A Classy, Girly Beret {review}

 

Hello ladies!

Sorry it's been so long since I've done a post. I feel bad about it - I mean, shouldn't the organizer of the site be the one who posts regularly/predictably?

 

I hope y'all will forgive me, pwetty pwease with sugar on top? Because we have a new series of reviews coming up over the next few weeks, which I think you peeps will like. And here folks is the very first review of 2014!

 

So, I was sent a snug-as-a-bug handmade beret from Rhymit on Etsy.

First of all one of my favorite things about this time of year is the fact that you can bundle up and wear cute wintry accessories! Take hats for example. I'm in love with hats. Berets, newsboy caps, beanies, fedoras (even though I've yet to find one of those yet) you name it.

Hats like this add classiness to just about any outfit. And they're usually super cute!

 

This was the first beret I'd ever been sent to review, and it certainly qualifies under the cute category.

 

It's definitely a quality hat, and the craftsmanship is evident. My favorite thing is that it's so soft and comfy!

 

I'm not a huge pink person, I'll admit. I don't naturally go for pink stuff when I see it. However, in this case, the texture of the hat is so soft it's hard not to want to wear it. It's lightweight and yet still adds warmth. It's very feminine and girly.

 

 Overall?

I would recommend this shop for sure. You should check it out for yourself! There is a lovely array of other colors and hat designs, and everything's handcrafted! The owner of the shop was a pleasure to work with.

Blessings,

Classy Vintage Look. {ClassyGarb}

                                                                                     

 Hello classy ladies! As you're probably aware, I didn't post last week because I decided to take a little blogging break. But I'm back now, with a new outfit post for you. Hope you enjoy!

 I don't know how it is for you, but for some reason I feel like (as far as clothing goes) I belong in another century. I love, love, love vintage or old fashioned looking clothing. A couple weeks ago, we had Past, Present, and Future day at a rehearsal for the show I'm in, A Christmas Carol. I decided to go as someone from the past. My fifties outfit fell apart when I discovered my poodle skirt had a mysterious stain on it... So I scrounged around in my clothing and created a 20s-40s look. I told everyone I was seeking help for the war effort. :) I liked the look so much that I decided to wear it again at church, with a few changes. Below is an image from Past, Present, and Future Day. Then I'll share my changes.

    And here's what I wore to church. As you can see the only significant change is the shoes and tights, though I also wore a white tank top instead of a brown one. The tank top wasn't really thought out, I kind of just wore what I had, though I like the look.

                 Up close... yeah my brother took a *very* attractive photo of me. (Sarcasm.) :P

    Close up on the headish area... isn't the hate adorable? It kind of has a tweed look... those little specks are actually part of the hat, not dog hair. :P

    And of course, the boots! Which I have featured in an outfit post before. But what can I say, I love them!

 As you can see, I've restated my passion for the color brown and jackets as well. I have a completely different, adorable brown and peach outfit that I may share at a later time. Now, for where the pieces came from.

 Dress: Liz Baker. This dress was given to me by a lady from our church. It's the perfect length for me, but needs some tailoring through the shoulders as it's a big big. That's why I wear jackets. As well as the fact that it adds to the outfit.

Jacket: Studio I. This jacket actually came from a set of dress and jacket, but while looking for something to complement the dress, it just seemed to fit. It was given to me.

Hat: d8y. Peebles. (Which is owned by the same company that owns Bealls.)

Boots: Easy Street. Peebles again.

Tights: Unsure of the brand, but they came from Wal-Mart. :)

 And that's all. What do you think of the vintage look? Yay, or nay?
