Tasha Could Make That

Vintage knitting, sewing, and a lifetime of craftiness

Stripes and polka dots outfit

August 12, 2011 by Tasha 13 Comments

Happy Friday!

I just have a little outfit post for today. This was actually an outfit I wore a few weeks ago when it was ungodly hot out. I tried to be as cool and comfortable as possible, while wearing a new pair of shorts I bought.

Outfit details: sailor top from Bombshell Shocked, high-waisted shorts made by Sunny Threads via eBay, espadrilles from Mod Cloth, purse made by Milloo on Etsy.

My hair was being uncooperative in all the humidity, so I tried to get a little finger wave in my bangs since it was so flat. While it looked okay from the front…

…I laughed when I saw this next photo. Um, not exactly neat and tidy. Oh well, sometimes things don’t work out as well as you planned! I’ll just keep blaming the humidity.

While I tend to prefer smaller vintage purses, sometimes you just need a big ol’ bag to tote everything around in. I love my red canvas Milloo bag, all the way from Greece! I ordered it over a year ago and it still looks great. And of course it goes without saying (though I’m saying it anyway): I love supporting small DIY businesses.

Accessories details: bamboo bangles and heart necklace were gifts, and the amazing ‘Fakelite’ ring, scarf and earrings were all from Etsy.

Anyway, it was a fun outfit to put together. I liked all the red accents, especially with the polka dots and striped trim on the blouse.

Have a great weekend!

    You look great. I so enjoy seeing your outfit photo shoots. You look very cool and neat in the classic navy and red, not at all dull, as in same ol’ sailor. I especially like the blouse. You done good, girl!

    Love it!!! 🙂 I had to giggle at your comment about neat and tidy hair: during the summer mine never stays put! I just say I’m being authentic, since I dare say most ladies back in the day looked a bit messy from time to time too. 😉 lol. Love your Fakelite! I’ve been collecting up a couple pieces lately–having suddenly fallen in love with chunky, plastic jewelry! 🙂

    Love this outfit, I especially like your blouse, that’s given me a sewing idea if I ever get back to sewing!

    As for neat & tidy hair, mine never does neat & tidy, it just doesn’t play that way, it’s course, wayward, does what it want but holds a curl well, so I just go with the flow, it’s the best way ;o)

    Like everyone else, I adore this outfit. It’s so perfectly 40’s- the shoes, the shorts, the hair…everything. Now, if only someone could dress me just like this… 🙂
