As much as I love my vintage frocks, I do still love some good op shop goodies, too. These shorts were part of a shirt 'n' shorts set and I cut up the shirt to make a collar; I have it somewhere and, after "resting" it in my wardrobe for 18 months or so (I didn't have the right jumper! And now I do) will probably wear it fairly soon.
I must admit, cutting up a silk summery top seems like madness to me now, but I would only do that if it wasn't right for me as it was, and it was really ugly from memory. Let's hold onto that memory. I'm starting to wonder if it was actually awesome. No. It was not awesome.
But where was I? Right. These polka dot silk shorts are nice and swooshy and are almost, I believe, a skort, and are great for bike riding on hot days. I shortened them a little when I got them but they are still a long way from short shorts and don't reveal too much leg. I like them with this blue blouse, which is another op shop find. This blouse will get a good few wears this summer. And pale blue and red... a favourite combination!

How lovely! The combination of pale blue and red is indeed wonderful on you, but I've tried it a few times for myself and it just doesn't seem quite right... Perhaps I've had the wrong shade of blue. You look beautiful as always! xxx
Wow this is so pretty! I love the red shoes with the red lip contrasting against the pale colours! Sooooo beautiful!
Precious!
I love this look.
I want some socks about the same color with lace. :)

I have infinite jealousy over your Joanne Mercer wedges. Everytime I go in there, I think of you and your cute red shoes.
I love everything about it! I also love your new photo spot :)

Pale blue and red is always a winner in my books! And it looks great with those shorts, too. Sometimes nothing beats a good op-shop find. :D

Those shoes are quite fab !
Lovely outfit and colour scheme. That blouse was horrid, it must have been or you wouldn't have considered up-cycling it!
Love the shorts! Perfect for a summer adventure.
Very cute. I am always cutting things up to make something else...it just makes sense to make the most of it if you have paid for it.
Gorgeous colours! You look perfect against the green backdrop, just beautiful.
This is perfection.
Oooooh!! Purty!!
adorable shorts and perfect shoes
You're super pretty and I'm jealous of the wonderful lighting in your home!
So pretty! x
Love the outfit, so perfect for the summer. Love the pairing of ankle socks, I am so fearful; of wearing them so that I don't look like a little girl, but you look great in them.
i love your sense of combining colours, fabrics and pattern! :)
