Warm spring outfit in style of 1950s in the spirit of the 1930s with real vintage fitted jacket & sheath skirt

By -


I love green, to say the least. This color goes well with my green eyes, calms me down and I associate with fresh spring greenery. But, unfortunately, in my wardrobe there are not so many things of this color. And until the end of last year, I generally had a dominance of black clothes, which weighed me down a lot. Black jackets, black skirts, black pullovers, black hats, black dresses, black gloves, black shoes...




Black is good, but always in combination with another color. It shouldn't be in excess.


I believe that no matter what time of the year it is on the street - spring, summer, autumn or winter, you always need to be able to be bright. Although some people for some reason believe that in the cool season you need to dress in dark colors. But for what? There are already few bright colors on the street!

Of course, the midi skirt of my present outfit is good, although it is black. But it looks better accompanied by my favorite - a green tint of the jacket. In addition, the black buttons of the jacket match perfectly with skirt. The combination of green and black is a bit in the spirit of the American designer of the 1960s Chester Weinberg (like a suit from his autumn 1966 collection).





I loved this jacket, when I saw it in a vintage store. I knew it had to be mine. It could be said, I've been looking for it all my life. Because it is the true epitome of vintage fashion. Made impeccably, must have been sewn in an expensive studio. Its buttons alone are a work of art made by hand.




I am not a fan of trilby hats, but when I saw this green trilby for sale in secondhand, I could not resist, because the green color works wonders. Although I will not hide that any bright and not black color would do the same!




And I literally fished out this wonderful green fur also presented in this my outfit. I saved it from a pile of rubbish, and it cost me a ridiculous price.





This outfit is good for a little bit cool spring with jacket and fur around neck, for warm spring with jacket and fur around collar, for very warm without them both or with fur like decorative element only.








I am wearing:
  • Real vintage green pure wool long sleeve fitted jacket with big black buttons, about 1950s
  • Green rayon/cotton blend long sleeve turtleneck sweater, about 1990s-2000s
  • Real vintage black pure wool midi high waist sheath skirt by “Coordinats Anaïs Barcelona”, made in Spain, about 1950s
  • Green wool felt trilby hat with black belt décor by “Seeberger”, made in Germany about 2000-2010s
  • Green rabbit fur neckpiece, about 2000s-2010s
  • Black leather bag with big silver colored chain, made in Italy, about 1990s-2010s
  • Light beige nylon tights, about 2010s-2020s
  • Leather black slip on shoes with mid-high heels, made in Spain, 2010s-2020s



I think that I got look a little 1930s (straight fitted silhouette, men hat, furs...) or 1950s (after all, a narrow sheath skirt is more typical of the "New Look" style) in the style of the 1930s.



After all, fashion is cyclical and someone in the 1950s could well dress in the spirit of 20 years ago. I remember that in one of the issues of "The Australian Women's Weekly" of the late 1940s, I saw a dress in the spirit of the 1920s, certainly more like the late 1940s only stylized as the 1920s.



I pair 1950s in style of 1930s with à la Grace Kelly nude make-up that breaks stereotypes of the bright red lipstick allegedly only popular at the time.

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...
