Deja vu

 

  

I took this photo sort of as an afterthought right before I went to a birthday party. Please excuse the wrinkles on my skirt. I wore a very similar out fit recently but the effect was quite different. Alaric's photo was taken last month. When his hair was blond it used to pic up light quite a bit but the outfit includes one of my favorite shirts of his. Today I was quite busy with a take home test. Thank you so much for your lovely comments.

Psychedelic

I found this dress for next to nothing and it is quite an amazing vintage find. I don't wear it too much but I thought I would dress up today to cheer myself up while I'm sick. Marie of Lemondrop Vintage has a fab giveaway on her blog. All you have to do is leave a comment at lemondrop giveaway for a chance to win a charm bracelet for the Chinese new year. I am planning my first giveaway when I get 50 followers. I got the idea from Jessica of wardrobes and whimsy. I'm getting there.

The rest of yesterday

Here are some photos that should have gone with yesterday's post. We were having some technical issues. I just got those Ann Taylor brogues at Crimson & Clover a couple of days ago. I've been looking for shoes like that for ages!         

Bring back Bolo Ties

It is true that couples influence each other's styles. As I've said before 1970's polyester shirts are one of Alaric's trademarks. It was only a matter of time before I would find out that I loved them too.  Bolo tie purchased from Thunderhorse, a lovely little vintage shop in midtown.  School is amazing so far, although I'm a little sleep deprived. Can't wait until the weekend as we have a thrifting expedition planned. More pics soon.

Rainy day and Shorts

This morning it rained so we took Beatrix to an indoor playground. She had so much fun she didn't didn't want to leave! I got inspired to do my take on the tights and shorts from some other fabulous bloggers:  Pretty Little Pictures and hot chocolate and mint.  My shorts are from Crimson & Clover who also has a lovely blog: flaming hag folkwear. I've had that blouse forever from Nordstrom before I decided to only shop ethical and the boots are a thrifted gift from my sister-in-law. I pretty much live in them. I found Alaric's shirt while thrifting.  He loves 1970's polyester.  I'm starting school tomorrow and am very excited.

Out on the Town

Dress probably from the 1980's and shoes are Kenneth Cole. This was our big date night so we did it up.


Alaric's outfit is totally vintage 1970's except for the blazer which is thrifted and the shoes are Gordon Rush. Unfortunately he got hit by a bike when he was wearing these pants and they have a small rip on the leg, however they are still rad.

So excited about finding this dress. It has no tag and appears to be machine sewn from a pattern.
