A preppy vintage outfit for a summer’s day

18 June 2015

This blog post contains some gifted items.

I’m feeling pretty nerdy in this vintage outfit, and really wishing I could go back in time to college, just for a couple of days – being able to spend every day with my friends, making art and hanging out really was the best. It’s not even the summer holidays yet, and I’m already feeling back-to-school vibes!

It was quite a warm day yesterday, but overcast, so this outfit was just right – the cosy corduroy skirt wasn’t too warm, and neither was the half-sleeve t-shirt.

Whenever I wear this cute striped top that I found on ASOS, I instantly feel retro. Especially when paired with one of my favourite vintage skirts ever – this moss green corduroy number that I found in a charity shop many moons ago.

I’ve actually had a bit of luck in some Devon charity shops lately, and I’m hoping to share what I found pretty soon…

But, hey, what I really want to know is this – would you let me sit with you if we went to college together?
