I'm Dreaming of a Tweedy Christmas

I've been so inspired by the images from this years Tweed Run, I decided to design my very own 'country lady' look. The style is very vintage and is a great look for the winter months.

It's been fun searching online for vintage classics. I was looking for this totally British look on a ('flexible' shall we say) budget.

'Breeks'

My pocket won't stretch to the designer price tags that come with Ralph Lauren, Barbour and Harris Tweed however, I do believe I did quite well.
Here's a list of my capsule garments and accessories:

• Ralph Lauren tweed hacking jacket - Ebay
• Brown leather belt - Deer Vintage Clothing
• Brown leather gloves - Catwalk Creative Vintage
• Vintage fox fur stole - Courtesy of my dear Mother in Law

Cool (and warm) way to wear a vintage fur stole

• White short sleeve shirt with peter pan collar - Next
• Vintage blue chambray shirt with long sleeves and peter pan collar - Ebay
• Multi fairisle sleveless tank top - Ebay
• Paisley bow tie - Ebay

Vintage 1960s paisley dickie bow tie from Ebay

• Escada brown wool mix lined trousers with wide leg- Ebay
• Paul Costelloe brown wool mix lined trousers with wide leg - Ebay

Flat Cap from Village Hats

• Tweed flat cap - Village Hats

Geeky specs .... I like them ok?!

• Geeky 1950s style specs - Direct Sight

• Argyle wool knee length socks

I achieved it all on a budget of approx £150 .... good eh?! I'll be able to achieve so many different looks for all sorts of occasions and will add complimentry pieces as and when I come across them.

Tweed is so 'right now'

My purchases are winging their way to me. I hope they arrive soon so I can enjoy a very Tweedy Christmas.
