    Books about the Looks

    I would suggest catalogs to get a good idea of how outfits were put together from daywear to evening wear incuding shoes and accesories. They give you a broader range of what was available than what we find in vintage/thrift shops. They also give you a guide as to how the clothing should fit...

    show us your lippy

    Lilred-- I know at both CVS and ULTA, you can return any item if you don't like the color-- even if you used it. I have done that many times when I get to the car and the color looks NOTHING like I thought it would. It has really reduced the size of my hideous lipstick collection.

    Kamikat, That's a great color for day...It's still in the red family, but softer and more natural. Nice choice.

    Christmas Eve... I wish I had a better pic. The background is really dark and you can't see the pin curl on the side, Oh yeah, it was the end of the night and I forgot to get a pic prior to changing out of my Christmas dress...Oh well, you get the idea.

    A sad Christmas observation...

    Wow...That IS really depressing. I'm sure there are no elves in line at the North Pole unemployment office. Santa just transferred the sporting goods dept. to electronics. Bah Humbug! Bring back the sporting goods.

    Girdles, Corsets, and Underpinnings

    Visible garters?? So I bought this GREAT crocheted/knitted 30s dress/gown (it's floor length...I'll post pics later this week.). It fits like a glove:D . My issue is that because it is close fitting around the hip and thigh, you will be able to see the outline of the garters/stockings when I...

    Catalogs

    Catalogs are a wealth of information from hairsyles to accessories, oh yeah, and clothes too. I have a few catalogs from the late 30s and early 40s. Oh to be able to place an order from there lol.

    I second honesty. I haven't got around to posting pics of me playing with my hair yet...but when I do, this is what I want! I know people on the street will look at me like I have three heads regardless of how well coiffed my hair is. Now if someone here thinks my hair looks like my cat...

    All Dolled-Up for the Holidays

    Dani, You could do the nude fishnets. I would go with a pair of backseam stockings. You can never go wrong with seams to complete a vintage (or vintage-looking) outfit.

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    When my hubby and I were out this past weekend, a guy asked him if we were going to a "50s dance or something". When he replied "no, I dress this way everyday." The guy seemed annoyed and just said "Oh, OK". lol
