    I've got that laaazy feeling

    I wear my clothes with an apron, usually. I live in aprons at home. I probably spend about an hour at home a day, if I'm lucky, and its usually in between work and running out for the evening so there is no time to think! I just put an apron on when I get home, and take it off when I'm about to...

    The Decline of the Well Put Together Lady

    I draw the line at pjamas in public, tiny little bits of fabric passing as clothes and people who walk around proud or ignoring their dissaray. There is no line, but tacky is tacky and gross is gross and sloppy is sloppy but the above three things are all opinions and as you know, opinions are...

    Hello! (again!)

    Here are two outfit pictures - which I crossposted to the Powder Room... I hope you don't mind... And there are some suit ones in the suit section...

    Day Make-Up, Evening Make-UP

    My day makeup and evening makeup are pretty close. I just wear black eyeliner instead of green, and smokey eyes instead of my usual light red and cream colors... I don't need foundation or powder because my skin is really good, so occasionally I'll use some Coty's translucent powder to negate...

    Halloween costumes!

    I'm not going "as" anyone...but I'm wearing my 50's new look dressing gown with my hair in curlers and some absurd floofy shoes.

    The Decline of the Well Put Together Lady

    I wore a crinoline to school today. (am wearing a crinoline to school..I'm at school right now!) I walk to school around 8:00 AM...and I counted Pj and Uggs girls to amuse myself on my 10 minute walk. How does one expect to learn if they are dressed to sleep! And function! Somehow they...

    The Decline of the Well Put Together Lady

    Oh ladies, walk through any college campus...and you'll see pjamas, things resembling underwear that they call "shorts" and tiny little washcloths worn as shirts. It's terrifying to be a girl in a tea length dress (not for tea, mind you!) wandering these stages of undress! The comments! The...

    Oh, the Stigma of an Astigmatism. . .

    I have no need for glasses...so I've never worn them. But I do love a man in classic specs!

    OH MY GOD!

    Well spoken, Mr. Deckard. A pity more people don't feel the same way. People associate class with discomfort (Perhaps it has something to do with the good posture dressing nicely gives you?) and because they cannot invest, or don't think it is important to invest, in well fitting suits...

    Hello! (again!)

    I already introduced myself in the powder room but I just wanted to say hello over here! I love the 40's and 50's (and the 1860's...but that's another topic!) and I have been dressing "golden era-ish" in my every day living for awhile now. People are starting to get used to my tailored 40's...

    Sponge rollers---your looks and suggestions?

    It depends on how tightly you roll the curlers. I can get pretty loose cascading curles (check out my "hello I'm new" post for hair done in half normal sponge rollers and half of those soft sponge rollers) with those. I just have to be careful to not pull the hair as I roll them.

    Roaring 20s Murder Mystery Dinner

    -Cover the TV with something, or hide it -play some great music from that era. -I would dim the lights or use candlelights, or throw pieces of red fabric over the lights (Make sure the fabric won't melt if it's by a light bulb) to change the lighting. - When I think speakeasy, I think dark...

    Marcel Wave iron vs. "regular" curling iron

    A triple barrel curling iron gives a faux finger wave pattern... Check this out: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000065DK4/sr=8-1/qid=1161706462/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-6833472-8669716?ie=UTF8&s=hpc

    Traveling Vintage: Ladies edition!

    I am going to europe some time this winter, for a few weeks. I would be doing this as a student, and on a budget (so things like housing, food, ect are pretty up in the air) I want to continue to dress vintage while traveling, but I'm not sure how to do it! I can't cart around a crinoline...

    Ladies suits

    Mr. Deckard - what sort of interior shots of the suit do you need? I can take some and post them.

    Fishnet stockings--when did they first appear?

    Fishnets were done as early as the 1870s. I can't remember my source for that, but I do remember it in a primary source...I think it was a picture of "working" ladies and the fishnet's gaps were really large. They have come in and out of vogue througout the years and only came into popular...

    Wanted: For Murder of Good Grooming

    Oh my goodness! I totally understand your sentiments! I'm a morning person and all my early classes seem to have a dress code of PJ's and sweats. I usually wear a dress and heals to all my classes (I just LEARN better when I'm well dressed!) and I usually get "what's the occasion" for the first...

    the *stigma* with wearing red lipstick

    I wear red occasionally. I'm a redhead so I have issues figuring out what colors work with me....I'm going to go to sephora sometime and just find the PERFECT shade for me and stick with it. I don't get much stigma, but when I wear it it seems to complete the look and if I am dressed vintage...
