Just a quickie today: another 30's inspired, rather than vintage, look. In fact, nothing is vintage except for the brown knitted blouse, made and worn by my mother in the 70's. The chunky oversized cardigan/ knitted coat is another of her knits, which she made 12 years ago or so for me.
I wasn't entirely sure about this ensemble but I went out like that anyway. My husband kept telling me I looked like a war refugee... Not quite the effect I was after. What do you think?
No? Ok, maybe not then. :)
ReplyDeleteI really like it. I haven't seen any refugees recently so l can't compare :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, honey!
ReplyDeleteWell, if you look like a war refugee, you look like a well-dressed one! Very cute outfit. I saw a comment of yours on Tea with the Vintage Baroness and thought I would check out your blog. I'll be follower #79!
ReplyDeleteSo kind of you Lauren, thanks for joining me in the vintage quest :)
ReplyDeletefab outfit, love it! Lizzie
ReplyDeleteThanks Lizzie, I wasn't quite sure on the day, and I got some dirty looks in town which didn't contribute to increase my confidence. I still think I need to lose that belt in favor of a better one. But it wasn't the belt the worried me as much as looking somewhat frumpy, dowdy.
