    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    Hooray for the Woodward snarl lol Next time I'm feeling mean, I'm going to test it out. :) What a nasty, ignorant little man. I'm sorry you were affected by it - Ignorance doesn't often manifest in a graceful way. :( People are trained by the media to go into a frenzy whenever they see fur...

    Skirt shapes and hat shapes

    I never thought that hats and skirt styles should go together - I think it's more that the eras that should match. For example: Pillbox hats look better with sheath dresses or straight skirt suits, because that look is very early 60s. A 50s style hat, the kinds that sit on the back of the...

    RIP Steve Jobs, 1955-2011

    Sounds like my first foray into the world of liquor when I was about 16 :eusa_doh: Ooh, that sounds like a good combination! I feel like it would taste like cherry. If you find yourself with a bottle of Sailor Jerry's Spiced Rum and A&W Root Beer, mix them up. It tastes like vanilla! :)

    Could you lads settle an argument for me? :) I've never smoked anything in my life, but I've seen people smoke cigars lots of times and I'm almost certain you aren't supposed to inhale. My silly-billy boyfriend, however, inhales all the cigar smoke when he smokes one, and poo-pooh's me when I...

    Your vintage dream outfit:- forget your figure and budget just for once

    I love those big fur-trimmed coats of the early-mid 30s, like Jean Harlow's in Libeled Lady: And Myrna Loy's in The Thin Man, with that huge upturned collar: And the long, slinky velvet dress and matching fur wrap that Rosalind Russell wore in the 30s part of Auntie Mame:

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    It depends on how done up I am. If I'm wearing a suit for work or an interview, someone might comment on how "classic" I look, but mostly they don't say anything, and that doesn't bother me. I'd feel less professional if they made any specific comments (depending on the person. During my...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    Oh yeah. In college, I had a 90 minute commute one-way on the bus, so I got the stares four times daily at two large bus terminals. Here's how you stop them: Sit up very straight with your shoulders back, and look them straight in the eye with a confident, slightly flirtatious gaze a la Imelda...
