What I wore past friday ... my new to me 40s blazer: Class of Berlin Store // top: modern // pants: H&M // two tone swing dance shoes: flea market // vintage tooled purse: Mauerpark flea market // beret: flea market // amber brooch: flea market
This blazer/suit jacket was on my mind for 6 weeks before I bought it. I was so unsure about it, because like 85% of vintage jackets it has a little underarm odore. A very little one ... And they wanted 60€ for it ...
After buying a 'replacement' jacket on the flea market, which was far to big for me in the end ... I ran back to the shop and got this blazer for10€ off - after flirting and bargaining with the shop guy. For those 10 € I bought two boxes of sweat pads, those are pretty helpful, if you have a slight underam smell in old garments.
More about sweat pads and other little helpers on "How to deal with / How to remove underarm smell" hopefulle soon here on this blog.
Gosto dos seus looks, ficou linda.

I like your trousers. I am looking for a wider leg pair now that I have started to wear trousers again as the weather has turned much colder.
AntwortenLöschenThree parts water to one part vodka - spritz it on and it should take away the smell!
AntwortenLöschenGorgeous jacket, the pockets are fabulous. xxx
Really lovely jacket, I hope Vix's suggestion works for you! x
AntwortenLöschenI love, love, love this outfit! It is so chic, and I still can't get over those pants being from H&M. I wish I could have snagged a pair when they were in stock.

The lovely Vix beat me to saying it, but vodka really does do wonders. Test it on a discrete area first just to be sure using it on the garment won't damage/stain the fabric.
AntwortenLöschenWonderful outfit. I adore brown and navy blue together, too.

Thanks ladies, I know the wodka trick already for a while now. I spray it on garments pure!!! Never had any Fading! Wodka is one of the best helpers to cure special smells - but not all the time.(As long as the sweat bacterias sitting in the garment are still alive, it is prety useful))
AntwortenLöschenWow your vintage outfits are very good!!
