A new bargain buy from Claires. £7!
I visited my Granddad today, and my mum wanted to look in a box of which my Grandma collected things in before she sadly passed away a few years ago. Inside the box were things from old Stockings to a World War 1 Army uniform. My Grandma loved exploring, especially in Canada, one of her favourite places of all. I also found a small broken bag of sunglasses inside their very old cases. They included vintage Wayfarers to broken-in-half glasses with no lenses. But, there was one case which caught my eye. Inside, were a pair of American ‘Polaroid’ Cat Eye Sunglasses, which were owned by my mum’s Grandma. The pair are a bit wonky, and they are fading in colour, but I reckon, still very fashionable; especially with the latest trends of Cat Eyes.
When I was looking in the box, it reminded me of a good book which I have on my stack of Fashion Books, ‘Dreaming of Dior’ by Charlotte Smith; which I do recommend. It is full of tales of fashion-istas in their troubles and joys etc.
Polaroid Cat Eye Sunglasses, found in Tolly Dolly Posh's Grandma's Treasure Box!
Here are 3 of my favourite Maxi Skirts out this spring, and they are all under £40! Take a look….
Long Skirt with Splits £39.99 (ZARA), Double Side Split Maxi Skirt £37.00 (Miss Selfridge), Shirred Midi Skirt £22.99 (New Look)
The best way to work long skirts are blouses, shoulder bags, and heels/pumps. Here’s a few outfit’s I’ve put together using these skirts…
Skirt from ZARA, Cream Tie Front Blouse £16.99 (New Look), Espadrille Wedge Heel £24.99 (New Look), Cat Eye Sunglasses £17.99 (MANGO).
The Tie Front Blouse gives this look a bit more edge, along with the glasses, which give it a Vintage vibe! Add some stud earrings and you’ll look extra cute.
Skirt from Miss Selfridge, Petite Vest with Asymmetric Hem £20.00 (ASOS), Squiggle Heart Stud Earrings £4.00 (ASOS)
This skirt is quite hard to work, but it is easy when you put your mind to it! Add layers, to create a fuller look, or Asymmetric tops, which work as well. Keep colour coordinated, and pick strong colours, or try colour blocking! Add a pair of ballet pumps, and a clutch, and a snazzy pair of sunglasses, and you’re set for the sun!
Skirt from New Look, Blouse £12.99 (H&M), Bag £7.99 (H&M), Boots £29.99.
This skirt can be worked so easily. Don’t be afraid to wear ankle boots, when the skirt is a little bit shorter than a Maxi. Also, these boots & bag look great together, and they just add that special something! Tuck in the shirt with a skinny belt, and add some gold drop earrings to really stand out!
Lots of Love,
