floral romper and leather belt, beyond retro. elbow patch cardigan, topshop.
The end of last week saw me channeling the land girls of World War Two. My own adapted version of course, for as much as I'd love to be the owner of some brown dungarees or work trousers, a wooly cardigan with elbow patches had to suffice. I tried my hand at pinning the front sections of my hair back with kirby grips, popped on some red lippie and contemplated changing my name to Nettie, or Dot.
The BBC has scheduled a happy coincidence for my nostalgia in the form of a new 5 part drama unsurprisingly called "Land Girls". The reviews seem to approve, so with luck the mini-series will be able to provide my sartorial tastebuds with more in the way of overalls, welly, and headscarf combos.
(Brits, hit the record button for BBC1 from 5.15 tonight!)

ReplyDeleteI want your romper! :D
ReplyDeletesuch a great look stevie.
ReplyDeletethe cardigan is super.
wish i had bbc so i could watch the program.
maybe i'll just watch lost in austin again on dvd, or some skins.....
That is so spooky I was thinking about land girls looks today - and you've done a fab post!
ReplyDeleteSo cute and so nostalgic!
ReplyDeleteBesos desde Bracelona,
The strong lip is fabulous. I'm mulling over wearing one for the shows. LLGxx
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got the red lippy out...There's a strong trend associated with red lipstick and 'hard times' this economy really has hit people hard... p.s. I can't wait to get my hands on the BBC series!

i love the way you've appropriated the look.. very cool!
ReplyDeleteGreat look...I love that era both fashion wise and the social change that was happening then too! What is that board next to you? Just curious :)
ReplyDeleteI love this dress - great outfit xoxoxo
ReplyDeletei told you! i told you you looked like chloe! & when anonymous commenters say they feel the same - you know it's true!
ReplyDelete& also, not gonna lie, you wearing this little get up in your last video inspired me to dress up quite the same the next day; f&f romper, borrowed deak's wooly grey cardi & added a few extra notches in a thrifted tan belt i never wore cos it was too big & threw on socks + oxfords.
we ended up taking a few snaps, though it might be too much of a copycat thing to post them now, eh?
it just has this lovely englishy autumn feel to it; quite like you were describing about your (fab) new coat.
ALSO just noticed the nylon kneehighs - nice touch!
love as always, xxx
ps, hair is looking bloody fab as well!
ReplyDeleteI ADORE this.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking of putting some elbow patches on an old cardigan of mine that has holes in the elbows now from too much library time.

You look so good! I love the floral romper, and red lipstick looks really pretty on you.
ReplyDeleteAhh! That elbow patch cardigan is actually a diy thing I've wanted to do for ages! It looks so rad!!
ReplyDeleteI love that cardigan! Especially paired with a flower print dress :)
ReplyDeleteI was going to watch this but then completely forgot - I'll have to tune in next week. I love this look as I'm a secret countryside-whore, and dream of gallavanting around in wellies and floral frocks. Deee-lish.
