Inspiration From The Past // Mai // 1959 // 02

 

summer is over -  waiting for the summer ... here are some more inspirations from one of those late 50s sewing magazines i found some weeks ago ... i hope you enjoy.

Office Girl ... dots and plaid

the perfect skirt for fall ... top: h&m // flanell like vintage skirt: thrfted // vintage belt: flea market // flats: h&m // handmade vintage bag: kleider machen beute, fashion flea market // grapes pendant: flea market ...

a simple and comfy office outfit from last week ... i suppose you will see this dress this winter a lot ... betty barcley vintage dress: vintage and shortened // belt: h&m // tights: aldi // boots: buffalo, flea market // vintage bag: flea market ...

work got my fully back ... i spent so much time at the office the mpast days. i'm far too tired to check out all my fav blogs ...

One Weekend - One Outfit

what i wore today ... escada cape: vintage, hand-me-down from my granny // denim blazer: payake // top: h&m // late 50s skirt: vintage ebay // vintage belt: thrifted // vintage petticoat: ebay //  tights: karstadt // boots: ebay // wicker bag/box: yesterday's flea market in my home town ....

what i wore on friday ... no petticoat to work ... top: h&m // vintage bag: flea market  ...

friday, saturday and today i wore almost the same outfit. normally this wouldn't happen to me but on friday the bf and i headed over to my home town to visit some family members, a few friends and -of course- to take a stroll over the most amazing night flea market. so we tried to get there as early as possible after work, because of that i hadn't time to pack a bag with different outfits ... i just threw two more creme coloured tops in the bag which are matching the new 50s skirt perfectly. sadly we didn't shot pictures of saruday's flea market outfit, on this day i paired a creme lace top with this outfit and i wore those boots.

we found some amazing pieces. one of my favs is this vintage wicker box/bag ... and three different coloured straw clutches ... and a rose pendant ...

Flea Market Outfit

 ... this is what i wore to last saturdays flea market ... warm and comfy ... knitted jacket: h&m // vintage dress: thrifted and shortened // vintage belt: flea market // tights: aldi // vintage lace up boots: ebay // bag: flea market // owl brooch: flea market ... here are some of my fav thrift and flea market finds from the past weeks ...

... black 50s bag: ebay // faux leopard coat: thrifted (unworn, 18€ ... score) // little snake leather bag: flea market (1€) // 90s shoes: flea market // the cutest little vintage wicker bag ever: kleider machen beute, fashion flea market (1€) ...

This Could Be My Favourite Dress ...

... yes, this coud be my fave dress ... chunky vintage cardigan: thrifted // 40s dress: thrifted (5€) // vintage belt: flea market // tights: aldi // flats: thrifted garbor // 50s bag: thrifted // vintage hat: flea market  ... 

this cotton 40s dress i found some weeks ago in a charity shop in the town i live ... it's so comfy and soft and cute and lovely ... but it's almost worn to pieces ... i really don't know how this cute little treasure will survive washing ... i already fixed so many seams and tried to fix holes as softly as i can ... (and the old lady that kept my fave dry cleaner running is retired now. to me she was the only person in town that knew how to treat 50 year old dresses kindly).

Checkered

checkered office girl ... cardi: orsay // skirt: thrifted zara // vintage belt: flea market // vintage boots: ebay // vintage bag: flea market ...

pink-ish checks ... vintage dress: kleider machen beute, fashion flea market // cardi: h&m //vintage belt: flea market // vintage boots: ebay // vintage bag: flea market // bangle: flea market ... sadly this dress is a little too small, i will have to let it go ...

Inspiration From The Past // Mai // 1959 // 01

 

 

a couple of weeks ago i found some awesome sewing and knitting magazines from the late 50s. most of them have still the patterns and tutorials ... i'd wish i could sew and knit. 

in the upcoming weeks i will share some of the inspiring pictures, dresses and advertisements with you. today we start with may 1959 ... i hope you enjoy!

Cold = Shorts

simple dressed office girl ... fall to me means: it's shorts time ...  woolen coat: h&m // vintage top: thrifted // 90s shorts: thrifted // vinatge belt: came with a skirt // tights: aldi ;) // flats: gabor, thrifted // vintage bag: flea market (1€) // poodle brooch: gifted, from istanbul ...

i don't like to wear shorts shorts without tights ... without them i feel kind of naked. every year it starts to get a little colder my so-called 'short season' begins.

yesterday i actually wanted to free my winter boots and box all the sandals and summery flats ... but i was quite shocked when i found out that most of my beloved boots have heels, even small heels ... because of my hurt foot i'm still not able to wear more than 3 cm heels. i'm quite good in walking right now but i feel most safe and comftable with tiny heels or flats ...  it feels like 'wearing flats' will be an everlasting challenge to me ... hopefully not - i love my collection of my heeled vintage boots.

Wearing More Blue

... office girl: it's fall ... coat: primark // vintage dress: from a friend // vintage belt: flea market // blue tights: ? // vintage lace boots: ebay // vintage bag: flea market // necklace: flea market ...

more office girl ... early 60s shirtwaist dress: vintage ebay // belt: istanbul // flats: h&m // vintage bag: flea market ...
