Retro Chick Presents: Vintage Style Hair Rolls
March 9, 2010Peaches and Pearls
March 15, 2010Believe it or not I’m not off to plough fields and plant potatoes.
I’m merely popping out to the pub for a quick drink.
I rarely wear trousers, but I found these gorgeous, high waisted, check wool Hobbs trousers and really felt the urge to build an outfit around them. I actually think they’ll probably be a bit more flattering when I’ve lost a few of the pounds I’m still hanging onto after Christmas/Burns Night/Valentines Day/Insert excuse here but more on that whole kerfuffle another time maybe!
❤ Scarf (around head) - vintage ❤ Batwing jumper - Topshop ❤ Wool Trousers - Hobbs via a Charity Shop ❤ ❤ Lace Up Brogue Shoes - New Look ❤ Brown Leather Handbag - Vintage ❤
The jumper I haven’t worn for years. I know nude is a huge trend now, but I just can’t get past the feeling that I look a bit like I’ve gone out without a top on, so I’m not sure it’ll go back into regular wear. I’m being pretty negative about this outfit, but I actually quite like the look. It feels nicely understated, simple and comfortable, but still smart.
I quite like the landgirls vibe too. Can you spot the one who isn’t really pulling her weight?
