I wore an entirely new outfit. With the exception of the shoes, which I had worn once before, everything else was on its first outing.
Earrings. Vintage.Top. Vintage.
Skirt. Marc by Marc Jacobs.
Shoes. New Look.
I'm rocking vintage gypsy chic. I really love these earrings. They're vintage 80s deadstock. I actually have a post lined up that features them a bit more heavily so I won't go on about them now.
Of course, I was chuffed to bits at being able to wear my skirt. I love it so much. The pleats are just sensational and the fabric feels wonderful. It has such a great weight to it.
Now, if you follow me on Instagram (and if you don't, why not? @Beckybedbug. Hit me up!), you will know I'm a little obsessed. I pretty much documented my entire day. Here are my favourites.

Blue Purple Tilt was my absolute favourite piece of the day. These strips have rolling messages on. I sat there for about 50 minutes just watching it. It was so hypnotic and I had no idea how long I was in there for until I looked at my phone as I left. I was trying to watch the whole thing but I didn't know how long it was going to last. The messages were so relevant to me, past and present. I just fell in love.
I love this middle photo. The sun was blinding. I couldn't see what I was taking a photo of so I just pointed, clicked and wished for the best. Then when I got into the dimmer light of the station, I saw that I had perfectly framed this couple hand-in-hand. The way they are silhouetted with the shadows on the ground behind them like that is beautiful. I lucked out!
Is it just me or do these artists' dummies look a little macabre? They look like they've been frozen in some sort of eerie ritualistic dance.

The skirt is very cute and the "blind" photo is beautiful! <3
ReplyDeleteYou look adorable!! that vintage top with your new Marc Jacobs skirt is just perfect. It has such a boho vibe that becomes more modern because of the structure of the skirt. Totally jealous of you for that skirt, btw-- those birds are making my day!
ReplyDeleteI also totally understand-- and share!-- your art-obsession. I also *very* nearly went to art school, too! I didn't expect to get into any of the grad schools I applied to (which wasn't very many), so I had an art school app all completed and almost ready to mail. I at first kind of regretted not going, but now I realize that you don't need art school to do art, or to sell it. :) You should keep at it! I'd love to see your art.

Completely jealous of your visit to the Tate Mod (you know my feelings about this place)!! Jenny Holzer is a fav of mine...she is amazingly clever. Have you heard of Barbara Kruger? You might like her, she is in a similar vein to Holzer. Art school was amazing for me, but more for the experiences and the brilliant creative people I met rather than what I learned there, but you can be an art nerd without an art degree!

You look stunning! I think vintage-gypsy is the perfect way to describe your look. :)
ReplyDeleteYour photo quality is so good! Glad you had a nice time in London because your outfit is really pretty! Very vintage, very quirky. Quite vintage sailor if I do say so. And like someone else commented above vintage-gypsy too! Red and blue together always looks stylish!
