Teddy Girl

30 Comments Edit

This outfit is as close to "borrowing from the boys" as I get. I definitely admire that style in others, but it's not one I'm very comfortable emulating myself. However, how could I resist a slightly "Teddy Girl" inspired outfit with this vintage sweater and these horse embroidered loafers? I really wish there was more information and stories published about the small community of Teddy Girls, because they sound like some seriously cool ladies.


Outfit details:
vintage sweater
Modcloth blouse (from last year)
UO shorts
By Paige loafers
vintage Coach satchel

    Lovely outfit! I like the jacket!! But I think a skirt would go better with it... You don't look as comfortable in this outfits as in others (for example dresses).
    anyway awesome photos!

    Those loafers and that cardigan, absolutely adorable! I actually didn't know what or who Teddy Girls were until I read this, but now I wish there were more information out there about them too.

    Love the outfit! I think that some people pull off the "boyfriend" look really well, but I don't really feel comfortable that way, either... I'm a total girly girl, and plus I just don't have the build for the oversized pieces, etc.

    And I know it's already been said several times, but those loafers are amazing!

    Great varsity cardigan! It looks amazing on you, and will definitely be your staple for fall!! Ahh, picturing it over a cream or black dress with a peter pan collar! Wonderful find, love...

    And the horse shoes are adorable <33

    I have a sweater just like that, but different colors--it was my grandpa's letterman jacket. The stripes mean something, but I can't remember...

    Anyway, fantastic outfit!
