In the tall grass













Top - Found in attic
Skirt - Charity shop
Necklace - Charity shop
Bag - Jumble sale 
Clogs - Charity shop

 It's funny how in the last post I said I can never find vintage shoes these days and then immediately went into a charity shop and found a pair of clogs. I have to say I've been a bit unsure on the whole clog thing. I really like the clogs+socks look  for it's nod to geeks etc but wasn't really sure how it would look for me. However these clogs are more sandal like and also not so high as the infamous Swedish hasbeens appear to be. Also they are very comfy. The clogs are made by Walkley clogs in Wales. The only traditional clog makers still going in Britain, they've been around for 62 years. I actually rather like the boot style clogs in their catalogue for autumn.

Since all the editorials I've seen with clogs and a sort of grunge vibe, I thought I'd pair them with this 1990's thrifted £1.50 topshop skirt, but then I chose this 1960's top. I have a thing for button back tops at the moment, also it has a scallop hem. The necklace is one of those that is filled with perfume like the one from this post. This was the first one I found and probably my favourite. I love the little painting on the side. I took these photos on a walk through the fields near where I live, there were butterflies everywhere and kestrels hovering. I even heard peacocks in the distance and made friends with these cows hiding in the shade. Such a perfect summer day.
