that’s right, folks! i’m running with a theme here. remember when i said i wanted to go a bit more edwardian with my teddy girl look? like yesterday? well, after posting those inspiration pictures today, i went to my closet and managed to find just what i needed was already hanging on the racks. the only thing is that this version is a bit more grown up and ladylike, so it was harder for me to try and look like a tough kid while wearing these stiletto heels! but i actually really like the effect. it suddenly makes me miss the days when i had really long hair, so i could twist my hair into some sort of fancy edwardian up-do.
anyway, i thought it was kinda silly that while taking style tips from days gone by, i’m actually quite on trend with the scalloped edge of my blazer and my little straw hat. though i suppose that’s half of the fun in dressing vintage and vintage-inspired. even trends from as far back as a hundred years can still make their way back into our modern wardrobes.
jacket: vintage scalloped sassoon jacket from pretty penny
blouse: pleated sleeve ruffle neck blouse courtesy of loft
jeans: j brand 210 the oslo in indigo
shoes: nine west suede platforms
bag: caning woven leather clutch courtesy of loft
hat: vintage straw boater hat
and just a quick note to remind you that i’ll be guest editing at live.love.LOFT. for the month of june!

Love the blouse & the jacket x
I think this may be one of my favorite outfit posts ever. I love this look, and mostly because it's completely my style- feminine, comfy, with a little edge.
OMG! That jacket! Your one lucky girl!
I love this outfit to bits!

the jacket has the most amazing edges I gave ever seen.
Ah, I would love to rummage around your wardrobe. You always look immaculate.
wow those heel are amazing
Beautiful hat! elegant outfit, congratulations.
This is painfully awesome. You somehow DO manage to come off as feminine and proper, yet tough and rebellious. I dunno, I really really like it. It might just be because I'm obsessed with historical costume, though…
that hat is great!
This is pefect! I can't find the words to desribe it, love everything about it! Esp the blazer – the coolest thing ever!

This may be one of my very favorite outfits of yours! You're rocking two of my current style obsessions: scallops and straw boaters. That jacket absolutely kills me; what a find!

I'm madly in love with your scalloped jacket. Ever since I read on your blog that they were going to be "in" this season, I've literally seen them everywhere! When your right, your right. Keep it up!

All of the special details in this look add up to the PERFECT summer outfit. I love that it's a vintage-inspired look that's totally wearable and on-trend, like you said. Great style never, well, goes out of style ;)

Love this, Erin! So great!!

I love the color of the blouse on you! It compliments your skin tone! I also have a similar scalloped jacket but in gray that I will be listing in my shop soon. Cute outfit as always! :)
whoa, this is awesome. i love how even though there is a lot going on here, it all works together–the shoes, the hat, the embellishments on the shirt.
Two of my favorite time periods/moments for fashion melded so nicely together (and yes, I know that one informed the other) Very well executed. Cheers!
that scalloped blazer is just to die for.
it's so beautiful!!
you always look stunning, dear

To me this look is classic Calivintage. The whole vibe is post-modern retro to me and it's rocking! I always love you in a boater, but today, this outfit has got to be one of my all time faves. Well styled, well executed, and well, just plain pretty! xo. -Bella Q

I loveeeee scalloped jackets! I have one from the 40s. They are so much fun! Sorry I'm a day behind on your entries and such, but I really really love this outfit a lot, but I've already pronounced my teddy girl love as it is. The heels with the skinny jeans you always rock so well look great too. Beautiful. encore!
