Coat: Vintage 1960s, Thrifted
Blouse + Bow: Thrfited
Culottes: Glassons (on sale)
Shoes: Thrifted
I wasn't going to share these pictures at first. I thought they took away from the summer feel of my previous
pictures. Spring also has drizzly overcast days though and I have acquired an insane amount of beautiful coats these past few months. I thought I may as well take the opportunity to show you one before the heat kills me.
I have been dressing so simply lately- hair down with dresses and boots - that I found myself a bit overwhelmed with all this layering, fuss and having my hair up that I went home a bit early on date night to change.
This coat was one of those finds at a thrift store that you protect like it is your child. I don't know about you, but I often worry when I find something really beautiful that it will be the one day someone steals it out of my cart while I'm in the changing rooms. That didn't happen of course and I can now add it to about 15 wonderful coats (and one cape) I have found in the thrift stores since America. It makes me even more excited for fall than I already am knowing that I have stock waiting to be sold that I am in love with. The Alexa Chung look of it is an extra plus too!
The shoes were a recent find too at a church thrift store that not too many people know about. I have been so drawn towards things that look almost royal lately. These along with a fur collar coat I found remind me also of 'A Little Princess' and so although they are a little small for me I will suffer for them!
I forgot to mention in my last post that I got a hair cut. Not that a fringe and dye job is drastic, but I thought I would show you all a quick shot of it anyway! (sorry for the weird facial expression I'm no good at this mirror photo buisiness)
Lovely!
ReplyDeleteI also miss fall, even though summer barely started. There's nothing quite like layering and snuggling in coats and sweaters.
Hope you had a nice day!
i can't begin to say how wonderful this is, this post is very inspirational to me.

ReplyDeletei am soo the same way when i'm thrift shopping. i've had entire shopping carts nabbed from right beside my changing room door and it's the WORST. honestly, i get so riled up and competitive sometimes when i'm thrifting that i try to go alone so that i don't alienate friends by being thrift-bitchy. hahah.
