Vintage Feeling


Hello there! I hope you all are having lovely weekends so far. So far, I've been sleeping too much (really, it's terrible) and enjoying not having to frantically do work now that I'm on break! I wore this outfit on Friday to o a little thrifting. The skirt is, as I'm sure you've noticed, a bit longer than what I usually wear. I'm not sure whether I should shorten it or leave it this length. What do you guys think? I think the skirt has a real vintage feeling at this length, which I like, but I'm wondering if it would be more "me" in a shorter length. Either way, the pattern was what really drew me to the skirt. It's a colorful floral, and the fabric feels like velvet!

As I had mentioned, I finally did a bit of thrifting. I got a green top (which I wore yesterday, so you'll get to see it soon!), a denim vest which I've been wanting for the LONGEST, a denim jacket, and two little decorative dishes with painted scenes from San Francisco on them. All in all, I was quite happy with what I found!

  1. I think that length actually looks great! Plus it's always fun to have something a little different in your closet instead of everything being the same. :D

  2. I really like that length! If anything, you can always temporarily hem it with safety pins and then readjust it so you don't need to permanently change it. ♥

    I can't wait to see all your purchases!

  3. the skirt is fantastic, a prized vintage piece. the pattern is amazing. i would like to see it in a shorter length if you just fold them up and put safety pins like JULIA said to see how it'd look, but gorgeous skirt nontheless

  15. Keep the length!
    I remember when i first wore a skirt like that one after always shortening them. I felt awkward at first but then i started feeling all good and grown up or something. I love it just the way it is. i think you look great.
    also.....sweet blouse dude.

  18. oh my gosh, i LOVE this outfit so much. that skirt is gorgeous and i actually think the length is just perfect (i'm always the first person to want to shorten skirts, but it's perfect for your height). and with the pretty white blouse and the woven flats--ah! i love it too much.

    As I was quickly scrolling through your page, I noticed something seemed different. I looked up and I see you now have a mustache in your header. Well done, I'm glad you have joined the blogs with mustaches. lol
