Enormouse maroon blouse: Thrifted.
Unhemmed navy spotted skirt that I cut too short: Thirfted, DIY'ed.
Black knee high boots that smell a bit (LOL how gross): Thrifted.
Black belt: Thrifted.
Beret: Myer, bought for a History assignment last year.
Box bag: Thrifted.
Minolta: Inherited.
Watch: Thrifted.



And yes, I do realise that one of my buttons is undone. It seems like I cannot make a single outfit post that does not involve at least one piece of my appearance being dishevelled or out of place. It adds to my charm, right? Right? Doesn't it? *sits in the corner*.

This skirt is evidence of my inability to do anything remotely easy. It was originally at a really awkward length, so I decided, being the smart cookie I am, to cut it and then ask my friend to hem it. Seeing how I'm a smart cookie, I forgot you need to leave a little bit of length so you can actually hem it. So now I'm left with an unhemmed, way-too-short skirt. And the sad things is, I DID IT AGAIN THIS MORNING. To the most beautiful black pleated dress. Woe is me.
And finally, time for an overly fake laughing shot:


Have a beau-tea-ful day, everyone. (image credit)

Love your outfit! Was just wondering who takes your photos for you :3! Also, what camera do they use :).
Lots of love! <33
Definitely part of your charm! Don't worry, I often have trouble looking 'polished' too. I've put it down to my inability to have neat hair though. Anyway, I think these are all gorgeous pieces, that make for a quite lovely outfit :)

"Black belt: Thrifted."
i never knew these kinds of things could be bought. i (think i still) have a blue belt with 2 purple stripes before i quit karate.

ahh...you're too cute.
I have definitely done that before... but i saved the skirt by sewing the part I cut off onto the inside. It made kind of an inside out hem, if that makes any sense at all.
love the skirt! the length is also great!

loving the vintagy details..
is the minolta a vintage camera ?
Yepp, officially in love with your blog and amazing posts of your vintage pieces.
The photos are lovely and you are extremely gorgeous!
i know it's a bit cliche, but that would be a perfect 4th of july outfit. and i also have a few pairs of shoes that are less than lovely smelling. leather + water sometimes don't mix.
It's late here and I don't get lots of times to read--where are you located? Who is Fred? LOVE your blog and your style. You have a good writing personality, too! I will be back!
Shoot me a reply if you get the chance...
you are too cute! i love this outfit:)
