As you may have noticed by now, I've decided to post randomly whenever I feel like it. So yes, it's been a while since I've felt like it! But yesterday's two outfits called for some photos because I'm totally in love with my new vintage finds!
The dress is an antique. It is hand sewn from the 1950's. It came with elbow sleeves and a corset belt. I had to insert a new zipper in the back, and of course, I had to hem it up about 3 inches! My mother-in-law found it at an antique store for me. I adore it!
The blouse is another vintage find that I found at a vintage shop in downtown Grand Rapids on sale for only $5! It's such a romantic blouse. I paired it with my new 7 For All Mankind jeans that I got for free from a thrift store. Originally I had it with a skirt and tights, but my husband couldn't get over how old fashioned I looked, so I thought the jeans made it more modern.
Hope you all enjoyed the holidays and are excited about the New Year!
I love the dress!!! We just saw something like that in Grand Rapids museum!
ReplyDeleteWell, I also noticed that you still have your letter verification code, this slows down the readers comments, which I discovered on my blog. Sometimes I myself do not leave a comment if the blog has a word verification in the comments, just a hint:)
The dress is beautiful, although I have to agree with your husband on the shirt. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, the dress is such a pretty shade of pink!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty dress - but i just love your vintage white blouse - it reminded me of one I have in my closet that my great aunt gave to me a few months ago and I still have not worn. I think wearing it with a pair of jeans like you, will totally bring it up to date !
ReplyDeleteMe wants this dress!
ReplyDeleteLove that shade of pink.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love that you love that blouse. It's really pretty--I think it's cool that you're bold enough to wear something "older" like that.
