Oh the joy of finding a vintage treasure tucked away in your wardrobe! Long covered over by everyday essentials (read: boring with a capital b!) such a gem hides in anticipation waiting for its day in the sun.
And yesterday was my old friend's time to shine again. Flitting about in a "we're running late!" for brekkie reservations panic (yes, one has to reserve a table when a petit poppet is added to the equation). Freezing my little pa-tooty off in nought but my under garments I flicked through black, grey, black, grey...and then...♪ a little ray of sunshine..came into the world ♪.
Re purposed from a GIGANTIC vintage caftan I thrifted many moons ago, this little folky smock is one of my faves. Add a vintage tooled leather belt...."coming, Honey!", some black leggings and a skivvy and some slouchy tan boots from Scooter...."I know we're late...will be out in a jiffy"... and pull crazy hair into even crazier bun like concoction et voila! Eggs Benedict, I can taste you!!!
:) Coming oce you have taken a few picture:) Love it Steph - it looks great on you:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful top Steph! I love it when you find something in your wardrobe that you have not worn for ages and it almost feels like new again..

ReplyDeleteDarling Steph, you're totally rocking that kaftan refashion!! Oh i love it!! I'm trying to design a billowing patchwork blouse in reds, which i've seen on a model in a Marie Claire cook book, who cares what she just 'baked' the red patchwork screams trans-seasonal fashion!!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful Steph! I'm a bit like you when I go through my wardrobe. Black, grey, black, grey, black, white, grey!!! I've been trying to mix it up with a little bit of colour lately. x
