finding the perfect shoes for winter is quite challenging, especially if you prefer wearing skirts even at snowy and freezing cold winter days ...  so i went through some of my fav blogs and i found some lovely inspirations ... hope you like it.

Office Girl ...

... the perfect office dress from the sixties dress ... cardi: h&m // vintage kleid: ebay // vintage snake skin belt: thrifted // boots: ebay // vintage bag: flea market ...

Winter Skirt

 

wow, i had this week end completly off from work ... a whole weekend, two days, wow ... the bf took me thrift shopping yesterday. this is what i wore ... black cardi: primark // warming vintage skirt: thrifted // belt with a bow: primark // shoes: thrifted years ago // straw clutch: flea market ... hahaha, look at my dirty shoes ...

ten days ago primark finally opened a store in the town i live in ... meanwhile i ran there three times to get more of these cute and simple 50s like cardigans (10€ each) ... you will see them soon in red, brown, off white, light pink, turquoise ... and i think about getting a darkblue one as well.

i will always prefer vintage clothes but i love these high street stores for their colourful selection of basic pieces . it makes life so much easier sometimes.

Checkered Work Weekend

friday's outfit at the office ... shirt: primark // camisol: karstadt // vintagge skirt: thrifted betty barcley // boots: ebay // vintage bag: flea market  ... actually i wanted to wear a lovely 40s dress this morning but it was raining cats and dogs and i was afraid to ruin it while riding the bike to work ... winter time is not a friend of mine ...

saturday's office girl ... knitted blazer: old h&m // vintage dress: flea market, shortened // two tones: bleyle, swing dance shoes // straw bag: flea market // vintage rose pendant: flea market ... not pictured: the warming knit legwarmers i wore on the bike ... hahaha, luckily the hairdo looked still good in the morning so i didn't had to change ... thanks again to the person that invented hairspray.

today i'm so tired, it's my only day off work this week ... i don't get dresses ... i'll stay in bed. ... actually i can't believe that i even found a littel time to shoot these both outfits this week. phew!

Vintage Barbie: New Dress

hello from vintage barbie ... she's got a new shirtwaist dress and warming cardi ... and she's so proud to present you her new original vintage barbie boots. they just arrived (these boots are made in japan-1970 and i suppose they could be quite collectable, barbie is from 2008 and just repro). i have to say, i like vintage barbie so much that i try to get her a vintage (repro) friend ... then they can share the dresses. oooops, ok, barbie doesn't want to share her dresses, she just told me.

this happens, when work eats up all my private time and i don't find the energy to dress up myself.  ... it's barbie time.

Office Girl: Just Boy-ish

... blouse: h&m via flea market // vintage pants: joop!, thrifted // swing dancing shoes: bleyle // vintage hat: vintage store, berlin ... like every year at this time work eats up all my time ... life is boring, i have nothing to tell ...

Checkered Weekend

the past saturday i ended up in this lazy shorts+oversize blazer outfit ... the bf wanted to go thrift shopping so early that i was far too tired to get dressed up nicely ... but i left the house double checkered and powerful ... love this 80s swinger coat: bogner, thrifted // vintage blazer: beacon's closet, williamsburg, NY // top and denim shorts: h&m // belt: flea market // vintage boots: ebay // vintage bag: thrifted ...

yesterday's office girl: orange white brown

friday's outfit ... vintage cardi: thrifted // early 60s dress: ebay // vintage petticoat: ebay // lace up boots: ebay // vintage bag: flea market ... i'm so bored about those boots ... but i'm still not able to wear my huge collection of awesome winter shoes ... once in a while the foot still hurts so bad and i'm still afraid to make it worse by wearing even small heels. hopefully you're not as bored as i am.
