Laura Ashley

Hello everyone! Hope you're all having a nice weekend.

A little while ago I went to Tunbridge Wells, a lovely town near the Sussex/Kent border. We walked down the hill from the new part of the town to the older part, looking in all the charity shops, antique shops and second-hand bookshops on the way! That's one of my favourite ways to spend a day, and I enjoyed myself very much. 

I came back home with a couple of goodies! I got a 1920s edition of What Katy Did at School with a nice Art Nouveau style binding and a pretty, pleated Laura Ashley skirt in a charity shop. I'm a big fan of this romantic, demure UK brand, but I haven't managed to collect many pieces yet. I'm wearing a skirt I made using Laura Ashley fabric in this post .

I wore my new skirt a couple of days later to visit Hove museum. I coordinated with my 1970s leg o' mutton blouse for a suitably period style!

A non-lolita outfit today! I felt inspired by natural kei, hence the headscarf.

The skirt is made from Laura Ashley fabric. I absolutely love Laura Ashley, and I'm always hunting for some vintage pieces. I found a wonderful brown velvet medieval-style dress recently, but the neckline was a bit low and it was too fitted for my taste. I hope someone else bought it and loved it! 

I want to start wearing more headscarves! I think they're adorable. My mother has a nice collection of silk scarves so I'll have to see if I can borrow some. 

I wore coral lipstick with this coordinate to brighten my face and give a doll-like look. It goes quite well with the overall colour scheme I think!

Thanks so much for looking, I hope you liked today's coordinate!
