I agree! JC Penny's has some really REALLY cute stuff on sale right now. Lots of skirts (pencil, full, etc.) and darling blouses (including a boat necked, nautical inspired sweater in both navy and navy and white striped) for really great prices

Forgive the background on these; the only shadefree area of my backyard is the clothesline, and I'd just hung out a load of laundry. Silly me.
These are part of what I got from an amazing vintage shop that had been idle since the elderly owner got ill, eventually passing away. Her grandson allowed me a private shopping day!
I'm guessing they're mostly from the 30s, maybe early 40s, but don't really know.
Kimono label says Top Madarin Yachiyo, Tokyo.

I finally bought something I've always wanted! Vintage luggage (late 50's early 60's I believe)!

Found this gorgeous set on eBay for $75. It's in near perfect condition and even has the key! We're planning a trip to Oregon in October, and I can't wait to take these with me! I'm so happy I could burst!

 

[SayCici]

This was one of my impulse buys. I had little heart palpitations and worried someone else would find it and buy it before me (it was only $8!) so I jumped on it. The only bad part is I have nothing to wear with it so I also need to buy a pattern and some fabric, haha.

The luggage is amazing! I recently saw an aqua set of old Samsonite Streamline that I'm dying to have.

Kimono label says Top Madarin Yachiyo, Tokyo.

This isn't a kimono, it's a Mandarin (Chinese) style robe/coat. Off hand, I'd say it's a souvenir from post WWII Japan, mid '40-early '50s, maybe even into the early '60s.

Wear it with a black skirt! It would probably even look cute with jeans.

Whoohoo! Vogue's New Book for Better Sewing (1952)!

Just bought this on ebay. I found it buried in the offer for another book, ABC's OF WHITE MAGIC SEWING (1951), which looks pretty great in and of itself, but I was most interested in the Vogue book.

Here's the listing: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260468328147&autorefresh=true
