Hello you,
I hope you are acknowledging today how awesome you are and how far you have come!?
I am so grateful to have you here. Please say hello so that I can say it directly to you.
Today’s post is to share couple of the pieces I found at vintage fare on Saturday ( Judy’s Affordable Vintage Fare ). I was so excited to be there.
I watched and admired men and women with most unique and inspiring style. What a place to be at! What an awesome galaxy we live in… . There were pieces from decades ago. Sellers were telling me stories about clothes, accessories, shoes and more that I was viewing and buying. This gives me chills. I went with an intention on getting a blouse or a shirt and maybe an accessory and I found it all… not just any, obviously, but things that I imagined myself getting before, I visualized ;). I usually have an idea what I am looking for ( I am always getting inspired and taking notes ) and I am open to new ideas. I shop with my body and skin tone as well as practicality in mind. Ticked all those boxes yet again :))
I think I just realized, how good I am at the treasure hunting 😉
Let me show you. You may have seen this inspo on my Instagram page some time ago. (Inspo! means I am not looking to get this very top).
I knew I would get what I was inspired here with though, it was just a matter of time ;). How about this :)))??
What do you think? I love the high neck and buttons at the back, that was what inspired me most. The fabric is different but actually more functional for my day to day life as well as my body shape.
I am so happy. I paired the blouse with these incredible clip earrings from 1960s. I also can’t wait to play around and swap the pieces around with the following combo.
‘… the way the fabric is woven catches the light where the pattern is woven through in a different direction to the main fabric.
The cream/ white one is tailored with a tapering front section and buttoned at the back.
The electric blue floral satin shirt is a baggier style to be worn with a tight-fitting ‘pencil’ skirt. This colour was very popular in the 80s!’
Quote about these beauties by incredible Fran Boyd ( ‘Goodbyenormajean’ on Instagram, and ‘Goodbye, Norma Jean’ on Facebook ). Find her, follow her and get inspired). I love her positive attitude, excitement, awesome style and knowledge about pieces, every single one.
That is all I am sharing with you today.
There will be more outfits with these as well as new pieces. Watch this space and make sure to follow me on Instagram for daily updates.
PS- ‘Key to me style’ is now becoming a hashtag too. I have been on a search for a word of phrase to use whenever I refer to personal style; one that is inspired, driven and attached to a person as opposed to brand, trends, fashion or anything else outside of their soul. Please feel free to use this phrase and tag me or hashtag your posts, any time you get inspired by someone’s unpredictable style or whenever you share your unique style and outfits that you come up with. Have an awesome day.
Love you,
Gosia
Love this!
I agree, the Vintage fairs are such an exciting way to connect with likeminded folks and become inspired! So glad you are enjoying your vintage purchases and styling them up!
Thanks for the mention, hope to see you next time!
Fran 😁x
Thank you Fran. Just like you said, it’s a meeting of likeminded people as much as each of them bringing something absolutely unique to the place, just like you did. Thank you.
Have a lovely day.

love it:) I think there are always styles from past decades which we lose and which may flatter our shapes in ways our current styles don’t, reminder to look back as much as we look forward:)
Thank you Rachel. Hope you are having a great day. Could not say it better ‘Looking back as much as we look forward’ I suppose that is what the balance is about. I love looking back at styles my mom, aunties, grannies wore. I also often drift of in wandering about what did those dresses and outfits used to look (as many I only get to see on white and black pictures). Unbelievably inspiring to be able to see that.
Thank you for your comment.
