WELCOMING SUN near water...

I have a great piece of news....


Sun is finally back after having disapeared for many weeks!!!
 
 
So we took a stroll along water...
 
 
But it's still freezing cold...
 
 
However, sun always gives a happy mood...
 
 
and makes you want to feel pretty to go outside!
 
 
I even risk my life (...!!!...) for some good clichés for you my dear readers!
 
 
In my outfit some really new purchases.
 
 
I bought this sweater a few weeks ago on Ebay, it's in fact a wool suit but unfortunatly the skirt is too large for me...

 
Another new purchase is this purse from Etsy... I have always dreamt to own one of these fan crochetted purses from the 40's....
 
 
but they are often expensive or in bad condition, so I found mine after years of hunting... LOVE IT!!!!
 
 
Did you notice the cute brooch I added? It's from the Australian brand ERSTWILDER, they handmade cute retro style jewellery.
 
 
My hubby also wanted to go out with an elegant outfit.
 
 
A stylish vintage 50's cocktail jacket found in a vintage shop in San Fransisco last year. The cut of this jacket is quite unusual...
 
 
 
He usually wears 40's ties but here he chose a late 50's pink one to match his jacket! I love men in pink!!!
 
 
His vintage 50's pants come from Hong-Kong and these 30's style shoes are from REMIX.
 
 
This vintage swing coat is an old find from Ebay. I don't think black is a sad color, I LOVE black!
 
 
This skirt is one of my first vintage purchase... found in the biggest european flea market (in Lille every first week-end of september) many many years ago. 

 
I have worn it a lot in my early vintage life but I still love it a lot!
 
 
I must also show you this lucite bracelet...
 
 
I also have the matching earrings, those kind of sets are not easy to find at an affordable price...
 
 
My hat is from a flea market in south east of FRANCE. I'm not sure how it should be worn but I think it looks pretty good like this.
 
 
My hairstyle is just a quick improvisation from this morning...
 

 
 What were you last finds from Ebay or Etsy?
Do you like black color? Sad or elegant?
