Nutcracker Inspired Holiday: The Mouse King

My love of the Bolshoi Ballet’s Nutcracker led me to some holiday looks this year, and this one is inspired by the Mouse King, with a grey 1950s taffeta dress and matching bolero jacket. The real wink-and-nod here, though, are the vintage Marc Jacobs mouse shoes from 1998, a treasure I’ve had since college. To round out the reference, I added a crown pin to my clutch.
