Other than the length, which I would have preferred a slight bit longer, this is a perfect skirt for me. It is a store made skirt but I am not able to make out the label. I'm thinking this was more of a teenagers skirt due to the length.
I'm very interested in the artist inspired novelty skirts. This one is whimsical and tells a story, so fun! It's a field trip to a museum theme. How perfectly me:) I'm not able to let down the hem as there would be a mark and it is a tad bit to small for me. This is where my latest gadget played an awesome roll. I bought a button extender. I do recommend them as now this skirt is quite comfortable to wear and I can breathe in it:)
The top is a NOS Judy Bond. I'm really in need of some new blouses/tops in vintage 50s styles. It certainly is easier to find skirts than tops. I'm hoping to find some nice color blend tops as I know the white is a bit bland.

Thanks for posting that button extender-I could put something like that to use.
ReplyDeleteWhat a dream of a skirt! The print, the colours, the cut-all just so perfect. I do see shirts around from time to time, but they tend to be embellished with lace, etc. Finding something plain is a bit more challenging.
Here's one, though I think it would be too big for you:

Oh, and "First!" (because I never grew up)
Thank you for this tip. This is a wonderful store. I think what I am going to try and do is look for more colorful cotton or knit tops. I do have a few cream/white blouses. Thank you for looking out for me. If you see Paris themed 50s skirts, scream for me.
DeleteSuch a fantastic skirt! I love the matching bangles and the shoes you paired with it too! It is quite difficult finding simple vintage blouses-many of them have adornment of some type or are in a print-which isn't bad at all, it's just sometimes tricky to match them to an item with a busy print or adornment of its own! :-)

Button extender you say?! I may have to look into one of those...so many cute skirts out there seem to be *juuust* too small for me...

This outfit reminds me so much of this one I wore recently: http://lovebirdsvintage.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/mad-world.html
ReplyDeleteThe design of the skirt is quite similar in colour and the pattern with the boxes!
ooo, i hadn't thought of using button extender. what a terrific idea!!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute novelty print! The button is very smart!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I love the idea of a button extender. I see so many skirts that I know would almost fit - something like that would be so helpful.
ReplyDeleteI do like the way you've paired the skirt with a simple white shirt. The casual style seems so youthful and sweet on you.
That skirt is SO brilliant! I simply adore it!
