Turbans & Trousers (ft. Voodoo Vixen)

 

Aloha, honeys! I hope you're all doing well and enjoying the sunshine (if you're getting any!)! Today's post is about stepping out of my comfort zone... I have mentioned in previous posts that I feel my legs are my best feature so naturally the thought of wearing anything baggy that covers them sends shudders down my spine! I have always opted for a tight fitted leg as I just feel that's what suited my figure best however I do love the look of palazzo extreme-wide-leg trousers. I just feel they give off SUCH chic vibes and are just the epitome of class. I decided to break free from my usual-skinny-leg-chains and tried something that I usually run away from when I fell in love with the Nicola trousers from Voodoo Vixen (Use code ATOMIC20 for 20% off!). I loved how floaty they looked and the print was the perfect balance to make them look a little more interesting.

When they arrived I was NOT disappointed - they are even better in real life. As a mumma to a 7 month old, comfort is key and the Nicola trousers have an ELASTICATED WAIST. My prayers have been answered! A stretchy waist that is less OAP and more sassy s-ass-ee (I was tryna rhyme, cut me some slack :'D). They are really flattering because of the waist feature too as they nip you in the perfect amount and the flowing material on the leg hangs beautifully.

Hairspiration - Instagram Dolls!

Instagram is my favourite form of social media because it is where I am most connected to the rest of the 'vintage community'. Living in a small seaside town means that finding girls who like to dress just like you is unlikely (If you live in East Sussex - holla!), so having a place where you can all interact and communicate - even if you live on the other side of the planet - is essential for staying inspired and exchanging ideas. I love to endlessly scroll through pictures of girls in beautiful dresses and impecciable hair-dos. Is it weird that I have a folder on my phone named 'Inspiration' where I've screen-shot hair and make up from instagram that I'm besotted with and want to try? Haha, I hope not!

Anyway, some of these barnets are far too perfect not to share and it also means I have another place to reference when I'm having a bad hair day or just want to mix it up a bit. Enjoy!

P.s my instagram is @amberrosetheron - go and give me a follow for regular outfits of the days and faces of the day!
