Aaawwww,what a sweetie! You picked a beautiful name.If you are ever in Texas I know a vintage store that carries children's vintage clothing.
Best wishes to the happy family!
Brown and cream striped sweater with a boatneck and 3/4 length sleeves.
Dark denim 50s inspired capris.
Brown leather ballet flats.
Pearl earrings.
60s inspired makeup.(ala' Audrey Hepburn's doe-eyed look)with coral lipstick.
My preferences have really changed over the years.I used to wear only vintage when I was a modern size 0,because it was plentiful in my size and still reasonably priced.After I hit 30 and started gaining weight it became more difficult to find day looks that are in good condition/my...
The hubby and I had a blast.Yes,it was a costumey version of the era,but everyone was super friendly and just out to have fun with it.A refreshing change from the normal bar atmosphere.
We danced lots,so there are very few pictures.We decided to dress a little above casual and just wear...
My,my,my,what lovely company is kept here in our little virtual town.The ladies here always inspire me to step it up a notch.
Here's the most recent pic of me:
My vintage-inspired ensemble just doesn't feel right without my bouncy curls,but I was able to get ready in record time.[huh]
Thanks so much for all the ideas!:eusa_clap
This is a benefit that will probably attract the more "costume"(hate that word,too) side of the era.Not the usual swing dance or lindyhopper scene.There will be a few poodle skirts I'm sure,since the majority non-vintage/non-dancer type associates...
I just saw a flyer for a Sock Hop that will be in July.My hubby and I are thinking of going and have talked to the event planner about the possibility of doing a very basic jitterbug lesson.
Still shy about carrying my post-baby pounds,so the pressure to look extra cute is on.
I'm looking for...
Anabolina-
That's adorable!You remind me of Gretchen Mol,the actress.You also remind me of someone I once knew from the dance world also named Ana,(if my memory serves me correct on the name.)Coincidence?

Bonniejean-You're hair has turned out so well many days in a row.I think...
Fortworthgal-It's one of the easiest styles to fix and with a little personalization can be a very wearable look for many,so that makes it one of favorite do's to cut.I especially like it on redheads and brunettes,so I'm sure you pulled off the look very well.
Ladies-Thanks so much for all...
Everyone's been so helpful to me and completely understanding if I fall a bit off of the vintage style wagon.
Dash is 3 months old now and like Exquisitebones I feel lucky to shower everyday. I am challenging myself to wear one piece of vintage inspiration to work,but I'm definitely dressing...
Lo-Forgot to tell you that I love your hair and I think the relaxed waves look very 40s,like Veronica Lake when she had a makeover and her hair was put into rolls in the front.
Lolita-Prenatal's are great!They also make some fabulous vitamins specifically designed for hair,skin,and nails.They are called Nature's Bounty or Nature's Wealth and will say "for hair,skin,and nails" on the packaging.
Ohairas-Thanks so much!I never think of wearing a flower in shorter...
Found this little playsuit for Dashiell a few weeks ago and thought it had a vintage inspired look to it.
Found quite a bit more classic looking things for him today that I'll post throughout the week..
Ashley-
I use to wear wigs often and have completely forgotten about them until you made mention.Thanks for the words of encouragement and compliments to my little guy.(I'm pretty proud of him)I have to admit at his age right now I'd never have time to style my hair properly if I had...
Why aren't there "Growing your hair" support groups?
Lol!
Seriously,I need someone to talk me out of my once a year short do.I do this every year,just to turn around and wish that I'd left it long.
So,here I am again and wanting to grow it back out already,even Dashiell looks confused.
