Outfit Post: Super Market Sweep!

\
This is what I wore to the super market today to pick up 
our weekly groceries! I've been so stressed lately, I often 
find the best pick me up is to put on something that makes 
you feel great. I think I was channeling a late 40s secretarial
look but really I just wanted an excuse to wear this blouse! 

1940s Hat: Charity Shop.
Early 1950's Blouse: Charity Shop.
1940s Skirt (part of suit): Charity Shop.
1940s French Gloves: The Vintage Emporium.
Belt: Charity Shop.
1970s (does 40s) Shoes: Charity Shop.
1940s Black Crocodile Bag: Rokit.

Here's a close up of my hair and makeup! Please 
excuse my roots I am waiting to dye my hair just
before our trip to Berlin to ensure some wonderful
holiday photos! 
Lipstick (Ruby Woo): Mac.
Blush (Peach Melba): Mac.
Mascara, Eyebrow pencil and White Eyeliner: Rimmel.

  1. I love it! I wish I could dress like you all the time. Just out of curiosity, what color is your hair naturally? <3 -Natalie

  2. Thanks Natalie!
    My hair is mousy brown, or a very very dark blonde. It looks almost
    black at the roots though compared to the rest of my bright blonde hair.
