One Suit – Five Ways by The Fabulous Miss K

Retro Chick is taking a well earned break, but to keep you entertained today’s post comes from The Fabulous Miss K, stylist and events co ordinator at Blue Skies Vintage Events

When it comes to looking fabulous on a budget versatility is the key. Investing in pieces that mix and match and work together to create a multitude of outfits means that you have less clothes but more to wear.

Suits are a great way to do this as they can be split up and worn so many different ways. Invest in a stylish suit, whether original or repro, and you will find that it is well worth the money you spent on it as you will wear it day after day and create numerous outfits.

Here are five different ways I use one of my favourite 40’s suits (suit from Lulu’s Vintage, Elm Hill, Norwich)

ā¤ Blouse – Primark ā¤ Shoes – Goldfinches Vintage ā¤ Hat from Gressenhall Village at War ā¤

Outfit two

Outfit three

ā¤ Top – _untol at House of Fraser ā¤ Brooch – Aladdins Cave ā¤

Outfit Four

ā¤Scarf – Prim Vintage ā¤ T-Shirt- M&S ā¤ Trousers – Heyday ā¤

Outfit Five

ā¤ Skirt – Primark ā¤ Shoes – Lulu Vintage ā¤
