You've seen this dress in a drawing already. 
I like it with big skirts; lots of fabric.
And pockets make any dress a little bit more perfect.
My bangle is vintage from Ansa from way back.
And my hair pins are my mother's old.
She had them as a kid in the US in the early 60's.
Ok bye!
I know I said I was going to give you pictures of the bayou i.e. from the Louisiana part of our trip but my computer has somehow strangely eternally erased some of them (without even asking me first, hmpf!) so here's a picture of me in capri pants instead.
(I ran two softwares to try and fin the missing 50-something ones and the formatted memory card found 21 of them but the rest remain strangely swallowed by the bits and bytes of my computer, it's all very what the fucketi-fuck and highly annoying.)
Some of you followed the capri discussion on my Facebook page; I overcame my fear of buying trousers online and ordered these baby blue ones. And when they arrived I was all "oh, they're kind of…hot" (in a disappointed tone) when what I was actually after was not skin tight but rather a bit more casual and nerdier pants. I can't even wear these with normal underwear as it will show trough but have to go get some of those t-shirt bra goes panties versions. Well what was I expecting ordering bengaline pants from Pinup Girls clothing, duh, of coures they'de be sassy! But they are kind of nice, or even great after all; I love the colour! And they feel pretty good on. Plus these will even make me slim down HAHA since I have to suck in that post-pregnancy-belly-which-would-be-OK-were-I-actually-post-pregnant-and-not-just-squichier-than-before belly of mine in order not to give too many associations to baby blue sausage. And I pose in a favorable angle.
Hello there! This is me last week in the Swedish town of Gränna, home of the striped pepper mint candy cane, polkagris!
Translated that would be 'polka pig'.
The dress is vintage (my grandmothers; found at the other summer cottage some years ago) and the headband is by Dolly Cool.But what you really want to now is that that bag in my hand right there is FULL OF CANDY.
In a few weeks the evenings will slowly darken, but now the light is still very very strong very late, too strong to keep your eyes open in front of. And all the jasmin flowers in the garden smell sweet too.
My shorts are from Vivien of Holloway, the top is plain H&M.
Me and Ina in her new flat last week on our way for some Tiki drinks.
We forced Eddi to take some outfit pictures for us. But he's kind of used to (and willing) to do those kinds of things by now.
I'm wearing a new dress that I got from Trashy Diva. But for this occasion I temporary altered the neckline a little bit, but tying matching velvet ribbons from the arm hole to the bust and hiding the knots on the inside. It's a very easy way of variation or even to spice a basic top or tee up (click) , as some of you may remember me writing about many years ago. And as this is an outfit post I would like to add that Inas top is form Vivien of Holloway and her skirt is vintage. There you go!
Now, the thing is -
-that if you have a dress full of liquor brands it totally alright, almost a must-do, to walk around the house with a martini, to have a drink or two on a random Tuesday evening. Or Wednesday. 
No drink stays safe for long in this house. (But don't worry, I took her away from the glass pretty quickly. No tipsy kitties in this house!)
I like to dress up inspired by past decades although I seldom try to re create an exact look or strive for true authenticity as, well, that was then and this is now. Basically I always say that you can create any look you want pretty much regardless of what you wear as it is all in the details. You know you can really change the feel of a dress with just a change in the shade of lipstick or your look depending how you wear your hair.
Going a bit 30's in New Orleans. (It was so hot there I used the fan until it broke...)
And something more of the early 60's in Key West.
The dress is from Trasy Diva; bought it on the trip. (It was in the bag in this photo :)
Outfit post! In Breaux Bridge, Louisiana.
I thought shorts would be casual and sort of practical but tomorrow I'm not wearing anything that fastens in the waist, too sweaty!
Eddi ask me weather I was going to lable this post "stripes and dots" Damn! Because, that's of course what I had in mind, or, tp be prices, Striped and dots and Red. He thought he had started to learn but I considered myself predictable. Not that predictable is necessarily bad, but well, you know.
Sometimes I don't know how the fuck to pose for outfit photos without feeling, well, too 'posey'.
Maybe I should just go for "Hi! this is me in red (and stripes and dots)."
I sometimes get these ideas about an outfit that I just have to try out, and sometimes it can take months before I actually do so. In this cas I noticed the outcome was not perfect as the skirt and jacket differ a lot in texture. But then again red is always rend ad people just do not wear enough red. I guess.
When I was small the most amazing this I could think of was dotted tights. I never had any. Or, perhaps I did have a pair in white with white dots. But I was always thinking of dotted ones like this.
Isn't it great to be grown up and actually be able to get the things you wanted as a kid? Even better if you still want them, of course. (I gave up that whole "when I group I want to be a princess"-answer long time ago as I realized there were no suitable monarchs in my taste out there.)
But anyway, wait and see, there are even more polka dots to this one.
Yeah.
…should I have gone for "I See Red" up there? Hmmm.
The jacket and bag is vintage, skirt Vivien of Holloway, the shoes form Tallinn, tights from Accessorize and the hat is a big black clip-on bow.
