Hello Erin! Welcome to the wonderful world of VINTAGE!! Etsy and Ebay are probably your best bets. My advice is to get your measurements; bust, waist, hip, as well as your shoulder to waist measurement. I know for me, I am extremely long waisted, so dresses that should theoretically fit me in...
I really want to wear hats more this year, like this black felt wide brim from the 1940s. A woman complimented me on it and seemed even more in awe that it was that old! You can see more photos from my outing on my blog Vintage Starlet.
Unfortunately I am not a minimalist... I usually only travel for work, so that tends to include costumes (and their shoes), sometimes props, glam makeup, and my perm rods. Not to mention my daywear. I used to travel with my heavy duty bonnet dryer, but I opted to buy a travel dryer and cheap...
I am very much attracted to the vintage aesthetics of menswear! It definitely catches my eye and I do find it to be the sexiest of all menswear. However, there is no need for me to date only in that fashion pool. I have dated guys that wear fashions that I find horrendous! If it's their thing...
I can only speak for myself, but it isn't the trilby, itself, that is a bad hat. It's the ill fitted, mass produced, cheaply made trilbies that men chuck about their heads without consideration for fit and style and continue to wear. The reason why it gets the side eye is because these...
It's been awhile since the last entry in this thread. I hope my adding to it is more about reviving and less about necromancy! I wanted to share my latest hat acquisition! In all my years of buying hats (I probably have about 50ish -- maybe more) this is my FIRST ladies fedora! I am thrilled to...
@Dm101 I'm digging that hat band! I've been getting a bit more into the Western motif since I started doing product photography for a Western Performance Arts supplier.
I thought of you guys the other day... while meeting up with a friend (where we both had rollers in our hair), we were both complimented by various folks throughout our lunch. Prior to that, on my way to meet her, finally in all my years of wearing rollers in public, with all the compliments...
I am a huge advocate of men in hats -- so long as they know how to wear them. I am no expert with men's fashions or their experiences, so this is just my opinionated observation of the subject.
Like anything fashionable, most folks (men and women) just wear what is handed to them and is told is...
I'm feeling a bit bad for the folks in the midwest. Here in Vegas it's already starting to feel like spring! On days where it is colder, I like to wear my full length mink (50s) if I'm getting all fancy and just my WWII wool sailor pants if I am casual. Sure the heat is just as deadly in the...
I got a lot of compliments on my hair tonight. Which I found funny because it is the happy accident of my hair not wanting to do what I had planned. I originally was going to wear my hair down with bumper bangs. I gave up and this happened. I call it the Powder Puff. It's not quite a Poodle and...
