Plaid Wool Snapshots

Today I wore a lovely pleated wool skirt from the 50s that I got a while back at Hubba Hubba. I have an issue with wearing things right when I first get them... it takes me forever to wear anything I buy! Anyway, I wore this outfit to grab lunch with my boyfriend and visit the flea market...
Worn with an American Apparel henley, vintage Whiting and Davis clutch, Nina Ricci pumps, Karen Walker sunglasses, and my dad's Gap belt.

Absolutely adore the way you're wearing the belt!

Sara said...

It's like Mad Men with a twist! Pairing a vintage skirt with a henley is very unexpected, but you've done a great job making this combination look perfectly wearable. Hope you had lots of luck at the flea market.

missmarc said...

I love the length and fullness of the skirt. I happen to have the opposite problem when I buy things...I want to wear them right away!

I love that skirt. I think my favorite part is the green in it. It's cut really well, and it's so feminine.

I like how your outfit is simple yet elegant. You're lucky you can wear long skirts like that. (I wish I could wear them but at 5'3 they make me look way shorter than I already am!) They look lovely on you though. :)

ha! I have a problem with wearing things when I first get them too...for me it has something to do with waiting for something "special" or the right occasion...though i am slowly breaking from that! lovely outfit of course :)

I really really love Hubba Hubba, but the owner of the store really puts me off from visiting often... She knows her vintage, but she tends to make customers feel so awkward and uncomfortable!

I love this look, this skirt lenght is one I wear a lot myself, I love how you stop it looking too prim by pairing it with the sexy stiletto heels xx

Siblings said...

i LOVE LOVE LUUUUUUUUURRRRVE your skirt! WOOOO~

home said...

The necklace you're wearing doesn't suits well on the outfit, a shorter necklace would have been better. I guess you're going to start an own jewerly line, as you wear jewerly more often.
And how the hell can you carry a small purse/bag while shopping? I wish I could do that, I always take carry a big bag with all kind of useless crap in it.

Don't u sometimes get tired of the huge amount of clothes u have? I do. Sometimes I wish I just had the basic things only, but then sometimes I think ... Woow, I love all my clothes. Hahah, girls are weird I know.

Lovely outfit. Classic!!

La Petite Anglaise said...

As usual, everything about this look is sartorial perfection. I am obsessed with plaid atm so that skirt is right on the money, but it is the attention to detail - such as that adorable knotted belt - that really makes your style stand out.

Also, what camera do you use? I am thinking of investing in a better one and your images always look amazing. X

I understand where you're coming from regarding wearing new things -- I seem to do that too. Almost as if having an item hang in my closet for a long time before wearing it makes it seem more familiar and more... me. Who knows!?

Hi Karla! Fisrt of all I have to say that 3 weeks ago my hairdresser almost shaved my head and I stopped cry when I saw your pics because you are so beautiful and feminine with short hair that it helps me and I stopped crying!
I discovered your blog two days ago by a link on fashiontoast wich I'm totally addicted to.
A little bit earlier I knew theglamourai, Kelly Framel and you'll think that I'm a very curious person but why isn't she on your daily reads? I mean are you some kind of ennemies or something like that? Because you are both colossal bloggers with great style, a coach collaboration and virgo! A lot of points in common, no?

Please exsuse my english! I live in Belgium, french side!
