Militaria

Wearing:
H&M boiler suit
TK Max silk scarf
Erstwilder brooch
Big W boots

No, that’s not a real crocodile! But don’t worry, it’s fooled me more than enough times…It’s actually a wooden sculpture that has been cleverly placed in the water to trick people. Thankfully we don’t have the real deal in these parts…That’s a North Queensland thing.

For some reason boilersuits have popped up everywhere this season. I have no idea what this is all about but I’m not complaining! In fact I’ve spotted a few military-esque pieces on the racks, and bought them. Only a few though, don’t worry I don’t have any plans to turn into a tankie. And I’m not looking to take up welding or riveting of any sort!

This is what I like to wear as a casual, low key vintage inspired outfit. Something that’s not going to make anyone do a double take because it’s mainstream but worn in a way that resembles a WWII propaganda poster. But still pretty subtle. And comfortable! Great for those days when I don’t feel like being asked what are you dressed up for.

A vintage lover from Brisbane. I am passionately nostalgic for decades before my time. I enjoy recreating looks inspired by the past wearing both vintage and vintage reproduction clothing. My blog focuses on the styles of the art deco period and features both authentic vintage pieces from the 1920s, 30s & 40s, as well as modern reproductions of clothing from these eras. My blog explores creating modern every day looks with vintage elements. If you would like to say hello get in touch with me through harlow@harlowdarling.com.
