Outfit Post: My Dream Skirt




I bough this little beauty from Camden Passage Antique market  in Islington 
last year just after I moved to London, and has since become one of my 
spring/summer wardrobe staples. It is early 1950s and hand embroidered
 with the sweetest little farm work scenes. Unfortunately I have no idea 
where it was made, but it has a certain eastern European feel about it. 


I absolutely love Basket bags. Something about them just says sunshine!


This blouse is a 1950s men's cotton shirt that my boyfriend bought for 50p 
at a market for himself, but as it was to small I got to keep it. I love the 
red gingham print, and the fact that its far to big means I get to 
experience the cool spring breeze!




And this is how I wore it all! I hope you are all looking forward
to summer as much as I am, even if your not getting a sneak peak
of the spring sunshine like us lucky folks in London!
