Awesome "New" Dress

I bought this 1950s(?) dress last week. The neckline is my favorite part! Does anyone know if there's an actual name for that style? I will post pictures of the whole dress after I sew up one of the loose seams in the skirt part.

Also, I'm going to skip my Musical Monday post this week. I have a huge Spanish test on Tuesday I really need to hit the books for :(

Trying to do more outfit posts...

I want to start doing more outfit posts. Two problems: 1. Most of the time my clothes are more casual/un-vintage than I like to fantasize 2. Remembering to take pictures is hard. We'll see how this plan goes. Maybe the answer is going to more drag shows because it seems like it's the only time where I dress cute AND get evidence. These pictures are from a while ago, seeing the wonderful Pandora Boxx. My clothes were modern (vintage inspired), but my jewelry/purse were the real deal! Goal two is to start looking more excited in my pictures. I have a pretty "dead pan" personality though, so that might be harder to do...



I'm going to a late Christmas party tomorrow and a wedding convention Sunday. Depending on what I decide to wear, there might be a good chance of more outfit posts coming soon!

Thanks Mom!!!

I went to a vintage store today to pick up a necklace for my sister that I had seen when I was there the last time. I wasn't planning on getting anything for myself until my mom found one of the most glorious/gaudy purses. She talked me into letting her buy it for me as an early Christmas present (ok, so it wasn't that hard of an argument haha).

I also got a pair of pinkish/brownish gloves. I'm not dainty so I was pleasantly shocked that I found some gloves that were actually big enough! I came home and had my own fashion show with my "new" purse and gloves with my fake fur coat. I ended up wearing that outfit the whole night on the couch, watching TV and eating pizza (I did take the gloves off for the food). Only the classiest activities for the classiest of girls. ;)

The pictures of the purse do NOT do it justice. It's way more awesome in person.

Pink with envy?

My friend, Jessica is in town. We went vintage shopping with another friend of ours today. I'm super jealous of Jessica because she came away with two 1950s dresses and a pink 1960s(?) cloak. I wore one of the dresses she bought and we had a fashion show back at my house. I really love the dress she loaned me. I should have stolen it :)

Another 1960s Dress

One of my BFFs is in town, so we went out with a bunch of friends tonight. This was my outfit. I got the dress from etsy (I wish I could remember the seller) and I think the shoes are from Payless.

1960s Paisley Dress

This was the best full length picture I could get of my outfit with my lack of: space, good lighting, and camera skills. The last two pictures show better detail of the pattern, my newly dyed red hair, and my favorite wiskered accessory
