Bella - you make that dress sing!

texasgirl - I had a pair very similar and replaced lenses for about $35. Best investment ever. You'll look darling in them!

Miss Bella Hell, That's pretty. You got a smoking deal on it, considering what it had been.

Thanks mama! I am thinking maybe I'll wear an orange dress with this hat for Halloween and be a pumpkin! I *love* giving out candy to the little kids.

I hope you ladies don't mind me cross-posting this from the thrift/yard sale finds thread, but I am just so tickled to have found these:

1930s knit set ($4). Fits me great- I can't wait to wear it when it gets a little cooler!:

Sweet Leilani - That's my favourite green, I love that set.

Marzipan - Also great set... May I ask, why are you only allowed to wear period clothes?

 

[Sweet Leilani]

Thank you ladies! Now all I need are some green shoes! lol

 

[ShoreRoadLady]

I found this amazing gabardine suit at the same antique store I found my coat. The suit looks brand new in person.

Beautiful! Don't you just love all those little details? *wishes all the modern jackets she's been shopping for had cute details*

 

[Smuterella]

Miss_Bella_Hell, lovely things, I'm especially fond of the red number from Anthropologie, I can't see it on their site. Perhaps you could point me in the right direction. Thanks

I need that cardigan

 

[Lauren]

Just got this early 30's jacket on ebay. Yay.

Well, I TRY to only wear vintage but my wardrobe is pretty limited so I try to make my new look old. (sense?)
I'm living an experiment where I'm a 50's housewife for a year. I think my blog is in my signature.
So far it's been hellish and fun. But I broke my foot so it gives me a little break in terms of housework.

I am having this sweater/cami made from an etsy shop, it is a knitting pattern form 1952, it has a detachable yoke, that you can decide on how to look. I am having it made in ivory, with the yoke in ivory with little light blue snowflakes on it!

 

[decodoll]

Great jacket, Lauren!

Darhling, I love that sweater! Do you have a link to the etsy shop? Don't forget to post a pic when it's done!
