Another fun post on Twiggy’s Outfits. I wonder where our famous model paper doll is going today? And more importantly- what is she going to wear?
Twiggy is on holiday in the English countryside taking photographs with her new camera. There’s a bit of a chill in the air, so she’s wearing a warm olive-green corduroy jacket and skirt ensemble. (Similar to shown) Accessories include knitted knee socks and walking shoes.

Ah Ha! Traveling Twiggy! I love it!
During the Twiggy years one of my favorite “walking” outfits was a pair of brown tweed “plus-fours” or knickers as they were also called, worn with a long belted creamy tweed cardigan sweater and a pair of “Spaldings” for women shoes.
They were a warm brown leather wingtip with the typical perforated designs. But they also had a flap that was removable that came down over the tongue and laces and was fringed on the ends. I don’t know if you can picture that but they were the height of British sporting elegance. And something that was really a man’s shoe but redesigned to the scale and slimness of a woman’s foot. I adored them!
Linda- Yes…I think I know what those shoes looked like. Did they also come in suede?
I don’t remember them in suede but it would not surprise me if they did make a suede version. I have something similar now that are linen and suede and very pale and elegant (but no flap). How I wish I would have taken more photos of my favorite outfits!
That Twiggy! She sure gets around!
And I love her taste in shoes…I’ve been in the market for a pair of not-too-clunky oxfords and those ones by Frye are beauties!
I’m also lusting after these from YMC but at that price I’ll just have to drool from afar…
Ohh…I love those shoes from YMC! Maybe they’ll go on sale…:)
