(etsy) SCOOTER SKIRTS! Which, are basically skorts (shorts under a skirt, all built in) but really lovely and 60's. And are perfect for... you guessed it- riding on a scooter without flashing your knickers!
(etsy) KNITTED VESTS! Granny square ones are my favourite but any kind of vintage vest is perfect in my eyes. Really lovely for layers and making any outfit a little bit more special.
Those two things have been favourite practical-and-beautiful items in my mind for a long time. One of them, I'm going to rework and have in my shop later this year. [: But in the meantime... I thought you might like to share the inspiration. Hope you're having a good Tuesday! kxo
I am having a good tuesday thanks ;P I'm so glad I've found your blog - it has boosted my mood no end.
But anyway, I love both of the trends that you are 'bringing back' so to speak. We used to have to wear skorts (although we called them kulots (sp?) ) back at brownies and I used to really like them. Although thoughs are way way prettier :) And also, if Icould get hold of them then it might give me more incentive to ride a bike more often! So you might want to look to your pattern stash or I might just try and steal it :P
And also, I've been meaning to crochet myself a granny square cardi for ages - i think they are so cool. Thanks for reminding me to put that back on my to do list.
Sorry for the extra long post!

Good idea, Kim! How do you feel about the knee socks?

go scooter shirts! I am a fan of skorts through and through. In fact I am sad that I no longer own any that fit me :/
I'd love a tute if you're going to be making your own :)
I will be bringing back the fanny pack I think ;)
Have a wonderful weekend kim!

We call them skorts. And I used to wear them all of the time around the 3rd grade! I've been hunting for some vintage shorts patterns. but all of the ones I'm finding are too tiny. So, I think this Summer's project will be to figure out how to alter patterns for my own body. You'll have to share if you do something similar! :) xo
