What were you wearing 2day?

SNEAKPEAK:
- THIS IS WHAT I LOVE! Today I went vintage shopping in Brooklyn, for my webshop ELEGANTLY WAISTED, and I found quite a few awesome pieces:

Full cream long pleated skirt (in the background), a yellow silk and cotton dress-with white croquet, a bright printed flower pants-skirt, a short metallic skirt, a nude and silver lace skirt, a full tutu inspired silk and lace skirt and a really fun beaded bag. Also picked up a few jewelry bits and a pair of cool sunnies. This will be available online very soon!

THIS SPRING
This month in COSTUME I show you my take on the 40s feminine trend with the mix of patterns, prints and colours.
-Beautiful Siri C/Mikas showing off the 40s ladylike look, with a printed blouse from By Malene Birger, and a mustard coloured skirt from Monki. The belt is vintage and from Cape Town, available on request from Eleganty Waisted-

-My tips on how to get this look, mix different patterns and colours, and look to the spring collections from Prada, Proenza Schouler and D&G to get inspiration. Go for slick but still laidback hair, and fresh natural makeup-

HOW TO WEAR IT
Team the denimshorts with a crisp white shirt to make it more casual. Ad a bikini top underneath for instant cool. Then mix with some ladylike slingbacks to make the outfit more chic. Go totally lux with the lizard handbag, but don’t forget to make some contrast with some cool must have plexi sunnies!

I love when you can mix good old vintage (In this editorial the white blouse is VINTAGE JAEGER from Elegantly Waisted) with designer luxury, cool labels and high street to create the perfect look. White on white is huge this summer-but to pull it off, can be quite tricky. If you go for layering and mixing different fabrics, textures and shapes, you create an unique and interesting look. And keep the shoes cool and funky- and the bag simple and small, that makes the whole difference.
