Today's outfit reminds me of the high-waisted shorts worn in the 1940's era as shown above. A recent purchase from Top Shop, these shorts have a vintage vibe which I love. I'm quite enjoying a caramel and black colour combination at the moment, I think it's a classic when complimented with red lips and nails and winged eye-liner.

Hey :)
My ma ADORES the 40's and also 50's era! You wear the STYLE very nicely, and those shoes are just FOREVER! Love them. I'm more the "6o's Chick."
Have a nice day :)
Thanks (although I'm not the one who is sick ^^)
Oo Nice Nice Nice ! Your hair is beautiful too ! and those shoes are awesome :)
oh wow, i am so in love with those shorts!! your dress sense is so well put together xxx
love your outfit!
the 40's posters are awesome!
Great outfit, love the shorts on you and I admire those shoes every time I'm in Topshop!
Those shorts are so pretty, I love anything inspired by the 40s, high waists, curvacious shapes, yum! I would never be able to walk in those shoes though, are they tricky? They look so high!
harriet - i have only worn them a couple of times, they are high & i do have to walk carefully. but i just love 'em & hope that i don't break my neck!
I love those shorts!
They are such a great shape, the high waist and the flare of the shorts looks lovely on you!
oh my, those shorts are lovely!
Gorgeous, darling!
Beautiful... I love the femininity of the 40s look and the shorts are a gorgeous purchase. What I like best is the fact that they can easily be mistaken for a skirt. And those platforms are fantastic! Hope you've had a lovely weekend :)
such a perfect outfit x
I can't believe I have never stumbled upon your sight before. Your style is amazing.
I just adore these shoes and shorts. It definitely has a 1940's vibe to it, which coincidentally is one of my favorite decades!
Those shorts are so cute!

i love the combination of taupe and black - it's so chic and sophisticated. Those shoes are absolutely killer - j'adore them! :)
I love the '40 and '50 style, but it's so hard to find things that would look like that now.. I think you chose a great combination! :)
Theeee prettiest shorts I have seen in a long time...really flattering shape too...am on the lookout for a perfect pair to wear with tights and I think youve found them...!
