    The loss of occasion

    I'll definitely agree that there's no sense of occasion at all anymore. My roommate is going to her boyfriend's friend's wedding today, and though she is getting dress up, she told me her boyfriend is wearing jeans and a t-shirt! I was shocked and she said, "Oh it's okay, everyone else will be...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    True! I love that look on guys, there's a reason why so many gals lust after James Dean! I do the casual 50's jeans and a blouse look most often anyway, but I wasn't looking like that that day! I looked a darn mess. Even had paint in my hair!

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    Lizzie, cute new av! You're gorgeous! Anyway, I wasn't dressed vintage, but last week in the middle of my painting class (dressed in jeans and a sloppy t-shirt, obviously vintage and painting don't mix) I went to the bathroom to wash my hands. This girl who I've never seen before comes up to...

    What Were You Like As A Teen?

    I'm still a teen kind of (19, to be exact), but I guess I'll just write about my high school years. I lucked out in two ways. First, I got to go to an amazing, small, private liberal arts high school that had really great students and amazing teachers. Secondly, my best friend from middle...

    Can a man appreciate vintage and be metro?

    Very true, Baron! I like to think that men and women as individuals are too complex for a string of adjectives to adequately describe them. Even if we are talking about men as a group, or women as a group, there's too much variance for any one statement to be completely true. Even though I...

    Show us your hair do's....

    IslaLund, I know that in the Turudich book, 1940's Hairstyles there is a section with a few really nice military hairstyles and up-do's. I don't remember the thread that you're talking about, but if you can get the book from your library or through Interlibrary Loan (which I just did), there's...

    Can a man appreciate vintage and be metro?

    I personally don't like gender roles as they stand today, or as they did in the past. But that doesn't stop me from dressing in a very feminine, vintage way. On the same note, I feel metro-sexual or effeminate men (depending on how you define metro, they aren't always one in the same) can dress...

    As A Kid, What Were You Like?

    Shy or outgoing?: I was painfully shy when I was a kid, and had to go to speech therapy because I wouldn't talk loud enough for anyone to hear me! I would get very nervous and cry a lot, and would even throw up in kindergarten just so I could go home. I'm not really shy anymore though, but...

    Vintage styles for short hair

    The Audrey Hepburn look is very cute on you! I love the little bangs. Here's my hair when it was quite short about 2 years ago, when I was still in high school. I only started growing it out halfway through my first year of college: It was originally the "Amelie" hair cut, aka a graduated...

    Yikes, 15 minutes a day without sunscreen and I'd be a tomato!

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    So here are some of the things I acquired this weekend: Mid-50's to early 60's sequined cardigan (my mom bought it for me for $3!) Cute cat-eyes from this amazing estate sale (the house was a total time warp, not a thing had been changed since the 60's), $7 Excuse the...

    Those are STUNNING! Ooh, my boyfriend's gonna get it if he saw those at work (he works at the Rack) and didn't tell me about them!

    What to do

    I don't think I could manage a juice fast, even if it were just a day! Do you get hungry or headache-y?

    What to do

    No matter what, even if I'm just wearing some ratty jeans and a black tshirt because I'm feeling down, I put on red lipstick. That always makes me feel about 100x better about myself, and really perks up my complexion.

    Eek! I've had that happen to me many times before. Luckily, I'm rather double jointed so I always manage to find a way to weasel out of the dresses before I have to destroy them.

    Food Network

    I'm a fan of Good Eats too. I can't help but have a bit of a crush on Alton! I can't watch much else on Food Network though because then I get too hungry. At least Good Eats is educational.

    show us your lippy

    Thanks! I'm pretty sure I just put my hair in Hot Sticks (the bigger ones for the top layers, the small ones for the underneath layers, rolling them under), let them cool and then brushed them out a bit. I'm in the process of growing my bangs out so I just sorta pull them back and fluff em up...

    Can you help me date this item??

    Thank you all for the great info! I am totally stumped with this dress, because it does seem 80's, but none of the seams are serged, which makes me think it's earlier. Oh well, it's a nice dress anyway! And Lauren, about the shoes, I think they used to have little taps up front too, but they...
