Bubble Gum

I posted back in April about the hand sewn hem debacle that happened with this circle skirt and I finally fixed the hem and got some outfit posts of it!


Tada! I went for a coral and teal color palette. I love these two colors together and I think it gives a more modern edge to a very vintage ensemble.


My much beloved teal hat! It doesn't exactly match the color of the skirt, but they are so far from each other that I can cheat. Shhh! Don't tell. ;)


I just adore circle skirts! This one is made from a teal cotton twill and I used a 1950s magazine pattern to make it. The only thing I did differently (aside from hemming it twice) was to add a waist stay. I really like my circle skirts with almost no ease in the waist so they don't sag from the weight of all of that fabric.


I usually love a red lip but this outfit just needed coral instead!


I love this color palette heaps and I'm wishing for a few more cool days so I can wear this combo again before summer really sets in!


What color palettes have you been loving lately?

Dressing for Dinner

I may not be on Downton Abbey, but I can still dress for dinner!


I adore this vintage pink zebra stripe dress!


And I have the most perfect pink hat to go with it.


I love "matching" vintage pieces!


I choose bold red lipstick to stand out from all of that pink.


Loads of people commented on this dress and were surprised that I'd changed for dinner!


Yup, that's me bringing classy back.
