Peacocks stays inside when it's winter

Wednesday, January 16, 2013

Vintage black 50's cigarette pants: thrifted

So, over here it's freezing cold! That's why I haven't posted any outfit posts in a while. It's so cold that even if I think its boring I tend to go for my warmest winter jacket from Filippa K and early in the morning I even wear my super warm pants that actually are made for skiing. Off course I try to wear some more interesting stuff underneath but it's so cold that I can't wear stockings and if I'm honest my pants collection isn't very big. It was years since I wore a par of jeans! 
On top of it all it's also pitch black. Right now it's six o'clock and it looks like the middle of the night outside. You would think that I should be use to this (being born and raised in Sweden and with family ties to the far north) but every year I long for summer.

To survive the cold I tend to find small projects for myself to do inside. I recently finished off this lamp by buying three different coloured lampshades. I've been framing some pictures, playing my ukulele (ironically), making videoclips, painting my nails, drawing, drinking huge amounts of tea, contemplating making my own three day truffles, playing with my hair and so on and so on. 

But finally I had to dress up and venture out to a party since my dear friend Sara is back from Chili (wrote a post about it here) and I thought I'd share my outfit with you! This blouse is one of my favorite pieces since it's so light, comfortable, classic and a still bit different with the peacock print and collar. But I still had to wear my warmest jacket, a big hand stitched scarf and warm leather gloves on my way to the party, just so I wouldn't freeze into an ice sculpture on my way there!

  1. I remember the stories my mom used to tell me about how when I was born (in December in Norrkoping) the snow was as high as the cars' rooftops...not sure how much truth is to that, but I can imagine how cold you are right now!! Love the triple collar and the lampshades!!xo

    1. It could definitely be true! At least after they had plowed the streets. I remember when I lived on the countryside and was snowed in so I couldn't go to school. Due to global warming we haven't had that much snow in the last couple of years but this winter it came back. Either way it's very cold and you get a little bit happy over the snow since it reflects the light and helps with the dark.

  3. Gorgeous vintage look pics. Lovely blouse and pants - my mum wore a pair of purple cigarette pants with a lilac cardigan.
