Wearing Vintage in a Modern Way | Blue & Pink | Ageless Style LINK UP

1950's Vintage Coat | Blue & Pink | Fake Fabulous

After a hectic Hogmanay celebration, I'm feeling recovered enough to write the first post of 2018.
Happy New Year to you all!

Apologies if you were looking for the #fakeituntilyoumakeit link up on Sunday but I was in full-on party mode and all blogging business was firmly on hold.


I hope you had as much fun on the 31st as I did.

Hogmanay is a BIG celebration in Scotland and it sets you up for the year ahead!

1950's Vintage Coat | Blue & Pink | Fake Fabulous

Today I'm still feeling a little delicate so I'm cosying up in a vintage coat.

This blue beauty is from 1958 and you can read all about it HERE. 

A vintage piece like this one can do all of the work for you.
Instantly transforming an outfit from forgettable to fabulous with next to no effort!

1950's Vintage Coat | Blue & Pink | Fake Fabulous

This coat is so comfortable to wear and it slipped easily over my pink bobble jumper and navy velvet trousers.
The 3/4 sleeve allows a glimpse of what's underneath.

My new sock boots were the perfect partners for this look.
They are so feminine and slender.
Perfect for my slim legs, but great for any shape as they stretch to fit.

{I wore this coat with seriously chunky boots last time.}

After I added my blue cashmere wrap, things were getting a bit too blue so a pop of pink seemed the obvious thing to add to this look!

COAT: 1950's Vintage
VELVET TROUSERS: Boden (old)
SOCK BOOTS: Zara... down to £15.99... {Curses! I paid full price for them. I wish I hadn't looked now 😜}
JUMPER: Lindex
LEATHER BAG: Charity shop find.
CASHMERE WRAP: c/o Italy in Cashmere

I was so pleased to be asked to join the ageless style ladies by the lovely Cathy from Cathy V Style.
Please check out their vintage looks too!

    Samantha this coat is DIVINE... what a find!! I absolutely adore the shape of 1950s coats, I love how you piled on the blue and then went with pink as well. Gorgeous as always.

      It's my mother in laws Catherine.
      She is terribly ill with late stage dementia and it feels good to wear her beloved coat... this was part of her going away outfit.
      I always wonder how it must have fitted on her 4 foot 9 inch, size 6 frame!! :O)
      It puzzles me.
      Thank you so much for your kind words.

      Hahaha... I didn't think so Judy but now that you mention it!!
      Blue is such a beautiful colour and goes with almost everything.
      I hope to be bolder and more adventurous with colour this year.

    Found your post on Jodie's linkup and had to come over and tell you how much I am lusting after that coat! Oh my, it is a beauty. I love vintage coats and don't get to wear them nearly enough being from Florida. And those velvet pants, I think I need a pair. Hope Boden has more available!

    Happy New Year :)
