My birthday is next week and I'm starting early.

The other day during a marathon thrifting session for $13 bucks! I thought they were vintage, that's how good they are. I never knew Ralph Lauren made such things. They are ladies, too, in my large size for my sister ugly feet!

Today at an estate sale, for $15. Now I need matching gloves!

Go check the vintage pattern thread for the rest of what I got today....

Red Hot Riding Hood - I love that Hat! Something like that is on my wish list for our fast approaching Spring Racing Carnival. Great finds.

I love that hat, Red Hot Riding Hood! So cute!

I bought a skirt today on ebay... yeah, I can't wear it for like 5 more months, but it was a pretty good deal for one of these painted circle skirts, and I just love the colours.

I actually bought these a couple of days ago for work, but I finally got the pictures off my camera to be able to show them to you

(They were hastily taken so excuse the way some of them are arranged on my bed, lol)

Here is a cute navy sweater with a bow you tie to the side of the neck:

And this is a short sleeved version with a larger bow in a different material:

This is a pencil skirt with darling button details on the sides:

This is my favorite purchase of the day! High waisted trousers with wide legs. I have a pair of knit ones with buttons on the sides, but this one has a smooth front and are slightly dressier:

A cap sleeve top with a bow in the front rather than the side:

And finally a top with a ruffled detail on the collar and a tie at the waist:

So fun to be able to share purchases with ladies who actually care

Drool! If you need someone to wear it for you these next 5 months, I'm willing to offer my services.

I just bought this super cute sundress and little capelet on ebay. Too bad that Summer has ended here in Jersey, I'll have to wait awhile to wear it. Darn.

RebeccaMUA- I love all the stuff you got. I really need those tops. REALLY!!

I like special, little details on simple, black pieces of clothes.

Tell us where you got them! Cuuuuuuuuuuute!

DecoDoll, pretty skirt. Very 50s!

Rabecca, Looks like you have a score. Your style is simular to my own. I wear a lot of that type of thing to work, as well.
I love that the bows and Velvets are still in...means it won't be hard to find! I'm such a sucker for velvet and plaids. I need a bigger bank account too.

Odalisque · Oct 4, 2008

Here are a couple things I picked up today.
I've been craving a good pair of high waisted jeans and found an amazing deadstock pair!

The top is 60's but it fits well and I really like the pattern. The skirt is a 40's brown gabardine. I love it.

And the best part is I fit into 28 waists in the skirt and jeans! yay!

Aww thanks! I got them at Forever 21...perhaps they have a similar store in Italy? I couldn't believe all the vintage inspired clothing they have there for the fall! I am thinking about going back to purchased "colored" clothing for everyday.

Oh I do too! These are my new "work clothes" ( I am a freelance makeup artist and when I am on set, or even at a wedding I like to wear all black so that I "blend" into the background ). And I feel that little details like a ribbon, ruffles, etc. give a little "oomph" to an otherwise basic black top

I got them at Forever 21! For all those pieces of clothing it came out to something like $122 and some change. Not too shabby

Dandelion, Super cute dress!

Thanks, Lareesie!

Thanks, Odalisque! hehe... I'll keep your offer in mind if another friend who offered to babysit it falls through.

I love your finds too! I never can find vintage jeans long enough for me. I heart Freddies of Pinewood repros -- can't get into those anymore at the moment either though.

I think I tried on the long sleeved one with the bow in purple! I was super close to buying it, but I held back. I might have to get it next week, it's really cute.

I happened to be in Lincoln with my aunt last summer (it's been a while since I've been on the lounge lol ) and we had some down time, so I decided to take a walk and explore the neighborhood. I evidently picked the right weekend, because I stumbled upon a garage sale that was selling all sorts of stuff from the 40s and 50s! What was really odd was that all the dresses I tried on seemed to be tailored for me. The lady was selling all these beauties for A BUCK a piece!

I had in my arms about 23 dresses and all I had was a $20, but she accepted! Some of them are in pretty shabby condition, and most are handmade. Do you think I could take some to a seamstress and have a new dresses made from the old? Once I get around to taking pictures, I will be sure to post them!

Lareesie Ladavi · Oct 5, 2008

RebeccaMUA, Forever 21 has great stuff, I agree. I just scored some plaid things from there. I love going in there, it's like a treasure hunt.
