Believe 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?
Love the bottom picture. So funny x
It entertained me while I was making it 😀
Teehee
My great-aunt was a Land Girl, there’s an exhibition going on at Brighton Museum (not for much longer) on them as well. Lovely kecks, my dear!
I’m not a fan of the nude trend at all but i love this. it’s great how it manages to look so vintage with the modern items!
