I got my second Covid jab today…woohoo! I’m hoping I won’t feel as ill as I did after the first one by tomorrow. But just in case, I’ve stocked up on paracetamol. The vaccination centre is in a small retail park where there’s a supermarket, and bizarrely there was a man with four Harris hawks in the car park! I went over for a chat and he told me they were having a day off from dispersing gulls and pigeons, you know, just chilling outside Asda! I put a couple of photos on my Instagram stories if you’re curious to see what they look like.
As I had no photos prepared for today we shot these when I got home. I’d been watching a couple of shirts from the same seller on eBay, and although I was outbid on the first I was the only bidder on this one. By an amazing coincidence I’d bought this bag a few days before – from a different seller – and I noticed from the photos that the print looked very similar. When they arrived it turned out they are the exact same print! Miraculously, I’d bought a matching vintage shirt and bag without realising it! This kind of serendipitous sartorial event doesn’t happen very often, so it’s even more extraordinary when it involves vintage pieces.
To pick out the oranges in the print I’ve teamed the shirt and bag with these marigold trousers. You may remember that I recently paired them with a vintage blue shirt. I think this marigold hue is much more versatile than bright orange – in the same way that mustard is more versatile than bright yellow. I’ve taken another set of photos with these trousers and a very unusual top – a combination that I didn’t think would work, but to my surprise I absolutely loved it! I’ll be posting that outfit soon!

What a coincidence to purchase a matching vintage shirt and bag without knowing it! I can’t say that I have ever done the same thing unintentionally, but I love how it worked out for you! =)
I hope you are having a great week so far!

I maintain the fact that you are the queen of accessorizing! I can’t believe you purchased that bag and blouse separately! What a neat coincidence!
Congratulations on getting your 2nd shot! I hope you are in much better shape than I was after mine 😉

Brilliant stroke of luck! It’s a fabulous zingy outfit.
Thank you for the feature!
I love this outfit – and how lucky that you managed to buy a matching shirt and bag. I just love your vintage outfits!
That must be faith, that they match. What s gorgeous print! I had my second one last Monday and I feel so tired!! But that will pass. And now I am waiting when your beautiful country turns green. When it does, I am off! I adore bird of prey, don’t know if they like it at a parking.
OMG how cool is that, Emma!? It was clearly meant to be, wasn’t it? And you look absolutely fabulous in the whole outfit. I’ve always rather liked oranges, mustards and browns together.

Such a great vintage look!
What a lucky coincidence to find a matching bag and shirt. I can’t remember this ever happening to me … They look absolutely amazing with the marigold trousers, and I’m swooning over your fox ring! xxx
Emma,
What a fantastic find and I’m digging the retro vibe with orange.

I love this look and the print of your shirt and bag. The outfit looks amazing and what a great find – love the retro 70’s vibe, my favourite era.xx
This is such a great vintage top! Loving how you styled it with these pants and peeptoes! So cool that there’s a matching bag too!

Oh my gosh, you got a matching shirt to the purse! That is amazing! I thrifted a red suede skirt at the local thrift shop, then two weeks later I found the matching jacket! I was gobsmacked and actually shouted in the store, “I just bought the matching skirt two weeks ago!” Lol, the other shoppers must have thought I was crazy.
I LOVE the marigold yellow pants with this look. Your accessories are stellar, Emma. Thank you so much for the link-up.
Too cool to find both matching pieces!
