Vintage boots - Sole has split from side to side next to the Stick-A-Sole... Can this be repaired?? eBay... Paid more than I'd like to admit to!

This Lux dress. Thought with a more substantial belt it would feel more 50's and as it a little 40's.
I also grabbed 2 of the Built By Wendy patterns from my Gabes for .99 cents.

I've been searching all over to find a dress to wear for the wedding of one of my best girlfriends in May. I think I found it today at Target:

It is navy-and-cream, not black and white like it looks in the photo. It also has a 40s flair to it - which is good because there will be lots of swing dancing at the reception. It has cute pintucks on the shoulders, and on the back of the neck, as well as sweet gathered sleeves. I have a pair of vintage cream wedgies, a cream flower, and diamond/pearl earrings that will be perfect to wear with it. I think that my lucite purse will go with it as well. Sweet!

Yes, it's green!!! I don't generally wear green, I have no idea what to wear it with, or if it should be saved for special occasions. I has a red tartan lining and on the underside of the collar too. Wool, warm. Nice. I can just look at it I suppose lol
Green, with your colouring, would be absolutely divine! I'm sure the occasion will arrive - it looks snug.
 
Hehe I wore it to Tesco on friday and hid my booze under it. It's great!

ShooShoo - I love those glasses! Big fan of face wear I am!! lol

Aurora- I like the muff, I've been looking for one everywhere, perhaps I should make my own. My favourite coat has no pockets so I'm always at a bit of a loss for what to do with my hands. I figure a muff would solve this problem!!!

This one's home-made (not by me though), a length of faux fur and some satiny lining. My coat has pockets, but as it wraps over, one of the pockets is hidden under the buttons and the other is barely big enough to get me fingers in! Gloves and muffs are high up on my shopping list!! ;)

A few recent purchases...

Cute black and white cotton 50s dress.

Late 40s/early 50s Van Raalte nylon nightgown. There's a teeny pin hole in this, any advice? Should I put a bit of nail polish on it like you would a stocking? I'm afraid to wash it without doing anything in case it gets worse.

Little playsuit/dress. Though I have emailed the seller twice and can't get them to reply with a tracking number so I am worried about this one! They have great feedback though so I don't know if I need be worried.

Juliana style earring/brooch set.

(upside down) 50s earrings. I'm not sure which way to wear these...so the swoosh follows the curve of your ear?

Another set! Don't know what era, but I liked it!
