Goodness, where has this week gone? That’s what happens when you have a cold. Suddenly it’s Friday and you feel like you haven’t accomplished anything.
Since I haven’t had the time to write up a blog post, you’ll have to make do with another outfit post. Last weekend we went to the International Expo of Sculptural and Functional Art and Intuit Show of Folk and Outsider Art. My tastes definitely lean to the latter.
This was my first time wearing this dress, a handmade vintage wool dress with (what I think are) dolman sleeves. I absolutely love it. The woman who made it took such care, too. It’s meticulous on the inside, including Hong Kong seams. What era do you think it’s from? I’m frankly not sure.
This brooch is one of my favorites, thrifted at some point in time. It was a really windy day, but warm enough that the dress was enough, so I pinned the shawl on and through the dress so it wouldn’t keep blowing away.
I love these gloves with this purse. When I knit them, I had forgotten I had a perfectly matching wicker purse. Kismet! It makes me think I may actually knit more gloves, after all, even though the fingers are such a chore. Or perhaps I shall be on the hunt for some fantastic vintage ones, like Charlotte of Tuppence Ha’Penny detailed in her recent post. I always long to have more matching accessories, but never seem to do anything about it.
Outfit details: vintage dress from La Poubelle Vintage; 30s/40s shoes from a vendor at Randolph Street Market; thrifted vintage brooch; Bakelite earrings from Etsy; gloves, beret, shawl all hand-knit by me.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
Love this look!! This yellow and brown combo is a fav of mine and it looks wonderful on you!!
You looks smashing, I adore the fall colorway with that pop of pale blue!
GASP!!!! so glam!!!!
flawless as always!
I’m really in love with the colours in this post: the rust brown with the different kinds of yellow in front of the azure blue background. I’m sure I won’t forget this colour combination. I’ll follow your blog.
Have a nice autumn day!
Wow you look fab! That dress with the yellow is just gorgeous! Love it!
It’s all so lovely. I am inspired to knit a shawl now 🙂
Beautiful color palette, the gold and brown are fun combination for autumn. Oddly enough I have the same golden brooch, think I thrifted it here in Chicago. The silhouette of the dress and the hemline makes me think it’s from the 1950s or early 1960s.
Did you go to the Vintage Bazaar tonight?? I was on the lookout for you! 🙂
Love it! How wonderful you had a purse to match.
You are looking fabulous! Love the colours and I do love matching accessories :o)
Thanks everyone! ♥
@The Thriftaholic (Leilani) No, I’ve had a cold and wasn’t up for going anywhere. 🙂 But I bet it was fun!
Love the red lipstick! x hivenn
Gosh, I love how coordinated you are! Very stylish too 🙂
Those look like dolman sleeves to me! Wonderful outfit!
This outfit is fantastic – I love the colours. The bag is soooooooo cute!
Lovely!
Utter lovelyness!
Hi Tasha! I’d like to share your pics on my blog as decor inspiration, would this be alright???
@Miss Elly You bet! And thanks for including me. 🙂
1960’s is what immediately sprang to my mind – the length and cut with simple styling. Lovely.
Thanks!
Gorgeous outfit, I love the idea of pinning your scarf on, wondering why it never occurred to me before…! 🙂
Gorgeous colour combo! Dolman sleeves were big in the early 50s and again in the early 60s (I did a lot of dolman spotting trying to find a pattern for a dolman sweater). To my eyes this one looks early 50s, but in great condition!
I think you looks absolutely gorgeous and the dress is lovely!! I think definitely 50s and maybe late due to the fittedish skirt. Love your gloves,bag and shoes and the brooch is gorgeous!! XxxX http://thesecondhandrose.blogspot.com/
Hope you are feeling better: you look terrific in spite of having a cold!
International Expo of Sculptural and Functional Art and Intuit Show of Folk and Outsider Art?!?! LOL! What a mouthful 🙂
Oh my goodness, I have that brooch AND a similar bag in red 🙂 I love the dress. Isn’t wool fantastic? So cozy!
Ooh, love the yellow accessories! That outfit is fab. xx
What a wonderful combination of colors and fabrics…!!!
FAB-U-LOUS! Great look, tasha! That yellow color is gorgeous and that starburst pin is to die for! I also adore that yellow bag!!!
IMHO nowadays yellow is a totally underestimated color. It goes well with grey, brown, blue, green … so it’s really good to have a few yellow accessories handy as you demonstrade here so beautifully. This is a really gorgeous outfit. And even if I love the warmth of summer I’m always looking forward to the cooler days because there are so many beautiful wooly things to wear.
I LOVE those gloves!
Love this look! Your outfit totally pops against your lovely vibrant turquoise wall too 🙂
Blimey! This outfit is PERFECT. Love it. And I know exactly what you mean about wanting more matching accessories but not doing anything about it. And the accessories I do have (especially for winter) – hats, gloves, etc. – barely get worn. Oops!
