DAY NINETEEN:
So I spent last Saturday sewing. And normally when I sew I wear leggings and a t-shirt, but its Frocktober so I can't do that... so I thought this vintage nightgown and robe would be just as comfy - and it was!
Dress: vintage nylon nightgown and robe set
purchased on Etsy
But...
I went out for cocktails with my husband, so I wasn't going to go in my nightgown! I thought this was much more appropriate!

This dress. This dress. THIS DRESS!!!! Vintage late 1950s dress that has hardly ever been worn and is in immaculate condition. Sigh! I paid a fair bit for it but I think its worth every penny. I just adore it! Oh, and I realised that I had been doing my hair the same way for 21 days so tried to change it up a bit!

DAY TWENTY FOUR:
This outfit was inspired by a conversation I had on Facebook with a few people in regards to blue and green. We were discussing the old saying "blue and green must never be seen without a colour in between" and I was saying it was rubbish, and instead should be "blue and green is fit for a queen". This is my blue and green outfit!

Well, believe it or not, I am almost there with Frocktober, just 6 days to go! I've really enjoyed this and I hope its been interesting to you all too. I haven't done a normal blog post this week because I've been working my day job like a mad woman. Hopefully I've have something to report on the sewing front next week, cause I've been madly working my way through some customer commissions!
Have a great weekend! I'll be in a skirt making frenzy!!

I love seeing all your outfits, I'm so jealous of your wardrobe! I wish I could have participated in this (damm workplace having a uniform/must wear pants policy!)!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a shame Jen!! "must wear pants" how boring!!!
DeleteI am dying with envy here! i love all your outfits! They are all beautiful and you look stunning in all those outfits! You really have a great sense of style and you just know what to pick. I love all the outfits as well as the shoes. I love the shoes you wore for Sunday breakfast and the red ones. I think my favorite outfit of yours, if i were to choose, i think i would have to choose two. The Sunday outfit and that vintage late 1950's dress.

Thanks Ann! This has definitely shown me just how extensive my wardrobe is. I really do have some lovely things :)
DeleteBeccie, days 22, 24 and 25 are especially gorgeous! This might sound weird... but I would love to see your wardrobe! It must be enormous! And you must have bakelite bangles all over the place! Or is it an oasis of colour-coordinated calm?
ReplyDeleteCharlotte, its actually not! And I'm thinking of doing a Frocktober Follow-up post including photos of my wardobe and how I store my stuff :) I thought some of you might find it interesting :)
DeleteI ADORE your style, girl!! I'm immediately going to add you to my blog reading list! :) I especially love the outfit with the flamingo skirt & necklace. I have that flamingo print, but in the dress version! You always have such gorgeous eyes.
