Ladies I have been naughty and spending a little bit more than I should but I promised myself I'll be good from now on! Here are two items I won on ebay last week (just waiting for them to arrive).

First I have this cute little skirt suit:

And then this lovely white skirt with gold chain detail:

I've also purchased a new roll on girdle (I don't think pictures are needed!) and my nanny gave me a lovely red patent 50s style handbag.

Very cute love the blue one. Oh and I got the Nannie thing. I just received a cute 60s(?) basket purse from my husbands Nanny's estate only she was a Nonny instead of a Nanny.

I found this hat at the Goodwill today and had to buy it. I don't know if it's vintage or even how exactly to wear it, but for 1.99 I grabbed it...

I found a crinoline to wear with the dress I got from Kamikat. I'm going as Frenchie from Grease for Halloween. So excited!

 

[Foofoogal]

It's an Evans compact (I hadn't heard of them prior to this) but I take it that it is a good name....

One of the best. It is amazing. I like to make up things in my head when I see stuff that is pristine like that.
Maybe a former beau gave it to the gal and her new honey didn't take it too well.

No Offense but didn't the bad girls like Frenchie wear pencil skirls no crinolin needed. The good girls Sandra Dee type wore the full skirts with crinoline.

That was always my understanding too...

Man you girls! I do believe she wore a beautiful fluffy dress to the dance. Anyway, I'm not remaking the movie. I don't know why I even bother

 

[MissElainey]

Wear what you want to, Texasgirl! In the movie anyway, Frenchy wore capri pants, a poodle skirt, the pencil skirt was part of her beauty school uniform, and she wore a big floofy yellow dress to the dance. I would love to see a pic when you're done with it all!

Exactly wear what you want... no need to jump on the offensive because no one meant to offend you... Happy Halloween!

Might be that I'm not following this correctly, but it looks like people are getting a tad bitchy here... :S

Ooh if you made a pattern of that collar there would be endless fashion possibilities on one basic top! Very lovely!

 

[NancyLouise]

I never really thought about vintage collars much but that changes my mind a little. Nice find!

 

[deadpandiva]

I became obssessed with vintage collars and scarves after buying the 1930's Sears cataloge book and could never really find any. The give alot of measurements in the book though so I am going to try my hand at making some.

Beautiful new hat!

It looks a bit uniformy - does anyone know if that bee means anything?

 

[Wire9Vintage]

Smuterella, That is one fabulous hat! I hope the bee doesn't end up meaning anything weird, because it's GORGEOUS! (I like bees

Do you have it yet, or are you awaiting its arrival?

 

[Smuterella]

Thanks! Awaiting arrival. I can't wait.
