CUFFED JEANS, PART DEUX: RETRO STYLE!

So yesterday we went to our weekly street fair, Downtown Tuesday Night, which is held every week when the weather's nice, in the old-town area with historic buildings, the train station, etc. I'd never been before, and I'm so glad I went since it was quite fabulous! I particularly loved the classic car display, where area residents brought out their lovingly restored vehicles to show off to everyone. They sure don't make cars like they used to!

I wanted to do a sort of retro-farmgirl look with my other pair of cuffed jeans with the slightly frayed hems that make it more casual than the jeans in the previous photo. Here's what I wore:

I didn't have a gingham shirt, so I wore this, my striped bouse from Wal-Mart, and my fab red peeptoe wedges!

You can see the blouse in better detail in this inside pic:

Blouse: George, Wal-Mart
Jeans: "Hippie" brand
Shoes: "Prince" peeptoe wedge in tomato, Marais USA

And here's a closeup of the Marais USA shoes, which I adore so much I want more colors:

I just love everything from Marais USA! The designs are simple, beautiful, feminine, and don't cost an arm-and-a-leg! Highly recommended!

Finally, I have to post photos of some of the rad classic cars on display:

I also loved this, a classic convertible parked in front of the refurbished Tower Theater:

I look at this photo and wonder whether this was how it used to be, back in the day! What wonderful design and craftsmanship! And the colors! Sigh. This is why I'm so enamoured with al things vintage.

Totally lovin the cuff jeans, you do casual chic so well. The shoes are absolutely adorable. I'd like to get a few pairs of those myself!

Great pictures too, what a great retro vibe you capture. Man, if I could go back in a time capsule, thats why I love the clothes from this era (40s, 50s).

Thanks so much everyone! I hope Marais brings back their other shoe styles which sold out. You can also find some of their shoe styles online at Urban Outfitters, probably a better place to get them if the sizing doesn't work out ... if you order directly from the Marais website they don't accept returns. But that's the only thing I don't like about them. All their styles have a retro vibe, which I love!

Adorable look, perfect for enjoying a street fair! I love the tiny ruffles on the blouse too:)

Thanks Missa! The blouse is at Walmart, and now it's probably on clearance. Even the regular price was only $14!
