50s Casual

A bit of hipster vintage filter going on in my pictures up in hurrrrrrr, try it out for yourself over at pixlr.com! No they don't sponsor me, I just like free programs that let me mess around with my pictars.



I bought these trousers for 2 euro at T2 (god I'm just going to name that store "you know where", I'm way too much of a spokesperson) because I fell in love with that one picture of Michelle Williams as Marilyn Monroe. 



How good are those retro 50s-60s casual housewife type of plaid pants? SO good right?? Betty Draper knows what's up too.


I might take mine in a tiny bit at the bottom. House frau pants should be tapered imo. Perfect with my vintage collegiate cardi and patent loafers! My boyfriend keeps repeating my trousers are punk, but I think they are totally 50s-60s retro. It's all in the styling, right?

In fact, I used to wear pants like these back in highschool with doc martens, safety pins and chains and shiz and I'm totally going to do that again one of these days. PUNK WILL NEVER DIE <3

sweater, polo, trousers: T2 vintage (GOSH)
loafers: New Look
headband: old, don't remember
ring: Alex Monroe


PS: check out my dip dye being featured here! My hair is famous! Have a nice weekend and don't forget to check out my previous post, please chime in on my rant about blog bashing.

  1. I don't know which I love more, your floor or the pants! (I typed that in a different order first, but it looked like a cheesy rhyme.)

  3. Wauw, coole broek! Voor een volledig retro én sexy effect zou je ze eigenlijk nog wat skinny-er moeten laten maken aan de onderbenen ofzo.. Maar echt mooi! En ik supergoede post trouwens van gisteren, wat je zegt over die 'bloghaters' klopt echt. Soms voel ik me een beetje belachelijk dat ik een blog heb omdat het zogezegd 'narcistisch' of whatever zou zijn, maar ik vind dat we ons daar allemaal niets van moeten aantrekken :). xx

  4. ja ik twijfel ook tussen flatterender gaan of de granny vibe volledig omhelzen :D over blogs en narcisme: zoals ik gisteren ook al op een van mijn commenters reageerde is bloggen gewoon iets moois scheppen waar anderen samen met jou van kunnen genieten. Als je het zo ziet is een heerlijk diner koken voor vrienden even narcistisch als bloggen, als je het mij vraagt :)

  18. I tried rolling them up a bit but the leg was too wide for it to look not-sloppy so I'm still not sure what to do with them :D thanks for your feedback!

  19. I always knew your dip-dye had a shot at fame! I agree, the tapered, slight crop is key, but you could also totally style these pants to be super punk rock with your dip dye after all...

  20. What a great pair of pants! You look amazing, as usual! I recently found a pair of plaid pants at a thrift store for 2 dollars! Can't wait to wear them!!
