I have been stalking etsy for corduroy everything for a few weeks now, but nothing awesome yet inexpensive struck my fancy. I had this idea in my mind of a seventies type of skirt with buttons going down the front and an A-line shape, preferably mini-length. When etsy doesn't give me what I want, I go to Think Twice. God I have mentioned that store in my last three posts, I'm so boring! Anyway, I got this skirt there. It used to be just above kneelength so I just cut off a few inches and I love how it ended up looking! I don't think I'm going to hem it unless the fraying goes crazy, but I kinda like the messy look. Goes with my grainy pictures. Yeah, I'm going to act like that was an intentional hipster effect. FO SHO
When I put this outfit together I was thinking about a streetstyle look that made the rounds a few months ago, it was this gorgeous, clean faced, long haired asian woman in a suede patchwork mini skirt, bare legs, brogues and a retro kind of purse, but I can't find the picture :(
No, wait, I found it, yeay! Oh internet how I love thee
So yeah, this skirt got my crave going. My skirt isn't nearly as eye catching, but I really love the shape, fabric and buttons. I just added some color and print with my top and tights so I still think the outfit has the same vibe even if I didn't copy it all the way.
top: Forever 21
skirt: T2 vintage
socks, cardi: H&M
boots: ASOS
I love both your outfits! I never really got into 70s fashion that much, but I'm becoming more intrigued by it because I find a ton of it in the thrift stores when I'm out searching for vintage clothing! So this is very inspiring for me. I'm going to be on the look out for corduroy skirts now.
ReplyDeleteI love it!! You look so fantastic. The texture mixture is divine. Those tights are way too much fun!!
ReplyDeleteIk wil die cardigan! En al de rest eigenlijk ook :). Bij UO heb ik ook zo'n rok gezien, maar ik zag direct dat die rok en mijn heupen geen match made in heaven zou zijn dus heb ik zelfs niet de moeite gedaan ze te passen. Wil ik nu toch wel doen na het zien van deze look :).
ReplyDeleteOhhh I love the button up the front style skirt, so cute! And that super chunky sweater is amazing, I absolutely love the colour

I love the outfit! Echt super-super mooi!
ReplyDeleteThis outfit is super cute! I've been wanting a corduroy skirt like that, but haven't found one. I love the one you're wearing paired with the patterned tights. The lace top looks really pretty with it too.
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I want a corduroy skirt like that/I really wanted one last autumn. I suppose I still do. Anyway, you look great, and I'm quite disappointed in myself for not reading your blog (or any others) quite recently.

ReplyDeleteGreat outfit! Your creations are not always my style to wear but this one, o my :) Great skirt, you've cut it off to the perfect length, me thinksss :) And the combination of the top and the colored leggings is sublime. You've outdone yourself in my opinion :-D
ReplyDeleteThat patchwork skirt is pretty stellar, I can see why the outfit inspired. I really like your take on it, too. Those crazy tights really work here.
