Here is another fantastic vintage find from my local Oxfam shop, and this time I’m channelling the 1980s with this evening outfit I’ve put together!
This electric blue top has a beautiful cummerband waist feature with a column of buttons at the side, long sleeves and the ubiquitous shoulder pads of the decade for a little bit of power. I’ve paired it with this vintage leather pencil skirt from Urban Renewal @ Urban Outfitters and these red high heeled shoes from Singaporean shoe brand NODA. The slim fit of the skirt balances out the looser fit of the top and the bright red of the shoe complements the equally bright blue.
To complete the look I’ve added glitzy blue flower earrings from Oasis and this lovely pink and rose gold glass bead necklace from the 1950s, which I bought from an antique jeweller at the Powerscourt Centre in Dublin.
What a great find! I love it when I find the perfect thing in a charity shop and I’m just a little jealous of this one 😛

Thanks for your comment! Charity shop finds give me the most satisfaction, as I just never know what I’m going to come across and its like hunting for treasure. Cannot get enough of the vintage at the moment! 🙂
