I <3 vintage hand me downs. This skirt was my grandma's, and I think it's from one of their trips to scotland. It has a matching scarf, but I wasn't feeling so matchy matchy today. Wool skirts are my favourite, and when they have so many memories and stories attached, they're even better.

outfit:
hat-gift
blouse-ASOS
pullover/shoes- thrifted
skirt- vintage/grandma's
tights- joe fresh

  2. I wish that I was into vintage stuff before my grandmothers got rid of all of their old clothing. I'm sure I would've found some treasures! That skirt is great! I love the metal accents on your collar, too.

  3. That skirt is gorgeous! And the fact that it has a story behind it is even better!

  4. Aw! Wearing vintage clothes that were actually from a beloved family member are the best! What a lovely skirt and a lovely look with it!

  5. Your collar clips are super adorable! <3 They remind me of cat ears! P.s. I love heirlooms too - it is so much more special when something has been owned by someone else in the family!

  6. I'm selling two skirts very similar to that in my etsy store. I was really excited when I saw them! - Leah, waterlilythrift.etsy.com
