Jumper, Shorts, Belt & Necklace - Vintage | Boots - AllSole | Bag - H&M | Headband - Crown & Glory
I love vintage clothing, but it is a rarity like today that the majority of my outfit is! The pain with being 5 ft 2 and generally rather petite, is that buying clothes is usually a nightmare. It's not unusual to find me picking up staple items from the kids section (it's so much cheaper, don't you know!) and ordering online typically means several returns before I get a perfect fit. Vintage clothes, despite my love and adoration for them, rarely - for whatever reason - are found in my size. So when I see something that will fit, it's a dead cert I'll buy it like these shorts from Wilderness Festival and this bow print jumper from a charity shop!
I think it's ever so funny that there are no passers by in these photos; it's the same street of independent lovely shops that I talked about in an post a week or two ago (click the link if you don't recall!) and it was so busy! Lots of people gawping at me as I posed and leapt on to the window ledge I'm sitting on; anything for a good picture, eh! Good thing I'm rather used to being stared at nowadays and no longer get embarrassed; I can practically see all you fellow fashion bloggers nodding in agreement.. Thanks to Rich for the photos ♥
I love how laid back and cool this outfit is. I definitely understand the issues with being short and finding vintage clothes. I tailor pretty much any vintage thing I find. I haven't tried kids' sizes in staple pieces. Maybe I should? I think having boobs might be an issue with some kids' clothes? haha
ReplyDeleteLove this outfit, perfect for autumn days - I'm definitely going to go back to wearing shorts with tights until it gets really cold! I'm also a fan of picking up bargains in the kids' department - one of the few fashion advantages to being 5'2! x
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit, vintage is easy to find for me as i'm quite tall - hadnt ever considered it must be a nighmare if you're little!
ReplyDeletevery cute, simple outfit....Like the boots :)
ReplyDeleteGlad some agrees about the stress of finding clothes that fit a petite frame! It's impossible to find nice nice pieces in small sizes! Find that vintage in smaller sizes tends to be loads more expensive too! Love this post & pics are beaut <3
ReplyDeleteLove this autumn outfit! The zip all around the ankle boot makes them more special! like like like! :)

ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean about being small and petite. I'm only 5ft tall and usually struggle to find clothes that fit just right for me too. That's probably why I don't own hardly anything vintage which is a real shame.
ReplyDeleteI think I've just fallen in love with you a bit!
