Outfit of the Other Day - Farmer's Daughter

With summer coming to an end, I have been spending as much time outside as I possibly can. Whenever I go and stay with the family up north, I really enjoy letting the fresh air get right into my lungs. It makes a refreshing change from London life, the hustle and bustle - the to-ing and fro-ing. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't live anywhere else, but it is nice to escape sometimes - see the farm, get a bit muddy and go on long walks with Sprout the dog.

Sprout had a complete funny five minutes round the field during this shot hence the giggle!

Clothes

Crochet Vest: Kindly made by my most adorable Gran all the way down in Devon.

Vintage Skirt: Green suede from the 1960's - stolen from my Mother's wardrobe.

Wellies: Traditional Hunter (Yup still my Dad's!)

Jewellery

Necklace: A mixture of beads and stones - given as a gift so I'm not sure how much or where from...

Earrings: Found in my bottom drawer back at my parents place. Treasures - you never know where they may crop up!

Make-up

Nothing too fancy with the make-up, or the hair for that matter. In fact, I don't think it's even been brushed, just put one side up with a bobby pin. Products used:

As you can see, in terms of the outfit, it cost me nothing. Well, next to nothing (I did buy my own underwear!) It goes to show that a rummage round here and there, you can have yourself, well, dressed at the very least!

So that my darlings, is all for today. I really hope you've liked some of what you've seen. If you have, perhaps think about doing one of the following...

Outfit of the Other Day (Vintage)

It is so lovely being in the English countryside during harvest. I don't think anything in the world can compare to it. Luckily enough, this year I managed to get out of London and visit the family at exactly the right time. In such beautiful surroundings I thought I'd show you the look I went for on this very warm day.

It smells so good...

Vintage Dress: From the 1970's with pussy bow tie and bell sleeves.

Wellies: Traditional Hunter (My Dad's actually!)

Sprout getting involved in farm life by eating grass...

Jewellery

Ring: Vintage Stirling Silver 1960's

Other rings I wrote about in my Jumpsuit Outfit Of the Day. Click HERE if you want to see...

Errrm...I think they're in need of a good clean...

Earrings: Stirling silver - picked up from a charity shop, a bit 90's - can't exactly remember how much for now, but when I wear them they make me feel rather regal!
