Outfit Post: Mixing Your Seasons

So it's September and the start of the erratic weather in Britain.

One moment it's hot then one moment it's cold! It is till important to dress fro the weather though, but I hear you ask, how can you when you don't know from one moment to the next if it will snow, rain or be as hot as the desert?

The only thing to do is mix and match your winter and summer wardrobes like I have.

Skirt- eBay

Jumper- H&M

Petticoat- eBay

Shoes- Primark

Bag- Primark

Skirts and jumpers are my new favorite thing, if I owned more of them I would wear that combo a lot more often.

 

 

I really liked the colour combination of this outfit, not too bright and not too dull.

It also looks snazzy in black and white ;)

Aren't we romantic?

Beningbrough Hall

WARNING!

 There's not an awful lot of vintage in this post in fact there's almost non at all but still enjoy these pictures.

So on Sunday I ended up at Beningbrough Hall near York.

I was meant to go on Saturday and had this cute little Gingham outfit on but it rained so we changed our plans last minuet (at that explains why I look so drab in these photos).

As with most National Trust properties you sadly can't take photos inside, which is a real shame because they had this great WW1 exhibit on, so there's a lot of pictures of flowers and the outside of building coming up.

 The Victorian Laundry

 Bad photo... sorry

 The walled gardens really made me feel like I was in The Secret Garden

 Me looking an absolute mess, I made up for the outfit with some victory rolls though.

I might add that although you can't tell in this picture the sweater I'm wearing is really cute. It's H&M and only £7. It has a cute little button detail up the sleeves too.

That is all :)

 There were butterflies everywhere

 You also couldn't move without these darned hornets getting in your way.

 The back of the house which looks almost identical to the front.

Dreamboats and Petticoats

There are no dreamboats in this post however there is a petticoat. My very first petticoat!
I've always stayed away from petticoats because 1: I have always liked the natural fall of a swing dress/skirt and 2: I wasn't sure if I'd look stupid in one or not.
It turns out I don't though so I shall be wearing them a lot more often *bank account cries*.

This petticoat wasn't a bank breaker, I went onto my favorite internet shopping sight, yes eBay, and managed to find it for only £10.99 with free p&p!

Here's the outfit I wore it with.

Yes all the photos are in black and white again so I shall tell you the colours.

Red gingham Gypsy top (Primark years ago) and a vintage blue gingham circle skirt.

Also my pin curls turned out particularly well that day, I was rather pleased with myself.

Till next time folks,

Beamish Open Air Museum
