    Analiebe and Emer, thank you! I thought the color was great too. Here's my other purchase from that same store. I paid $15 for it as well. The only thing is it's missing the belt. If anyone happens to know where I can find a thin red or even black or white belt please let me know.

    Vintage Manicures

    I can't remember what the color is, I think it might have been OPI's Kennebunk Port, but I'm not positive. I'll look when I'm at the salon next time. I really should get my nails painted more often, I just always put it off for a later time.

    Thanks Inky! I kind of thought that they were a thinner denim, I was thinking about getting them in black. I was looking for some denim ones as well though so I really appreciate the link!

    Vintage Manicures

    Here's a pic of a manicure I had done in February. I'm a receptionist at a salon so the nail tech there didn't think it was strange when I asked to leave the moons unpainted. I really loved it. It made me feel so feminine and I thought it looked so pretty. Edited to add: Since I don't have a...

    High waist pants for us shorties **Found some!!

    Inky- I have a question on the Vivien pants. I was thinking of purchasing a pair but I'm always worried about purchasing pants online because of the length. I have the opposite problem, pants are never long enough. The Vivien pants look like they are the perfect length on you, so would...

    C-Dot, my birthday is tomorrow happy late b-day to you! I'm particularly fond of my hair today. It did exactly what I wanted. I set my hair in sponge curlers on Tuesday and the curl held all the way to today. I would just put it in a wave net and handkerchief before bed, and then just brush it...

    Emer- what a cute outfit, I love it! Here is one of the dresses I purchased on Thursday I mentioned I'd post a picture of soon. I wore it to dinner tonight. I purchased it at a vintage clothing shop in town for $15. I think the hem is a little short on me, but I still love the dress.

    What are you wearing today??

    This is what I wore out to dinner tonight. It was my birthday dinner. My birthday is tomorrow but the restaurant I wanted to go to is closed on Sunday. Anyway, the dress I purchased recently at a vintage clothing shop. I wore pearl earrings, back seam stockings and not pictured retro inspired...

    I'm not sure if they ship internationally, but you could purchase it from that website I posted. It's a reproduction pattern from Butterick.

    If you said you looked like one celebrity from the Golden Era...

    Thank you, I love Veronica Lake too! I actually used to part my hair on that side, but I changed it because I have a funny spot of hair that I like to cover up, so I changed my part. Thank you very much!

    Your Favorite Film Costumes

    I'm pretty positive she wore them in How to Marry a Millionaire during the fashion show scene when she wore the red swimsuit. Actually, I think that photo of her in the red swimsuit is a promotional photo for the movie. I agree, those shoes are fabulous! That suit was one of the first...

    I just purchased a dvd. It's two discs and each disc has a movie on it: The Postman Always Rings Twice, The Big Sleep, Dial M for Murder, and The Maltese Falcon. I was so excited to find it because I have been looking for The Big Sleep, and then I found this set at Costco for $14. I also...

    Ooh, thanks for the suggestions, I'll have to check them out! Like I said, I'm not very good at matching people, but I think you're stunning! I think your lip shape is really pretty. You kind of remind me of the classic barbie in the black and white striped swimsuit but with prettier eyes.

    What are you wearing today??

    High Pockets, thank you for the compliment. I like this, I'll have to remember it, thanks! I understand my mom always finishing it herself, I'd be that way too! I think sewing is a really important skill to have though. I must say I'm extremely impressed with the way the ladies and...

    What are you wearing today??

    Dan D, thank you. Everyone dresses so sharply on here, so I felt my outfit was kind of plain compared to all of the amazing ones on here. :) Memphislawyer, thank you also. It's nice that my mom sews. My aunt does a lot of knitting and crocheting. I was actually supposed to make that dress...

    If you said you looked like one celebrity from the Golden Era...

    I'm curious to know if I look like a celebrity from the Golden Era. I'm not any good at this type of thing, but the rest of you guys and gals are good at picking out matches. So what do you think, do I look like anyone?
