My weekend has been spent in petticoats and spectacular stockings. I am such a sucker for unusual leg-wear, I can't pass it up. The husband was kind enough to buy me a pair of vertical stripe stockings, and I wish I could live in them, they are too much fun!
Here is a view of my weekend attire, stockings included of course.
Outfit details include a red 40s suit jacket, 50s black velvet skirt, 50s white petticoat, vertical stripe stockings, and modern shoes with a vintage flair. Everything about my outfit, except the stockings is 100% thrifted. I am such a Frugal Frannie, I love to save money and wear old clothes.
Hope you all had a splendid weekend! Next up, pictures of our new house. We are moving into the 1941 Bungalow this weekend! Huzzah!

Eek! LOVE your outfit, especially the stockings and shoes!!!
You look great! The shoes, the stockings, the petticoats, the jacket...quiet an outfit. Hats off to you, ma'am. [had to delete the last post; it was rife with typos]
Just love those stockings! Totally my kind of thing too. I'm almost looking forward to winter when I can start stocking up for the seasons legwear :-D
They're great! And red is absolutely your color.
Thanks everyone!
Yeah Treacle I admit a large majority of my closet is red.. it just seems to fit me so well :D
You look gorgeous! I admire you and your blog is a great inspiration for me. Best regards from Poland! :)
absolutely love them and they suit you so well!!
fantastic outfit <3
You do red so well! The stockings are cute but it's the announcement that you are moving into the Bungalow (with the built-ins) that has me truly excited! Bon Chance, you guys!
Absolutely fabulous!!! Those shoes are to die for, according to this high-heels-vintage-style-shoe-freak! :)
LOVING the outfit - and those stockings are utterly fabulous. I want a pair - I'm off to hunt for my own! xx
Oh super cute! You just gave me a great idea- I also happen to have a velvety vintage [looking] black skirt, and I love to layer... I'll def be looking into getting a petticoat. And I totally love any kind of "unusual legwear" too :D
totally bought myself a pair of vertical stripe tights! (and I also just linked to you from my blog Tuppence Ha'penny)
Those shoes! That hair!
