Outfit Post

I just realized I haven't done an outfit post in ages! But as I love seeing what other people wear (especially when it's vintage), I'm going to show you one of my latest finds!

This dress is from the 30s. I found it at Old Touch and it just needed a little restoration to become wearable again. The outer fabric is transparent, as you can see on the "winged" sleeves, and it has a sewn-in underdress. Both the outer and inner layers closes with snap fasteners and hooks and eyes in the left side. 

It gathers nicely underneath the bust...

...and the colors goes very well with my green Miss L Fire shoes!

There was no belt with the dress when I bought it. But I don't even think one was ever made for it. I decided to make one though, to make it fit well in my waist. Since I'm short (5'4, 162 cm), and my waist curves in pretty much, I just look even shorter if the dress just hangs straight down without following my shape. The belt makes me look at least 5'5!

Original Style

For those of you who happen to be in Stockholm this weekend, here comes a little announcement! This Saturday the first of four "Original Style" markets will take place in Skrapan!

The other three dates are March 3rd, April 7th, and May 5th. It's Fanny Kellerman from Kellerman Vintage who has put the whole thing together!

There will be vintage clothes, accessories, music, a small art show, and coffeeeeee!!!!! No entrance fee!

Except for Kellerman Vintage, Flying A Vintage, Less Is More, Old Touch, De Å Sånt, and other private sellers will be there selling their goodies.  

Tifa DeLeone will also be there, selling the second number of her magazine "Min boudoir". Finally!!! I loved the first number, and have been waiting for the second one to come out ever since! 

As I have to work (as usual when something fun happens), I can't be there this Saturday. But lucky enough for me, I will probably be able to attend one of the other three times!

Monday's school outfit

Oh the pressure of always having to wear something different to my PR-class on Mondays, so I won't bore my dear readers with already seen outfits! This time I cheated a bit though, and wore a skirt you've already seen - the one Fanny gave me. The top is an old one from Gina Tricot.

I've had a bit of a foot ache the last month, so I have to wear really comfortable shoes for the moment. I guess we all have our "old faithful" when it comes to shoes. The one pair we can always rely on if we know we're going to walk around a lot, and don't want to ruin the day by leaving bloody footprints behind us - even though the achy shoes might be pretty. These are my "old faithful":

I bought them many years ago at shoe store called "Din Sko" ("Your Shoe"), which is a bit like the H&M of shoes in Sweden, that sells shoes at very good prices. The day these shoes die, I'm going to have a proper funeral for them. And then I'm going to wear black for at least half a year...

This Monday I was a bit confused, and managed to jump on the buss to go to class one hour too early. Oooops! So, what is a girl to do, in the middle of Stockholm, when she has a whole hour to spend? She goes shopping of course!!! I went to a vintage store called "Old Touch". They have a lot of things in there! I think you could visit every day and still find something you haven't seen before.

I found a lovely dress from the 30s that got to come home with me. Pictures of that one will come later! Probably on the next "Monday's school outfit" post. I can't reveal everything right away, can I?!!!
