Weddings and dresses

On Saturday my brother finally got married. I really liked the dress his bride is wearing, suited her really well. Such a lovely couple!

I finally got to wear the dress I've been working on pretty much all summer...

By the end of the day those shoes were absolutely killing me, I ended up walking barefoot back to the car.

Today I'm working hard on keeping my spirits up, as I'll be going back to work tomorrow...Wish me luck!

Wedding no. 2

Last Saturday one of my close friends got married.

My outfit looked like this; all second hand or self made.

The jacket is part of a 50's set (dress + matching jacket) that I found in a charity shop in Pori.

The hat is the same base that what I wore to the previous wedding, only with a white "cover" with little roses and some turtle doves which aren't very visible in the picture but anyway.

I really liked the cake topper, it's very 50's I think, and I'd like to wear something similar in style if/when I get married...

Wedding no. 1

On Saturday my cousin got married.

My outfit;

Shoes are from Mallorca, skirt and hat I made and the rest is second hand.

Here's a closer view of the hat.

I got quite a few compliments from my relatives, such as "you look like you come from an old movie" and someone even called me Evita! This was probably the first time I went this retro among people who know me, and as the response was so positive I now feel a bit more relaxed about wearing vintage in public. Phew. I'm out of the closet!
