Photobooths and Sailor Hats

I went to town to meet up with fellow blogger and vintage lover, Miss Kitty Boo, the other day and had a very lovely time. I wore this new-to-me 1950s dress that I got from Betty Jane Boutique, which now has a physical shop, which you can read about on the site.

As you can see we had fun playing in the photobooth. I love photobooths (and that there is still one pretty close to me) but I haven't taken many photos in them over the years. I think I may have to start taking more from now on!

I was going to wear one of my new hats but then I saw my sailor hat sitting on my hat shelf and thought '...why not?' I've only actually worn it once before and that was as part of a costume! I thought it suited the dress rather well. I only wish I'd got a picture of the dress without the cardigan (which has nothing to do with the hat) - never mind. I shall just have to take more photos the next time I wear it.

I love the shot in the top left corner - we had no idea the flash was going to go off which is why we were caught looking so serious. 

Love,

There's nothing like the spontaneous and retro look of photo-booth photos!

Betty Jane Boutique looks fabulous - I am originally from Adelaide so I must tell all my vintage loving friends about it and visit it when I pop home next.

Loving your sailor hat too!

I love the cherry sweater! I have a big 'ol cherry iron on patch and I haven't gotten a sweater to put it on yet. I dig the photobooth photos too! :)

Your sailor outfit is so sweet, I love it!! And I was taken aback by how authentically vintage your photobooth pics look... how wonderful!

Krista Dee said...

I love the sailor hat being worn out and not just as a costume! I've got one as well...if I can whip up something to secure a pin to so it stays on my head, I can follow your lead!

Ms. Dee said...
