Outfit: Minty Bridesmaid

Quite a long time ago I managed to score 2 sets of 1930s bridesmaids headpieces and gloves in the most beautiful pistachio ice cream colour on ebay. I haven't worn them out yet because the netting on the headpiece is sooo soft and delicate and I'd probably tear it just going outside, but I should just wear them out, there's no point secreting them away forever. I'm wearing the set with a 1960s fitted babydoll dress which has minty marabou pompoms attached and a white cotton blouse. The green and the lilac together just kills me... X

Twists and a Rosette

Some photos of a twisty hairdo and a rosette I made a few weeks ago one evening very quickly out of scraps of fabric, floristry ribbon and a dried flower. For some reason I sewed a safety pin on to it but have never worn it, so decided to and I really like the idea of making these now... This object won't last a long time wearing, eventually it'll fall apart because it wasn't really constructed with wearing in mind, but I like that. I'll make them with seasonal flowers and scraps of textures I'm feeling inspired by at the moment and when they fall apart I'll make new ones depending on how I'm feeling and what I like at the time. I'm interested in combining the things I make with what I wear on a daily basis so here's to exploring that a lot more! X

Outfit: Riding pants and 1940s coral jacket

So, I forgot I had these trousers, which means I've been missing out on curve-hugging comfort for who knows how long! Really great, by Berterex, and pretty similar to those American Apparel riding pants actually, but thinner fabric. I wanted to take some photos of my 40s coral jacket already and it turns out it goes really well with these trousers! X
