So there you go, I'm not wearing anything vintage or vintage inspired. I had to confess. And rarely for me, everything I'm wearing was bought new, from proper shops. I suppose lots of people wear brand new all of the time, but I felt a bit guilty, and perhaps because of this I came home with an extra-large haul from the charity shop - 3 dresses and 4 tops for just £5. That's more like it.
Skirt, F&F
Leotard, Jane Norman
Bracelet, local boutique
Hair bow & scarf, Primark
Polkadot trainers, Sainsburys
Bag, competition prize
Sunglasses, vintage Polaroid

The fabulous bag is by Paquetage, and is a new purchase, with a Zalando voucher I won from a giveaway the lovely Catherine ran over on her blog Not Dressed As Lamb. Thanks again Catherine!

FAB skirt!
ReplyDeleteWell, I think it's a compromise - an 80s-does-50s look! And very lovely too. I'm the same, if I don't wear anything vintage, I feel a bit odd (yesterday's jumpsuit and denim jacket was a case in point!) but there's very little in my wardrobe that isn't secondhand. Looking forward to seeing what you found in the charity shops.
ReplyDeletePS. Simon is Welsh, brought up in Mumbles, his sister and family have always lived in Swansea. We had a lovely day out in Cardiff last time we all went down to stay, it's a great city! xx
Its a timeless look, the body and denim skirt show off your fab figure a treat and those sweet little pumps add cheekiness.
ReplyDeleteGo on, show us your chazza finds! x
It's all new but still very lovely. I think maybe a hair scarf might have added a 50s element but without adding much fuss x
ReplyDeleteI love this look from head to toe.
ReplyDeleteThe Jane Fonda hair do goes perfectly with this outfit.
I really love the shoes and scarf as well :)
p.s. there is nothing wrong with buying something new every now and then :)
cute look! i love the sunglasses :) so retro!
ReplyDeleteLove this outfit! That denim skirt is seriously adorable and those shoes are just the perfect touch!
ReplyDeleteThose polka dot shoes are reminscent of the 50s, love the sunglasses and the outfit looks great on you, the black and denim are a classic!

So cute! I love the look of the denim pencil skirt and your sunglasses are perfect :).
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!!! I have a vintage dark denim high waisted pencil skirt that I love wearing with flats (and often saddle shoes), too. That combo has such a classic, youthful feel to it and is super ideal for long days on one's feet.

As you know, I don't think there's anything wrong with wearing all-new clothes :) and nothing wrong with your outfit here either - and I do think it still has a touch of the 50s with the canvas shoes. And if you look great, as you do, who cares anyway ;) x
ReplyDeleteLove your pale denim pencil skirt and how you styled it. The sneakers and blue-print scarf look great with it, Porcelina. Take a peek at my skirt today. It has a retro feel to it. I think you'd like it. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHave a Great Day!! <3 Ada.
I love that skirt with the braided pockets...and that backdrop is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteLove your orange bag, it's so different. Zalando have some great pieces. Cute polka dot pumps too!
