Inspiration From The Past // 1938

 

 

today i post pictures taken from a german fashion magazine the bf found me on one of his flea market strolls he took without me, while i was at work.  ... all the patterns are still in there ... does someone out there wants to sew me this gorgeous sailor suit - please?

even if you don't want to sew me anything shown in the pictures above - i hope you enjoy another little trip into europeans fashionable past.

Faux Pas

faux pas ... i wore a white petticoat with a dark outfit ... i don't own a good dark one ... and it was much warmer to go with the petti ... vintage sweater: thrifted // 50s skirt: made in berlin store // vintage belt: flea market // vintage petticoat: ebay (almost falling apart) // 80s flats: flea market // late 50s bag: flea market ... i never thought i could find a piece that would match the colours of my old beloved floral flats so perfectly ...

the bf found a photo album on a local flea market some weeks ago ... i suppose this was the album of this beautiful dark haired teenie lady above showing pictures from her friends and family ... the pictures are mostly shot between 1939 and 1941 (her portait was shot in 1936). She lifed in a town close to the city i live in  in the south of germany. her life seemed to be so peaceful, she propably traveled a lot (photos from skiing, vienna, ...) ... and she was dressed quite fancy some times ... look at her amazing spotted animal print coat and her gorgeous hats. WW2 doesn't seem to affect her life this time ... i'd wish i could find out more about her and her life. ... isn't she lovely?

there are still some pictures left ... i will post them another time.

Office Girl ... Back To Front

what i wore on wednesday to work ... blouse: flea market (h&m, bought it from a dear friend) //  vintage belt: came with a skirt // skirt: thrifted // tights: karstadt // vintage shoes: flea market // straw clutch: flea market ... not pictured a warming shrug ...

i wore this gorgeous h&m top back to front because when i tried to put it on, i found out that i wasn't able to close the buttons on the back on my own. without the bf's help i wouldn't be able to put it on - or even to take it off at night. so i decided to wear it back to front. not too bad.

underneath the blouse i wore ski underwear to keep my  hurting back warm. it's much better but i still feel it. thank you so much for you lovely wishes!

Office Girl ... Roses

simple but nice ... cardi: h&m // simple top: h&m // late 50s skirt: ebay // vintage petticoat underneath: ebay // tights ... // vintage flats: thrifted // another early 60s wicker bag: ebay // bangle: from rio de janeiro // rose necklace: flea market  (detail here) ...

yesterday and today i stayed at home because i got sick this weekend. i have a bad hurting back, hurting bones, the worsed headache ever and little fever ... on monday i wasn't able to do anything else than to spend the whole day in bed suffering. so i leave you with an oufit from last week. it was shot when wheather was still a little warmer ... this look is nothing special but who wears a petticoat to work?

First Snow

on saturday it snowed the first time this winter. a littel too early i think ... the little white flakes melted when they touched the ground ... this is what i wore a warm mixture of different decades ... 70s vintage coat: thrifted // 80s pullover: thrifted // knitted pencil skirt: thrifted // vintage belt: flea market // 80s fringe boots: flea market // scarf: thrifted // hat: flea market // 50s bag: flea market ...

Hat Day

satursday's flea market outfit ... trench: primark // 70s dress with a 40s twist: ebay // tights: aldi // 90s booties: flea market // hat: vintage, from berlin // straw bag: flea market ... this saturday we went to two flea markets in aroudn the town we live and as i was wearing a hat this morning i scored on a total of 7 vintage hats ... propably this was the last big flea market weekend this year. the weatherman says it starts freezing and propably snowing the upcoming weekend.

 

 this red cutie from the 50s need to get refubished. it need a new ribbon and a new lace.

 

this one is in a perfect condition ... it's colour is not too perfect for a blonde like me but it fits perfectly. ha, and of course i found an amazing little50s/60s leather bag. isn't it cool ith those studs?

... this red soft cap i also got in creme ... and this summery 50s piece is actually my fav but it doens't fit too good. i will have to play around with it ... propably i have to find the perfect hairdo to make it fit better ... those earrings i found on the flea market as well. didn't pictured two sixties hats ...

advice: what i learned this weekend, if you want to buy a hat (or more) on a flea market wear one! when i passed by some seller's stalls they started talking to me because of the hat i wore and then they unpacked their little treasures ... all in all i spent 16€ on all hats i got this day. mega score!
