My mother’s old skating clothes – aren’t they lovely?

This is what my mother wore when she went skating as a little girl – aren’t they just lovely?

To me the coat and skirt are evocative of a lovely winter’s day, when the sun shines just right, and the ice is smooth and you are skating like an ice princess and feeling as if you are part of a fairy tale.

The reality of myself in an ice rink was something else! But in my dreams this is what I wore, and it was lovely. And I did pirouettes.

I can still remember looking at these clothes when I was little and dreaming myself away.  I never got to wear them, but perhaps my daughter still can? We’ll have to try them on and see if they fit – but not for skating! They are somehow not as practical as I imagined when I was little, but just perfect for a photo shoot in the snow (if the snow stays here – at the moment it’s raining!)

  1. Ooh, nostalgista, kaunista. Itsekin muistan haaveilleeni luisteluasusta, sellaisesta, joita näki lapsena korteissa, joulukalentereissa jne.
    Vaan ei, hiihtohousut jalassa ja anorakki, käytänöllistä…

  2. Suloista ❤️ Tulee tyttökirjat mieleen ?

  3. Kauniin nostalgista, jos oikein muistan on minulla ollut tuollainen puku

  4. Tyylikästä. Todellakin.

  5. Ihastuttavan pirteä puku!

    Ihanan punaista – ensin luulin joulupukin asuksi, kunnes vieritin sivua alemmas…

  7. marliska

    Kaunis väri ja puku.

  8. Oh my God! Jotakin tyttökirjamaista romantiikkaa ja rusettiluisteluita tulee pilvin pimein mieleen ! Ihana asuste ja idea ja tietenkin kuvat.
