    What do you do when you leave the house then hate your outfit?

    I hate it when I plan out an outfit in my mind and when it's executed, it absolutely doesn't work out. I'll definitely not leave the house until I'm satisfied. This has unfortunately caused me to be late to work too often. I also can't stand the idea of leaving with anything wrinkled, not...

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    I have to agree with the comments about Naturalizers. I think within the last couple of years, the quality has diminished. I've had two pairs within the past two years, and for both, they've lasted just in the area of 9 months. For the most part, they have been comfortable...

    Slips!

    I totally have to agree with you on them not getting attention like they should. I mean even if you do wear shapewear and the clothes lie better, if you're wearing the wrong thing and step into the wrong lighting, it's like you're showing off the goods. My mom always did and still does...

    Show us your Swirl dresses!

    Ladies, thanks for the advice. I'm going to maybe try to move the button, but as far as any kind of sewing or stitching goes, that'd be the extent of it. I'm totally useless when it comes to sewing and that sort of thing. I'm a little hesitant to get it tailored, though that's a good...

    Show us your Swirl dresses!

    question about fit First, I just want to say how much I love looking at all the swirl pictures! There are some really great dresses out there. I have a fit question and wonder if anyone can help me. I have a swirl, and everything seems to fit well, except that when I button it, it gapes a...

    Quality T-Shirts

    My other half likes Jockey. There are more than Hanes but not as expensive as CK. In my experience they hold up pretty well. :offtopic: The "wifebeater" comment just reminded me of something. True story--years ago, I worked in a sporting goods store. A customer came up to me and asked...

    Inappropriate-ness

    Yeah, I think it's just a little inappropriate to ask people such questions. I stay away from that sort of thing, because honestly, you just don't know who you're dealing with when it comes to strangers. If they are, there's always a chance they're not really happy with their situation. The...

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    I admire all you ladies who wear red on a constant basis. I still feel kind of uncomfortable wearing it during the day--have only worn it at night so far. I just feel like it calls too much attention to me during the day, but maybe I'll get to the point whereas I don't feel like that anymore...

    Slips!

    Ladies, thanks for the advice. Kitty, I totally know what you mean--I love a good bargin too but then again, who doesn't? I never thought about dying but now I'm thinking I'm going to have a go at it. One question though--would they bleed very much in the wash? I haven't dyed anything in...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Ladies! I just wanted to say Hello to all the ladies of the board! I've been visiting the site for over a year, but finally went and signed up. I've always had a fondness of just about everything 30's, 40's, and early 50's, especially music, fashion and the overall values (such as manners) of...

    Slips!

    Hi! First, I'd like to say that I've been to this site for just over a year, but finally signed up! I'm still learning so much from you ladies--I'm still fairly new to vintage. I find that just about every time I wear a skirt or dress, I have to wear a slip with it. Otherwise, I almost...
