Retro Prints

a floral printed denim material that I've had from the early 90's, it's now a flowy skirt. Should I make it shorter? Shown here with a scarf I made out of a crinkly upholstry material...

which could be casually topped with this blush pink / peach / nude sweatshirt...
even this pale blush pink cropped sweatshirt...
or topped off with this coral pink trench coat...
this blush roses necklace...
these peach wayfarer sunglasses...
and these blush pink kitten heel pumps...
and these rose gold fisherman sandals...
but certainly these nude / blush pink sneakers...
and this blush pink messenger bag...
90s WEK the World blue & green varsity jacket

Gildan heather blue t-shirt

wowowow...this is some really retro print that's so very 1950's-ish, corals, blues, pink, teal...it's got it all...makes an interesting loooooooong flowy skirt...hey, I'm an old lady now, so the skirts get longer! ;-)
interesting... this primarily blue and orange skirt has a kind of very retro 1950s-ish pattern? They used to make curtains out of material like this in the 1950s I think... These skirts would look great with denim shirts.

and top it off with this coral orange denim jacket...
and with this one this amber roses necklace...
Orange linen jacket
Coral jeans jacket
these coral mules...
and thise peach pink oxford shoes...
loving the retro vibes...

Passionfruit Watermelon Skirt

Does anyone remember the fruity prints of the 1980's? I had this remnant in my stash of fabrics from like waaaaaaaay back and thought it was time I used it, so here, the best usage for smallish piece of fabric was a simple skirt just below the knee...no fuss no muss...paired with simple tees and tops...
Colorblock 80s jacket
Fuchsia hot pink espadrilles
Gildan T-Shirt violet purple tee
Duotone lilac-blue button-down shirt
Holographic purple netting shirt as a topper
purple half-moon crossbody bag
purple spacedye sneakers
Lime buckle mules
This lime basketweave bag
Lime barn coat jacket
this H&M black crinkle camisole top
this heathered lavender tee...

teamed with these purple Salt Water sandals...
What a gorgeous violet purple hue!
these cool lavender shades...
everyone's gotta have at least one prairie skirt with an eyelet lace trim, and here's mine I put together with some lace I had left over and a lovely lavender calico print...
Madras plaid in shades of purple -- lilac, violet and lavender, with touches of red and a gold thread - so 1980's, having the gold thread going through it. The carved silver heart lariat necklace I made over a decade ago goes quite well too.

this lavender sweatshirt...
Purple jacquard jeans style jacket
Okay, I had the "knitting urge" all over again and whipped out this jumper with bits of wool I had left...I don't waste anything, if you know me! Everything gets used or reworked...
this violet stretch skirt...
Miista purple oilslick oxford shoes
violet / eggplant jeans will pair well with this jumper
and these periwinkle jelly sandals...
Accessorized with something like this funky striped purple flower jasper...
this green beads and aqua-green-purple-white pendant would team well
Ahah! This lavender patent pair of sandals are just the thing to pair with all this purple...super! Oh, my new crush...argyle socks...this pair has shades of periwinkle...perfect!
and Iolite / Cordierite...
and this NYX Lip Lingerie in Embellishment...
