Last week was my birthday and with so much going on I haven’t found time to post about the the outfits I wore.
This is what I wore to see Liberty London Girl talk at Bath in Fashion, just one of my birthday treats. The dress and jacket are both from Rokit Vintage and the shoes Dream in Green.
I some how managed to stretch out my birthday celebrations and treats for at least a week (pretty good this year, I usually try for a month!). On the Sunday before I wore this to the Bath in Fashion Vintage Fair both the vintage dress and belt were from a clothes swap, the bags was from Oxfam Fashion and the shoes are El Naturalista.
As usual I got mostly money for my birthday so felt compelled to treat myself by buying a few new clothes. Obviously I really don’t need anything new but even though I didn’t really do well on the ‘buy less’ front, I am hoping I may have made up for it on the ‘choose well’ and ‘make it last’ front. The clothes that I bought were all by ethical and sustainable brands and also very carefully considered and chosen as items that would last me ages and compliment my existing wardrobe.
I have been after a pair of printed trousers for some time and when I saw these Nancy Dee trousers it was definitely love at first sight. When Think Boutique did a 20% discount on Earth Day, I grabbed the opportunity and ordered them up straight away. The jacket is from Rokit Vintage as before and shoes by Melissa. The other clothes i have bought will I am sure be featured in outfits soon!
Here are just few instagrams from my birthday week

I love the outfit with the blue dress and red accents! How fun. Also, in front of my door is where I have to take outfit photos as well… it’s the only place in my house that doesn’t have anything on the walls! 🙂

What a great birthday you had! I WISH I could have been around to go to the LLG talk and all the other great events at Bath Fashion Week…that even just gets better and better! I think my fave outfit has to be the one you wore to the vintage fair, the colours so pretty and the shape is perfect! x
