Recreate this Look: 1930’s Plaid Skirt with Sweater

1930's look

Today’s post was probably one of the most fun things I have done in a while! ย While researching and thinking about what to post for today, I beganย browsing through a bunch of photographs and articles on fashion. ย And then I came across this lovely photo:

I instantly fell in love and wonder how I could recreate this look on my own. ย Well….then I remembered Polyvore and my little heart just about exploded out of my chest. ย Polyvore, if you don’t know, is an online tool that allows you to search a practically unlimited amount of clothes, shoes, accessories….and create your own specialized look. ย Then it saves all the items you used along with the store websites and prices. ย I haven’t used Polyvore in forever, and decided to create a new account just for this blog!

So after the funnest and fastestย hour of my life, I created this version of the above look but with a modern twist!

Too cute!

While, I have to admit the sweater is waaay out of my price range, many of the other items are quite affordable! ย To see the breakdown, click HERE.

One could even sew a skirt just like the original using this pattern:

For a different look, use this fabric for the skirt and adjust your accessories to highlight the soft cornflower blue. ย Stunning!
