    Dressing vintage in the workplace

    Kate, I understand..as I work in the same sector. However, you can’t go wrong with a 40s inspired suit. So many out now in the shops, all patterns and colours. Sweet blouses with interesting details are key too. Heels of course..unless you’re on your feel all day. When it’s cooler, cardigan...

    What's on Top - Bras, panties, garter belts, slips, & stockings

    Definitely true Kitty! But, I love that they are custom made and I’m supporting a Canadian company. All the other companies I buy from are US or UK. Nice to have something lovely made right at home. ;) X

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    SheBear, Love your shoes. I think you can wear a ton with those shoes..but I picture it with a 40s a line black skirt, sweet white blouse with buttons/ruffles/ribbons…and a 40s blazer. Oh how I love spectator shoes! These are my new ones: The soles smell like cinnamon! ;0 X BD

    What powder, foundation..

    I myself don’t use foundation. Just concealer on scars, and mineral powder. I quite like Bare Minerals – Mineral Veil, available in SPF, and also their Multi-tasking concealer. I use other powders sometimes, whiter ones. But the above are best for sensitive skin. ;) X BD PS my favourite...

    So, do you wear Sunscreen?

    I do wear sun block..sometimes as high as 50. I'm very pale and burn quickly, sometimes in less than 10 minutes! On the highest UV days, I use a parasol. I've been using it a lot lately. A man the other day asked me 'are you expecting rain?' *lol* No..just don't want to burn. I, however, hate...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    Hello everyone, I’ve been wearing vintage and vintage repro now for several years. The compliments, reactions and responses I’ve gotten have all been positive. At work I’ve been referred to as the ‘classy woman who looks like a 50s pin up.’ Flattering, but undeserved I feel. 40s, 50s and...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Hello everyone! I’m ‘new’ to the lounge, but ‘old’ to vintage. *lol* As a child and teenager, I grew up with my mother owning/running an antique store out of our house. She specialized in vintage clothing and jewellery and so my own obsession began. I’ve been collecting all kinds of things...

    Dressing vintage in the workplace

    I work in a university, and definitely dress down my vintage look. Even so, I’ve had lots of compliments and colleagues asking my supervisor ‘who is the classy 50s pin up looking woman in your office?’ That surprised me very much, as I usually just wear a nice flared skirt/blouse, or a dress &...
