You can't tell by my face in the picture above, but this morning was a desperate morning.
I woke up.... a bit later than I should have..... (how does college sap all of one's energy all the time?!)..... and I had about twenty minutes to get ready. Here was my thought process:
Deep Breath.
*Easy shirt.... A sweater, 'cuz no layering is needed.
*Easy bottoms... High waisted pencil skirt, for an automatically more vintage look.
*Comfy shoes, 'cuz I'll be rushing to class.... check.
*Accessory to add some texture variety..... cutesy heart necklace, definitely.
*Now for hair...... I need something I can stuff most of it into, because I have no time for curling or a bunch of victory rolls... I borrowed a hat from my suitemate, did a little pin curl in the front, and BAM! Ready for class. SUCCESS!
Alright, so that picture is a little frightening. Let's try some other ones:
shoes: thrifted
socks: gift
necklace: vintage 1980s from my mother!
sweater: F21
hat: borrowed (great thing about dorm life)
skirt: handmade
I did wonder if this kind of hat is even slightly vintage, so I did some research.
The answer is..... Yes, I think it can work!
It's basically a stocking cap, so I don't see why not! It's not perfectly 40s looking, but it works in a pinch.
What do you think?
*Just so you know, if you disagree, it won't hurt my feelings. I like knowing your opinions. :)*
This outfit is adorable! Great for the cooler weather - something I'm rather struggling with myself at the moment. Good thinking there with the hat..!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much! We just had another bout of snow, and it's just ridiculous. More cold weather outfits, coming up!
DeleteIt looks darling--and much more put together than most of my I-have-20-minutes-to-class-go! outfits. Definitely an inspiration for the next time I take the alarm as a mild suggestion instead of a blunt reminder to wake up. :)
ReplyDeleteMild suggestion, hahahahaha! That's a great description. And entirely accurate.
DeleteWow! The look is so great and in 20 minutes! The ankle socks and shoes are adorable, but so practical for "non-stiletto" weather. Nice!
ReplyDeleteI really love the sweater and the whole outfit is cute. I might try the hat idea for a bad hair day as I seem to have plenty of them!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like it! And yes, I totally recommend the hat solution!
