I usually don't wear knit dresses due to my curves but I own some 50's sweater suits... most of the time I only wear the sweaters of these sets because the skirts are not very flattering for large hips!
But I have just bought on Etsy from a really friendly seller Linda an amazing suit, I really fell in love with its color!
Just perfect to match my green eyes!!!!
Match also the color of my house shutters!!!!
I found those cute 50's dice earrings in a flea market in South of France some years ago.
Just a few words about my hair... just natural curls!!!!
I'm wearing this 40's beret for the first time. It was one of my purchases during my parisian trip for Christmas. It's a NOS hat!!! I love berets, easy to wear, elegant and so... FRENCH!!!!
I forgot to speak about these boots that I'm wearing on this picture... I was searching for 40's-50's style boots for winter because I often cannot wear my vintage pairs on winter due to snow or rain. I was really pleased to find these in a local ordinary shoes store before Xmas. There are a lot of nice repro for wedges or scandals but when it comes to winter shoes, it's hard to find, often inspired not really perfect reproduction.
It's often not easy to find the best coat to match an outfit... You can have an amazing New Look suit but if you are wearing common coat it's a pity ! I'm wearing here one of my favorite brooch : 2 green early plastic swallows linked by a chain made of pearls !!!
Do you wear vintage knit dresses ?
What are your favorite colors for your wardrobe ?
your curves look really gorgeous on knits! I love mint green, bordeaux and dark green :) xxx
ReplyDeleteI too am wearing a beret today! I adore all things French (and mint colored too for that matter.)
ReplyDeleteAdorable ensemble all the way around.
ReplyDeleteYou look absolutely fabulous! That sweater outfit is incredible, I love the color and it suits you very well :-)
ReplyDeleteBoth of those brooches are to die for!
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing!
ReplyDeleteI agree, it's difficult to find warmer clothes, especially coats and shoes! I got a lugh out of my inter boots teh other day, though. I bought them last year for warmth- Swedish winters can be very cold, but they are quite ugly. Then I saw a shoe ad from the 40's with a nearly identical pair of boots! They did have ugly shoes back then too... ;)
I have ALWAYS wanted a sweater set! This is too amazing for words!
ReplyDeleteoh wow - the minty color of this set is so lovely and so perfect with the purse and hat!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous outfit and i love the minty colour! It all goes so well together and your beret is amazing! I adore your look, you look so amazing! XxxX http://thesecondhandrose.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteI love vintage knit dresses, but they make me look fat! :( I have a lovely cardie in this kind of colour with white edging though - and matching eyeshadow, which I think looks cute!
