A few outfits of late and A serious chop…

Tomorrow I am off back to Leeds after a glorious time back in London and I just thought I would share a few of my outfits of the last couple of weeks, although I was actually really limited as to what I had to wear because I didn’t have much room in my suitcase to bring clothes home. You will see that at the end of my time back home I rather changed my look too…

 

First off was this lovely silk Victor Josselyn dress. This is one of my all time bargain pieces (£20 a few years ago from ebay). It is a late 1950s dress and has an intriguing underskirt trimmed with red silk which I often can not help but reveal!
 Next off one of my favourite suits of the moment. I’ve blogged about this little suit before, but I finally got round to getting it dry cleaned so for my RCA interview it seemed like the perfect opportunity to wear it (squeezed into the 22in waist…painful but well worth it!). I’m wearing it here with a little white cotton shirt which I believe is 1930s. This shirt is made from the softest cotton ever. It feels like tissues on the skin.
Next off an outfit which I feel I have pretty much lived in for the last few weeks (partly because it is one of the few things I have easily to hand). This is one of my favourite novelty print skirts, I believe it is American and features bouquets of flowers wrapped in newspaper, a lovely example of a 50s circle skirt. I’m wearing this was a 1960s yellow beaded “made in Hong Kong” cardigan and one of my all time favourite pieces of Tatty Devine jewellery. 
Then onto this lovely 70s dress in a really intriguing cotton devore fabric. This dress was owned by the same lady as the suit above.

After insisting for what feels like months on end that I was going to get my hair cut on Monday I finally bit the bullet and did it. GULP. Back to the pixie crop.
 
very cute Easter appropriate brooch from Tatty Devine and vintage St Michael rose print 50s circle skirt, accent my new look!

 

Improvement on the long hair. Si?

  1. It suits you very much. Also, you're the only person I know who'd be excited about this, but I'm going to look at some Norman Hartnell suits this weekend, hopefully to buy!! Eeep! x

  2. wow you have some amazing vintage clothes, i adore vintage clothes but find it very hard to get sizes here in dublin, you look fab, your haricut is really lovely too. best wishes from dublin xxx leonie

  3. I must say the hair cut really, really suits you! I'm suddenly tempted to cut all of mine off too but am far too nervous for that (plus my boyfriend would kill me)
