Can I just say first off that I adore this cardigan? I found it on my latest thrifting jaunt on Saturday and in all seriousness I think it is the bomb diggity. The shape, the buttons, the knit pattern; this piece screams 1950s knit to me although I suspect it’s actually modern. However, I don’t care. I love it.
And I love my new skirt! It’s made out of a jersey material so it’s nice and warm for winter. I also picked up a teal & a purple skirt in the exact same material, style, and size, so I suspect that these three skirt were owned by the same person. The other two aren’t in as good condition as the navy one, so I guess that this skirt was reserved for “going out”. I plan on wearing the purple and teal skirts for pottering around the house in, but I can see this navy skirt becoming a new favourite for outings. ^ u ^
I have to say I really like this outfit all over, because I really feel like I’ve finally pulled together a really truely vintage look with this one. I think I could probably improve on the shoes, but other then that! *is excited* My vintage wardrobe is finally expanding and coming together. It’s taking a while, but hopefully once I can sew faster and better, than I can have it grow even quicker.
Speaking of growing, I cannot believe how big Theodore is getting! He is six weeks and four days old today, and he already barely fits in both my arms any more! Crazy times. They just grow up so fast. I could get sentimental over the fact that he’s not really a newborn at all any more, but to be honest I am so looking forwards to him running around and being able to do stuff that I don’t mind how quickly he is growing up. I cannot wait to get to know more and more of his personality as he gets bigger. Babies can be such fun!

It's a lovely look, especially with those splashes of white. And look at your little man with his gorgeous chubby cheeks! I think you're amazing the way you're managing to balancing blogging and being a mum.
ReplyDeleteThanks Katie! I do like how my gloves & belt look with the navy & red. I
ReplyDeleteusually avoid this color combo {yes, it is a little USA} but I think it
really worked this time.
It's sometimes really hard to keep up with my blogging, but it is too much
fun to give up. : )
Oh wow! I just adore this outfit! It's stunning!
