OOTD: Like the old times

Hi!
How have you guys been doing? I recently got a few new basics from H&M. This sweater was one of them. When I was checking out, the cashier and I were talking about ways to wear this sweater when all of a sudden she said: "This would look amazing with a pencil skirt!",
we talked a little more and I actually ended up wearing this with a pencil skirt! It got really cold the day I was going to wear this outfit, so I decided to wear tights underneath this skirt.
Even though this outfit is quite dark, I like it! I especially like the scarf in my hair as a detail - it's thesame pattern as my skirt and I think it's cute!

Cardigan: H&M
Sweater: H&M
Skirt: Topvintage
Scarf: Topvintage
Shoes: New Look

Hope you're all having a good day! Thanks for reading!

OOTD: Pretty Pastels

Hey you guys!

How have you been doing? I've had so many changes in my life recently, it's a bit crazy!

There's a few changes that I'm really proud of and one of the changes is my choice to go through life as a pin-up girl no matter what ANYBODY says.

This is one of the outfits that I wore to school recently.

Yes, I said "one of the" outfits, more outfit posts are coming up soon!

I'm actually wearing a burgundy T-shirt underneath the white cardigan, but you can't see it.

Anyway, everything in this outfit post exept for my skirt is by H&M.

I got my skirt from Topvintage.nl, it's my favourite online vintage/pin-up shop! 

Do you like this outfit?

OOTD: Parrot

Hello everyone!
I'm so excited about this outfit! This dress is probably my favourite dress EVER!
It's a babyblue dress with parrots on it, I like it so much! I had a little bit of trouble figgering out how I wanted to wear my cardigan over top, but just wearing it open took away from the "wow" effect of my dress (or at least that's what I thought), so after playing around with it, I decided to put it in a knot.
Cute!

My cardigan and my nude ballet flats are by H&M. I got my dress from Topvintage.nl.

OOTD: A spring thing! ♥

Hello everyone! 

The weather has been crazy (in a good way), it's been so hot outside! 

I decided to start wearing my dresses again more often. 

Yesterday I went to visit one of my closest friends for his birthday and I went for my pin-up dress. This dress is from Topvintage (online site) and I just love it. It's bright and colourful, it just gives me a fresh feeling.

My hair is in a bun with three flowers in it, all by H&M. Two white ones and a pink one.

 

My lipstick is "Russian Red" by MAC and my make-up look was created using MAC products as well. You can see my tutorial here.

Thanks for reading! Have a lovely, sunny day!

My everyday vintage outerwear! ♥

Hello everyone! Recently I have found the love of my life: my newest coat! 

I got it at H&M and it reminds me of vintage/the fifties so much! It's absolutely beautiful! Of course I snapped some pictures for you!

Thanks for reading! Have a great day!

OOTD: Chin up, pin-up!

Hello everybody! I'm back! First and foremost I want to wish all of you a wonderful 2014. I hope all your wishes and hopes may come true. Today I'm back with another outfit of the day. I'm an intern now so I have to tone it down a little, but in the weekends I love to dress myself totally vintage!

I wore my new swing skirt from Topvintage with a sweater that I got at H&M. I love the colour! I added a belt, my watch from New Look and two hair flowers. The white flower is by H&M and the black flower is by Claire's. Next, I put on my shiny shoes (also by Topvintage) and MAC's "Russian Red" lipstick.

Thanks for reading! Have a lovely day!

NEW IN: Swing skirts

Hello everyone! Today I want to show you my new swing skirts! I have been ordering quite a bit of vintage clothing lately, especially winter proof items as well! Since it's getting colder, I thought longer swing skirts would be in order. So that's that I got! I got all of my clothing from a shop called Topvintage, it's an online shop and they sell a lot of Hell Bunny and Steady Clothing items there, but  also other pin-up products.

There's not a lot to say about it, so look your eyes out! Outfit posts will hopefully be up soon!

OOTD: Owl City

Hi everyone! How have you been doing? I unfortunately lost my voice and I'm also a bit sick, I hope I can get better soon! Anyways, today I have an outfit of the day for you! 

 

I'm wearing a half sweater with studs (really handy now that it's colder in the morning), a pencil skirt from New Look paired with a shiny black belt and shiny black mary jane pumps. I also have a clock necklace, two bracelets and a scarf with little owls on it (they match the colour of my sweater perfectly).

Thanks for reading! Have a great day!

OOTD: Flamingos!

Hello beauties! Today I have another outfit of the day for you! I recently got new shoes and a new skirt so I coudn't wait. I put them on rightaway for a meet up with a friend and of course I shot some pictures. iPhone quality, but stil, this is better than nothing.

My shirt is from H&M, belt is from a local shop called Action, I believe I got my cardigan from C&A which is a local shop too and then m shoes and skirt are from Topvintage. I don't remember where I got my purse but the hairflower that I'm wearing is from H&M.

 

Thanks for reading!

NEW IN: Swing dress! ♥

Hi lovelies! How are you all doing?

I hope you are enjoying your holiday! I am! I am getting ready to go back to school and resting a little bit now I still can, because next year is going to be super busy! Anyways, I wanted to show you a new dress that I got! It's a swing dress and I think it's really adorable!

 

Just like all of my other vintage dresses, I got this at an online shop called "Topvintage". They have the nicest, good quality dresses and their costumer service is lovely! I ordered the wrong size (the information box said you had to take a size smaller and I took my regular size) so they fixed it for me even before sending it, which is sweet because other wise it would have cost me money to send it back and receive the right size!

The belt does not come with the dress, I just thought it looked cute. The hair flower that I have here is by H&M.

That's it! My new dress! Oh, and also, during school, I'll try to get more "outdoor outfit pictures".
I hope you enjoyed my little post (and sorry for not posting a lot this summer, I've just been working a lot).
Thanks for reading! Stay safe!

Always,
Mamie Monroe ♥

OOTD: Different

Hello sweeties! It's been a little while! I hope you're all enjoying the summer! The weather has been really good, I love it! I spent a lot of days by the pool lately! 

Today I haven't been in the pool, I decided to do some shopping and take outfit pictures instead. What did I go shopping for? The sunglasses that I'm wearing in this outfit post! It's quite hard for me to find good sunglasses because I have an annoying face shape, but this one was perfect (and vintage)!

In order to protect my bleached - and damaged- hair from more damage, I used a bandana to "hide" it.

My nails are mint green, the ring finger has some glitters on it. I really want a moon manicure or a french manicure, but my  nails keep on breaking. Maybe I should get gellies?

The shirt that I'm wearing is a black basic shirt from H&M. The skirt is from New Look. I got it on sale! It's in peplum style and I think it's adorable! My heels are from New Look as well. They're just basic, black pumps.
The clutch is vintage - like real vintage, I got it from my mom but I don't know where she got it from, it could be from my grandmother.

The lipstick that I'm wearing is "Kiss of Life" by Kate Moss for Rimmel London! Honestly, this is the perfect cherry red! Love it!

Thanks for reading! Stay safe!

Mamie Monroe ♥

OOTD: Wood nymph

Hello sweeties! 

Today I went to meet a friend of mine. We went out to walk the dog and we also took some outfit pictures today! It was quite warm so I wore a T-shirt and high waist shorts.

The T-shirt and top that I'm wearing is from H&M. My shorts are by New Look and I'm wearing Converse All Stars. The necklace I'm weraing was a gift, my bandana is from a local thrift shop and my watch is from New Look. My lipstick is "Kiss of life" from Kate Moss by Rimmel London!

I love this outfit very very much! Keep on reading....
