OOTD // Comfy Jumpers and Vintage Dresses

This outfit isn't to everyone's taste (especially not my dad's) but I love pairing vintage dresses with big comfy jumpers, especially for the upcoming Autumn season.

I don't know how old the dress is, but I think it's probably 70's. I love dresses with the '50's' style; nipped in waist, mid length skirt. Because there's so much going on with the dress, I kept it pretty simple with plain accessories, although I did team it with my bright red duck bag!









The only issue I have with this dress is that the buttons strain against my giant B cup boobies, but it doesn't bother me too much. The strap on my bag has almost had it, but I think eventually I'll cut it off and use the bag as a makeup case or something.

How do you like to wear vintage dresses in the colder months?

OOTD // Summer Vintage

With the first sun we've had in a couple of weeks, I decided to shoot an outfit of the day. Vintage fashion is something I adore and I feel I don't show that enough in this blog. I love playsuits. I mean the proper fifties style that nips in at the waist and is bright and colour and just perfect for summer (and also autumn I suppose, if you wear them with tights.) Here's my take on a modern 50's style, and also showing off my bike that my boyfriend fixed up for me. I bought it off Ebay for £30 when it was brown and rusty. It's amazing what a can of spray paint can do.

I wanted to play around with a few accessories too just for these photos. Don't worry, I didn't go out with them all on at once!
