I bought a pair of pajamas The weather's been grey so I must have been in a loungy type of mood. They're not my size, but hopefully the pants will stay up lol

Those look so comfy right now. I am at my mothers house and she keeps her heat on 60! I am so cold right now and wish I were at home in my jammies in my warm house.

Someday I hope to hear a girl say "What's a flip-flop?"

Ummm...what's a flip flop (as she backs toward the door and throws hers out the door lol)

lol It was around 20 degrees Fahrenheit today and a girl was wearing flip-flops at the Dollar Tree. I'm still shivering. (I did get some L'Oreal Endless Liquid Lipcolour in Everlasting Love but I can't show it because the camera is not set up yet.)

Today I bought a deadstock raincoat complete with matching hat, belt and carrying case! I managed to take a quick (and bad quality) picture:

The reason it's so wrinkled is because it's been folded in the carrying case for 40+ years!

Mod, wot?

Kimberly, those Hawaiian capris are a riot!

Also gals, I thought I saw a LARGE amount of 1950's inspired shoes in a Marshall's commercial yesterday on Summer shoes, so be sure to check your local ads/stores. I definately saw tiger pumps, and also some way too cute esperilles (sp?) with a wedge heel and cross over fabric in the front toes. Sounds common, but it looked very vintage.

It must have been fate!! Those are great! I am off to Target to see if I can get some shoes today. I have not had luck because I have such wide feet that nothing fits yet.

[Amelie]

those are amaing shoes!! you are very lucky to have them for such a cheap price!!!

I bought a hat :eusa_doh: and a pattern on Ebay :eusa_doh:
Just like I dont have enough of them [bad]
But well...

I'll probably have something to do about the veil... but eh

And this is a really cute swimsuit from 1949. Can't wait to make it!!

 

[Pink Dahlia]

Oh Amelie you have to put that on the pattern swap! And then to me?

 

[Amelie]

I'll see in which shape it is when I get it

But i'll probably end up just making a copy to swap though. I tend to be a little rough with my patterns, so I'll prefer to send you all something good lol
(and I am supposed to make good copies of patterns since I've studied a bit of pattern design, so don't worry lol)

this dress is from the 80's, but I liked it and it was only .99 cents (theres a hole in the armpit)

and I got these shoes cause I thought they were cute, $25.00, again not vintage but I loved them anyways.

I have been so bad today. I bought two more dresses. I couldn't help myself though. My extended family is in town for a few days and they want me at my mothers 24-7. There is only so much Crazy 8's and Soprano episodes I can take before I snap. Shopping is my therapy and I thought I would go to Target to buy some shoes which are a total necessity as I don't have that many for the summer. I went there and it was closed. [huh]

Anyhow, I couldn't get my fix there so I came back to my mothers house and while they are watching the season premiere of the Sopranos (I don't watch it normally), I am buying dresses on eBay. Yes I am the black sheep. lol

I will post pics tomorrow when they are gone!!

 

[Pink Dahlia]

I got this today. At $9.05 I think it fits in the $10 Club!

P.S. - That's not me.

 

[Rockapin-up]

Ohhh I'm so jealous

Nice avatar by the way

 

[Kimberly]

Pink, I love the color of that!! I have a thing for yellow and pink colored dresses. Just looking at your reminds of the of summer that is coming one of these days!! Great buy and so cute!

 

[Kimberly]

These are my two new dresses.

The first one was another BIN. I love BIN's, auctions stress me out too much.

The 2nd one is plaid which I have a strange obsession with. It falls into the under $10 club. :eusa_clap
