    Okay, I attempted pincurls last night which was a dissaster (I bought hair pins that were too big) so I curled my hair with vintage perm rods and used the hair pins to secure it. I suffered one night of sleeping in such a state and woke up early this morning to check my work. Well, I look...

    Lolilta, thanks for posting those pics. I will be on the lookout for hats with grippers going forward! None of mine have them and I was wondering why I couldn't keep them on. :D

    OK, I went to a place that I thought was Sally's, but it was Facemakers. :( Anyhow they had nothing but a shower cap and hairpins so I bought those. I will try my first pincurls tonight. I just hope I don't come out looking like Little Orphan Annie like I usually do. :p

    Ditto! If it looks good on you and is vintage inspired than buy it. That's what I do anyhow.

    Lolita, I love the pics! The one with the black hat and black jacket is so classy. How many pins do you need in order to get your hat like that? I am clueless when it comes to keeping my hats on. lol

    Can you help me date this item??

    Thanks for the info and reconfirmation Daisy. Yes I love getting clothes from the various clothing designers in Massachusetts. I like to picture what the stores were like, who shopped there, etc. Wellesley is a gorgeous part of the state and I was so happy when I saw where it came from.

    What Are You Reading

    Growing Up by Russell Baker. It's the story of a boy growing up in America between the two world wars and the depression. It's an excellent book and I can't put it down.

    Thrifting Tips

    Patrick, I so agree with you on your tip. I luck out because no one in my inner circle likes to thrift so I don't have to worry about competition. ;) I would never take someone unaccustomed to thrifting to a thrift store. You are absolulutey right about how some people will react to the...

    Thanks Pink, I am going to buy some of those tomorrow as well. Does anyone have suggestions on setting gel? Also do they have bathing caps there and caps to sleep in. I find that I toss and turn so much while slepping that half my rag curlers fall out of my head by morning. :(

    Can you help me date this item??

    I think you just lucked out with that in the condition it's in. Have fun wearing it over the summer and enjoy! Since we are on the topic of dating things, does anyone have any ideas on this ribbon suit. Obviously I will need a full spip for it as it's not lined. :eek: It has a side...

    Can you help me date this item??

    According to the VFG it looks like a 50's label. I asked a similar question on the vintage board on eBay and they told me that elastic was being used as early as the 30's. It looks vintage to me and it is really pretty. VFG Site...

    I could never do that w/ bobby pins. I have tried that once and it looked terrible. I am going to Sally's tomorrow and stocking up on a bunch of stuff to figure out what works for me. Right now I am using a curling iron during the week and not getting the results I want. Plus I don't like...
