My Vintage Tea Party
Ramblings and Reviews From a Lover of Tea and All Things Vintage
After two tea related posts in a row, I figured it was time to do an outfit post featuring a couple of my vintage-inspired items. Aside from the clothes I wear to work, I try to incorporate at least a little bit of mid-century charm into my outfits. I work at my local library checking in and shelving books in a back room, and there is quite a lot of dust and sharp edges lurking around every corner and mystery...stuff...on the surfaces of books and DVDs. In short, it can be dirty and not the best environment to wear some of my cuter things. I did wear some of my nicer outfits when I first started, but one day I snagged one of my favorite sweaters on the corner of a metal bin and from then on I decided I was going to be more selective about what I wore; at least until I acquired a much sought after library assistant position (where most of my time would be spent at a desk). The weekends are when I feel like I can wear my vintage inspired leisure wear without fear of ruining it. Recently, I discovered the brand Freddies of Pinewood, which is based in England and specializing in 1940s and 1950s style jeans and tops. I just don't feel like myself when I'm in regular pants, and modern jeans are simply not an option for me; I would feel like a slob. I am so glad I came across Freddies and took the plunge and ordered some. They are unbelievably flattering, have that true vintage look, and are fantastic quality! I love that they allow me to add some vintage flare to my leisure time outfits without sacrificing comfort. I currently have three pairs and I plan to buy more. Pants: Freddies of Pinewood clamdiggers Top: Talbots. Basic, solid color cotton shirts are invaluable and versatile Shoes: The children's department....I have small feet Belt: Dollz and Dames in New Orleans Purse: Ordered from Disney Store Japan Headband: Urban Outfitters I have such a soft spot for anything cute. While a lot of my wardrobe is vintage inspired, I also have plenty of items featuring Disney characters, cats, teddy bears, etc. etc. I suppose I like to mix vintage with "kawaii" sometimes. Don't ever feel like you have to limit yourself-- you might love vintage but still love cute. If you like it, wear it!
