I don't know if you've noticed but I'm attempting to channel a bit of a Sixties vibe here, could you tell? I know I'm not the only one a bit obsessed with the Sixties, and like the majority of fashion bloggers I'm totally crushing on Annie Monroe at the moment and the rest of The Like for that matter (did anyone else see them on 90210 this week?).

This skirt is another Charity Shop Treasure and although it's much too small for me, I really like this look so I'm looking for something similar in a size I can breath in. The T-Shirt is an old eBay find.
Another Primark miracle, I've been looking for some comfortable tan loafers for a while now and I refuse to pay £60 for a pair of shoes that I'll probably wear so often they'll be in pieces by the end of the Summer.
~ Outfit Details ~
Printed T-Shirt - H&M (Via eBay) - £1
Vintage Check Pencil Skirt - Thrifted - £2.50
Skinny Tan Belt - Primark - £1
Vintage Navy Satchel - Thrifted - £2
Tan Loafers - Primark - £8
Jewellery - Miss Selfridge
Total Outfit Cost - £14.50
I hope you're all having a lovely start to the weekend. I've had a very productive evening cleaning the house (in true Rock n' Roll style), but I'm saving myself for the rest of the weekend which includes; taking my parents for lunch tomorrow for my Dad's Birthday, then (the best bit) I'll mosey on over to Derbys Vintage Fair, before attempting to make it to a craft fair my Mum has a jewellery stall at. Sunday will be much less rushing around and a lot more listing on eBay, and possibly a bit of decorating.
I wanted to thank everyone for all their advice on my photo editing software prediciment. I decided to go with the majority and give Picnik I try, and I can't believe I didn't do it sooner, its so quick and simple. Thanks Guys.

Gorgeous outfit Victoria, although the skirt might feel small it looks the business and the chunky cocktail ring sets it all off so perfectly :-) I'd have been popping along to the Derby vintage fair myself but I'm accompanying the fella to Heathrow instead as he's away for 3 weeks. No vintage and no Valentine's soppiness - not a winner :-P
Jem xXx

Amazing look dear! You look stunning! <3
You look fab! I really like The Like's styling! xx

Gotta admite I'm style crushing The Like recently too, tennessee is my favourite, she dresses impecably if you ask me
Love your outfit, your skirt is so lovely, the proportions are just stunning.

I have to agree Picnik is a great software. Also try GIMP if you want something a big more advance. Im seriously in love with the Like. They are too pretty.
Your outfit is so cute I love the 60's-ish lady skirt with the t-shirt definitely a good combo =) byw your bangs are so awesome I love them =)
Your hair is amazing! I can totally see where you're coming from with the 60's :)) lovely!

So very pretty
I love the little flick of your hair
Hope you have a great weekend
So beautifully 60s! I like your hair. Can't believe your whole outfit cost you so little too!

That skirt is incredible! x
I've been dying for some moccasin flats like those! They are just too adorable. You look so cute- I love your high waisted maxi skirt. I haven't been brave enough to wear a maxi skirt yet...but I'm slowly warming to the idea:)
This is so fun! Love it :D

Well the skirt doesn't look small, it looks amazing! I have a similar one (minus the buttons) but it's a tricky length on me as I'm so short so I don't know whether to hack it a bit shorter or just put up with it.
Oh you look so pretty! I take it you went for the full fringe then? Yay it really suits you :) And the vintage fair sounds awesome, I hope you have a lovely day. And yes Picnick is good for editing, or if you have a mac I always use iPhoto too!
Also, I've given you a stylish blogger award over on my blog :) However, I completely understand if it's something you don't want to do, or doesn't fit in with your blog, I just chose you because I really enjoy your blog and I think your outfits are always fab :) x

Thanks for your lovely comment! It's a real compliment when someone tells me I look 60s haha.

Long time reader, first time commenter, but I love this outfit! The skirt looks great too, so sixties, and I'm jealous of your hair xx
Thanks for the sweet comment on my blog. I love your style, so count me as one of your new followers!
I love the sixties, especially the hair and makeup x
Definite 60s vibe and love the skirt! I can't believe you scored such deals!
Hope you had a great weekend! I also refuse to pay the hiked up prices on Monday. We figure we'll be spending a lot when we go to NYC and Mexico anyway!
Thank you for your lovely comment. Before even reading your post I instantly thought Sixties when I saw your outfit. I love it and I think the skirt is amazing on you, I can never pull off long skirts with flat shoes. Speaking of which your loafers are replicas of the Topshop ones I shelled out for last year! Now following & have my eye on one of your Ebay items x
I love the ring
and pretty 60's look!

Thank you for your lovely comment on my blog just earlier (teaots and time travek)and I can't believe we have the same coat you're wearing a few posts down, considering we both thrifted it! I got mine from a charity shop in Lincolnshire. I'm following you now, I really like your blog.x
Great blog and that's a gorgeous outfit, I love your loafers x
Okay. so firstly, thank you for visiting my humble blog!
Secondly, your so beautiful!
I love the whole sixties vibe your digging, you look amazing, really!
I'm lustin' after your haircut, I love it!
Oh, and also about your blog, I love, love, love it!
You have a new reader!
I'll check out your ebay shop asap!
I wish I could go to a good old Vintage and crafts market (my Mum loves them, and so do I, I guess the whole crafts things kinda rubbed off on me!)
But there just isn't any good ones! :(
Anyway, thanks again!

I just read your 'About'page and I agree, I'm rather bad at drawing, and like you can draw from a book or copy something, but when it comes to my own imagination...Doom strikes!
That's one thing I worry about if I want to become a designer, but hopefully I'll overcome it! Hehe!
