These pictures were taken the first week-end of May.
1rst May is a day off in France so we could enjoy our first week-end back under the sun!
That was a flea market day, I found some great vintage jewellery but forgot to picture them!
We were in Belgium and made a short stop in Luxembourg for a small photo shoot.
Here is what I wore, all 50's!
In France, the 1rst of May is Lily of the valley day. I don't know if it's the same in others counstries....
So I created this brooch myself with vintage plastic flowers found in a previous flea market.
My husband chose a late 40's look.
A follower asked me how much vintage ties have Sylvain...
Probably more than 200 I think...
Moreover he sold a huge lot of 100 50's ties last year!!!
He really is a 40's tie addict.
I have already noticed that people stare more at me when I wear full skirt and huge hat...
I think at least 50 people asked me for a picture on that day!
Hubby wearing bright colors was also solicited a lot.
He was wearing his new Muffy's saddle shoes.
I have had this vintage 50's dress for a long time but this is the first time I wore it.
I don't know what to think about polka dots...
I like them but I think there are too much cheap repros using them!
So even if this dress was an original from the 50's, I didn't feel like wearing it because it looked repro...
I'm crazy, aren't I?
So I finally decided to wear it, I chose matching accessories and really like this outfit!
Did you notice the lily of the valley on my hat?
Do you also give lily of the valley to the people you like on the 1rst of May?
What do you think about polka dots pattern?
New things on my blog, a small corner for french spoken people who cannot understand well english...
FRENCH CORNER
Bonjour à tous les francophones qui suivent notre blog! Suite à des remarques de quelques lecteurs, j'ai décidé d'ajouter un petit plus dans notre belle langue pour ceux qui ne maîtrise pas la langue de Shakespeare...
Quelques photos de notre 1er week-end après notre retour des USA, le pont du 1er mai! Style 50's pour moi, 40's tardif pour Sylvain pour une journée de brocante en Belgique.
Boutonnière muguet faite maison avec des fleurs vintage.
Mon mari, véritable accro de la cravate, en possède à mon avis plus de 200, celle-ci est américaine des années 40!
Ce genre de tenues provoquent toujours beaucoup de réactions dans la rue, quasi 50 personnes nous ont demandé de poser pour des photos ce jour là!!!
Cette robe dormait depuis des années dans mes placards... je la trouvais trop "repro" alors que c'est une originale des années 50. L'usage des pois sur tout est n'importe quoi a fini par me donner un sentiment mitigé sur ce motif... dommage... Mais au final, bien accessoirisée, je me suis sentie à l'aise dans cette tenue! Et vous, vous en pensez quoi des motifs à pois?
- A très bientôt -
