Daily Outfit – Vintage Tartan

By Super Kawaii Mama in daily outfit, Getting dressed, pin up, style, Uncommonly Fetching Mamas, Vintage style

Today was High Tea day and the very first High Tea I’ve ever taken Miss 6 to. It was cold, wet, dark and windy; so the outfits needed to be warm and chic to fight off the urge to stay home under a blanket. Miss 6 wore a little red pinafore with scottie dogs on it in keeping with the tartan / Scottish theme. I also realised while I was taking these photos that the dress matches Mr SKM’s kilt so you just know I’ll be doing a kitschy family outing soon!

Don’t you just love that ‘new dress’ feeling? This is my latest cracking vintage find, a 1950′s Italian vintage dress that is part secretary part sex kitten. WIN!

It has all the things I love about a great 50s winter dress. Great tailoring, beautiful quality wool, rear zip (no messed up hair), just past elbow length sleeves and making a very classic style just a little bit sexy.

Dress: 1950′s vintage Italian wool

Hosiery: Black sheer with red back seam by Voodoo

Shoes: Target

Handbag: 1950′s framed bag in black painted leather

Bow: Grace Lee

Earrings: pearled bows from Equip

Ring – Hand beaded creation found at a market

Lipstick – MAC Russian Red

Lashes – The Face Shop

Yep, I’m in love with this one!
