Touch of the 50s and a bit of the 60s

And I'm a day late for an update. HAHAHAHAHA! Well, better late than never right? Anyhoo, can I just say how much I love buying clothes online. It's so easy and there's not much of a hassle because you just search for the name of the clothes that you want, pay for it and voila! They'll deliver it to you, the only catch is that you have to wait for it to arrive but it doesn't matter. 
So, to cut the crap, I was searching online last week for 50s and 60s inspired clothing  and I saw that there were tons of stores selling "skater skirts". I'm not much of a fashion geek so I had no idea what skater skirts were so I searched it up on Google. There's this article and it says there that a skater skirt is inspired by the 50s style circle skirt, the difference is that the former is a bit shorter. I knew what a circle skirt was and I had one of those but I didn't know that I had skater skirts too like the one shown below. 

I've had this skirt for quite a long time now and I've always called it a circle skirt. I never paid much attention to it so I rarely wore it.  Little did I know that it was 50s-inspired. So on that same day, I searched it inside the landfill I call a closet and decided to wear it the next day for church. 

Now, the picture below is an example of a circle skirt. It's length is quite known to be just below the knee or a few inches above the knee. Shorter than that, it's already considered a skater skirt. Circle skirts and skater skirts are very flowy that even a slight gush of wind is able to blow it away so be careful when wearing them. HAHAHAHA I used this picture as an inspiration for my outfit.

Sleeves plus a circle skirt paired with black heels that had 1 to 1 1/2 inch heels.

Knitted long-sleeved top: Vintage Store
Here, I wore one of my favorite tops - a navy blue long-sleeved knitted top that I bought for a very cheap price from my ever-trusted vintage store in Katipunan. Would you believe that I got that for only 30 bucks?
Skater skirt: Grass Clothing Inc. Then I paired it with my blue and white striped skater skirt (still not used to calling it a skater skirt, it's still a circle skirt for me HAHAHAHA). I was so happy because it matched the color of my top. They were meant to be worn together.... jk. No, I'm not kidding. 
Pastel-colored sandals: Parisian To give it a more casual 60s look, I wore my pastel-colored sandals instead of wearing black pumps. I didn't want to look like a vintage nightmare..plus, the black heels won't look good on this outfit anyway. I got these sandals as a gift from my lolo for my birthday. My nail polish doesn't really match the color of the flats....so don't mind it. HAHAHAHA Vintage sling bag: Jellybean
I rarely wear bags and you can see that from my other pictures, but this time I had to since I had a lot of stuff to bring and I didn't have any pockets. I used my sling bag to preserve that vintage look of my outfit. I really enjoyed wearing this outfit and I'm sure you guys will love it too if you try it. It's easy to pull off since it looks casual enough to wear almost anywhere. :-)
