Green loveliness from Annie & the Mannequins

As in my previous post, I have gone a little weak at the knees for green shades of late (which is weird since I don't think I own anything in that shade). Alas I spied a very pretty midi vintage skirt on eBay & knew it would be perfect for lazy summer dressing. I am a big fan of throwing on a t-shirt, big vintage bag & lazy day sandals, with a statement piece such as the skirt.



The skirt was sold by my newest vintage crushes Annie & the Mannequins. It arrived in pansy paper & was lovingly wrapped in tissue paper - I always enjoy the extra effort of some eBay sellers. The stylish duo mix up their vintage hauls with effortless style: think pastel pretty shades, floaty sheer fabric & houndstooth blazers accessorised with Chelsea boots & satchels. Their styling & eye for vintage delights is clear. Check out their eBay store, it has been added to my weekly list to check out their new finds.
