In the process of getting ready for the move I've been going through my closet and trying to decide what to keep and what to get rid of. My goal is to get rid of anything I haven't worn in the past year and keep pieces that will be versatile, especially in the upcoming months of transitional weather. As my "keep" pile grew and grew, I noticed it seemed to have a lot of plaid pieces in it. Among the pile was this 50s cotton plaid skirt and an H&M shirt dress. I love these pieces because they can stay in my closet all year round.
After putting these outfits together I'm thinking that plum is going to be a big color for me this fall. Also, can I mention how completely strange it felt to put on a pair of tights?!
Now: vintage cotton corset cover, felt cloche, vintage straw bag and sandals
Later: H&M ballet top, vintage wool beret, thrifted plum tights, vintage gladstone bag, UO boots
Now: vintage felt fedora, vintage Coach bag, thrifted 80s flats
Later: H&M cardigan, grey wol beret, thrifted plum tights, vintage Coach bag, vintage boots
very nice. i love tights as they can take a summer dress and turn it into an outfit fit for a winter wonderland. very versatile!

Both of these pieces are great! I've got a lot of plaid in my closet too, and this seems like a great way to get more wear out of them. I'm inspired. :D

I love when you do "Four Ways" posts! :) The first outfit is my fave.
ReplyDeleteand also hats I see (as you are wearing one in each shot!) This reminds me of your four ways (2 ways x two!) great looks.
ReplyDeleteI love that plaid skirt! It's perfect! :o)
ReplyDeleteI love your blog.
ReplyDeleteI love those purple tights. I've been kind of lusting after the look of black sheer tights ever since it became too warm to wear them but I like the arty look of the purple a lot and I wouldn't have thought of it myself. really cute.
ReplyDeletei love now & later posts!
ReplyDeleteand i too am a total sucker for plaid!
GORGEOUS.
ReplyDeleteI really love your blog, and I follow it since there were no more than 10 comments.
