Cold spring outfit in style of 1960s with a touch of the 1950s

By -


This outfit, like the previous one, can also be worn in autumn, winter, and spring. I wore it on a cold day in early April. But with the same success I could wear it in January. I just managed to get this wonderful very warm and super thick coat during the February sale in a vintage store. And in February and early March it was too warm to walk in it. For most of March, Spain was shaken by natural disasters, such as the Saharian “Calima”, rainstorms, hurricane winds and a monochromatic gray sky atypical for Spain without the sun, so walking, and even more so photo shoots, were impossible.







A cool spring can make many people sad, but not me. I was very happy with the cold weather as it provided the perfect opportunity to take my new coat out for a walk. The amazing 1960s dress finally found a match! Because it is also very warm. I can say that modern coats are noticeably thinner than this dress. So its mini length pays off with interest.




I was so warmed by the warm embrace of my clothes that I was able to take off my outer clothes for a few minutes and pose in only one dress.







The coat looks good both with a belt and without a belt, and unbuttoned, and buttoned up.

I always have problems with choosing a coat, because outerwear that is on sale rarely suits me well.





 I am wearing:

  • Real vintage black-orange-yellow-dark red checkered pure wool coat decorated with large asymmetrical patch pockets by “Ajaton”, Forssa, made in Finland, about 1960s
  • Real vintage orange pure wool mod “Space Age” A-line mini dress with three quarter length sleeves and high neck, late 1960s
  • Artisan astrakhan fur black hat, made in RF, about 2010s
  • Artisan hand-made leather black belt, about 1990s-2000s
  • Patent leather black handbag by “Sandino”, about 1990s
  • Pure wool dark red gloves, about 1990s-2000s
  • Real vintage yellow tights, about late 1960s
  • Leather black slip on shoes with mid-high heels, 2010s-2020s, made in Spain




I probably got the late 1960s with a touch of the 1950s! Since the hairstyle and hat are more suitable for the 1950s, and my appearance is closer to the models of past years, and not to Twiggy!



I thought for a long time what hat to combine with this look. Unfortunately, none of them fit, because most of my hats are only suitable for warmer weather. And in warm weather, this coat is too hot to wear.




But still, I think that this look turned out to be interesting, original and, most importantly, bright and cheerful, even despite the presence of black accessories!

Warm spring outfit in style of early "New Look" with felt saucer hat with felted flowers

This outfit is suitable for cool, but not cold autumn, warm winter and warm spring. After receiving this wonderful hat from the Polish hat maker Sylwia Leśniewska from Wroclaw, I almost immediately arranged this photo session. Although it was December, it was warm during the day, but in the late afternoon, an icy wind blew from the mountains and, as always, my head froze. Unfortunately, my head is very sensitive to the wind, and all my favorite hats, those that are the most beautiful, do not cover ears that are very sensitive to cold. But in any case, the replica hat turned out to be very beautiful and, unlike the original, which was for summer, it can still be worn in the cooler season. I really like felted flowers, felted to woolen hats and looking like real ones, they are much better than those that are now commonly made from synthetic fabrics and glued to hats.  Firstly, woolen flowers are more environmentally friendly.  Secondly, more beautiful.  Thirdly, more unusua...

Interview with the Polish milliner lady - Sylwia Leśniewska from Wroclaw

In the modern world, the so-called "fast fashion" rules everywhere. This is when the market depends on the constant purchase of new things, used once or twice, thrown away and bought again ... and so on ad infinitum. Of course, the reason for this lies in the fact that modern things, as a rule, are of very low quality, regardless of whether they are mass market or not. This rule applies to all modern things from cars to clothes. Indeed, contemporary clothing is rarely designed to be worn or used for long periods of time. It breaks down almost immediately! This is one of the reasons why I am in love with vintage and antique things. Quality and durability mean everything to me. I like that once upon a time things used to serve not only for decades, but also for centuries, being passed down from generation to generation. But at this time, I want to talk about hats and millinery itself (craft of making hats). Because it often happens that there are no suitable hats for me: the ri...

Warm spring outfit in style of early 1960s with real vintage jacket by “Amaryllis”

Since the weather in Spain has once again changed (I've lost its count!) between the extremes, from heat and sun to cold, rain and wind, I continue to share with you my looks from previous photo shoots. This outfit will be very good for a warm, but not very hot and not very cold spring. Or for a cool autumn. Or a warm winter. But when I posed for these photos, it was the end of March, it was cold and overcast. So the outfit was not exactly weather-appropriate, but more because of the hat, not other parts of dress. Fearing the rain, I took a vintage umbrella with me, which I think added a twist to the look. I like the contrast of narrow bottom and loose top. This jacket is just amazing.  I tried to find out something about the brand that produced it, but, unfortunately, there is little information in Internet. Probably partly because the name “Amaryllis” denotes a flower variety, which makes it difficult to find.  Label of my jacket by “Amaryllis” But rue du Faubourg Saint-Hono...
