I’m a sucker for matching outfits. If I can match my
accessories with my outfit, in incredibly accurate detail…I’m a happy girl. So
recently, when Zulily had this Pinup Girl Clothing Mary Blair skirt in train
print on sale, I knew I had to make it mine! At the same time, I went and
snapped up the matching brooch from Deer Arrow and boy oh boy am I glad I did.
This outfit is a matching pinups dream and I am so glad I snapped this set up
to wear together! I just had to share it on the blog, especially since this gorgeous skirt is still available from Pinup Girl Clothing! And what better place to show it off than a gorgeous garden which also features some very old train equipment!

I’m still a sucker for Jenny skirts and despite parting ways
with a good chunk of them earlier this year (I can no longer wear petticoats
due to my job and some of them weren’t exactly work appropriate), I still hung on
to my favorites and it doesn’t mean I won’t snap up a jenny I’ve had my eye on
when the opportunity arises! Thanks to some friends on my facebook, I was able
to snap this gorgeous Jenny skirt up in the Zulily Sale. I must admit, I was
incredibly excited and it arrived much sooner than I anticipated it would! I
ordered this jenny skirt in a large, as its been my experience that you should
size up in their printed jenny’s as they run small. So I got the large instead of my usual medium. I was spot on the money and
was over the moon that this new skirt fit! I was also excited at the addition of
pockets in their Jenny Skirts! The colours are as vibrant as they look in
pictures and I am so excited to try styling this skirt different ways! While
its no longer available on Zulily, you can still snap this skirt up on the
Pinup Girl Clothing website!
This skirt was the perfect match for my new peasant blouse
from Doll Me Up Inc. As a pear girl I find these stretchy tops a better fit for
me than the super structured PUG ones, which I don’t seem to fill. Plus the
lighter fabric makes them a godsend in our hot Australian summer, meaning I’ll
get plenty of wear out of them as the warmer weather starts to hit! I’ll be
reviewing this top style very soon here on my blog! I do love though that this skirt could be just as easily teamed with yellow, blue or a darker pink with the colours in the fabric! Making it a fun versatile piece!
Deer Arrow have been coming out with some incredibly
gorgeous acrylic designs in the past 12 months and when I bought this adorable
train skirt I knew what I needed to match it! This train brooch comes in a red
colourway as well and each little carriage has its own securing pin! Plus, it
even has little white steam. I cannot wait to see how well it pops against a
coloured top! This adorable train brooch is only $35AUD + postage too. They also have a gorgeous range of Christmas stuff in stock atm the moment!
For my accessories, I decided to play to the blue tones in
this skirt. Retro hoops, a blue necklace and blue hair flower were my go to! I
kept my shoes simple and comfortable for our hot style weather and another pop
of navy at my waist. Overall I adore this whole outfit and the vibes it hard! I
also loved the setting for this shoot! Shot in the gorgeous Wendy’s garden in Sydney
which was build on what was originally a dumping ground on rail yard land, it
features some of the old train mechanisms which were so lovely to show with for
this review!
I hope you’ve all enjoyed this review! I also got to shoot
with a new photographer for this review! So all photo credits to Phil Ingram.

Til next time darlings!
