Are you from PROVENCE???

I have lately a new interest....

It's 40's long dresses!

Sometimes when you are in vintage for a long time...

you want to try something new.

So I came up with this look ....

This dress is US from the 40's between squaw ones and southern belles gowns.

but I had a lot of unexpected feedbacks from this outfit...

We went to a large flea market on that day,

where I met this cute puppy...

that was under a bright sun

 and HOT temperatures!

Hats were a MUST have!

So what people thought about my unusual outfit???

For a lot of people, I was a Niçoice

 wearing a tradional outfit from south of France..

The kind of costume on the picture above...

Never thought about that when I created this outfit...

but now that I see those pictures...

why not?

even if nothing is coming from Provence in it...

It was fun to see people mistaken!

So Sylvain was like an american tourist

 with his 50's hawaiian shirt...

he visited french Riviera...

and met a local girl....

The sun was SO bright on that day...

it was hard to take good pictures...

too much light!!!!

It's sometimes so fun to hear comments of people about our outfits... 

most of the time behind our back...

they are often nice...

but they are so surprised that they can say really unexpected things!

What do you think about my Provencal outfit?

Do you try to find sometimes new styles in your favorite era?

Quand on est dans le vintage depuis longtemps, on cherche forcément à changer un peu de style de temps en temps... je me suis récemment découvert une nouvelle lubie: les robes longues 40's! Voilà donc à quel look je suis arrivée il y a quelques semaine... cette tenue a suscité des remarques plus qu'inattendues lors de notre visite à un grand marché aux puces sous un soleil de plomb! Et oui, il est souvent marrant d'entendre les commentaires des gens la plupart du temps derrière notre dos... en l’occurrence ici où les gens se demandaient pourquoi je portais un costume niçois... j'avoue ne pas avoir pensé du tout à cela en enfilant cette robe typiquement américaine!

Blogging BAD HABITS....

To be a blogger can make you develop bad habits....

one of my bad habit since I have run this blog is...

to not want to wear the same outfit twice!

Sometimes I really love an outfit but

 I just don't feel like wearing it again,

because I want to give something new in each post.

That's quite silly because some of my favorites clothes just sleep in my wardrobe because I have already presented them in these pages...

Sometimes, Sylvain is feeling the same way...

but as his wardrobe is smaller than mine he has already presented the same clothes several times just mixed differently.

Have you ever noticed that?

So can you tell if I have ever worn this outfit on this blog?

No? So HERE is the answer...

I loved to wear that skirt so much, 

so I asked myself why not wearing it again and presenting it with different accessories?

And what motivated this outfit with something old and something new were these shoes!

Cherry Miss L Fire sandales!

Blue, white and blue for a nautical inspired outfit!

Starfish earrings...

Squid brooch from Erstwilder...

and my vintage fishes and mermaids scarf!

I managed to tie it just to show this little fish!

You never know how it will turn when you start to tie a scarf like a turban...

Sylvain was also in a nautical mood...

with this fishies hawaiian shirt!

Perfect outfits for our hot summer.

Blogging also provides some good aspects...

for example trying to give the best of you!

I think that because of this blog, I learnt more about what to match together.

So my question for myself was here:

"Did I enjoy wearing almost the same outfit twice?"

My answer is definitively a BIG yes!

It was fun to find new accessories to match...

and I felt like Carmen Miranda on that day

whereas last time I felt a bit like a bavarian girl!

Weird, isn't it?

I think I must stop refrain myself with this bad habit and just wear what I like even if it's an outfit I have ever pictured here... Crazy me...

Did you get bored by this similar outfit?

Did you even noticed that I had already wear that skirt?

Avoir un blog peut développer d'étranges habitudes... une de mes mauvaises tendances est de ne pas vouloir porter 2 fois la même tenue dans ces pages... j'ai voulu combattre cela dans ce post. J'avais adoré porter cette jupe ICI alors pourquoi ne pas la représenter sur le blog avec de nouveaux accessoires, j'ai trouvé cette expérience assez agréable, c'est fou comme quelques babioles peuvent vous donner un sentiment différent... je me suis sentie proche de Carmen Miranda avec cette tenue alors que la dernière fois, je m'étais sentie un peu bavaroise... étrange... bref, au final, aviez-vous noter que cette tenue avait déjà une jumelle dans ces pages? Fun ou ennuyeux? Pour moi, ce fût fun sans aucun doute! Expérience à réitérer!!!
