Show Us Your Purchases!

[KittyT]

Kitty I was wondering what brand the capri jeans are? The higher fitting ones.

epr, they are Talbots. I purchased these used and don't see the exact same ones on their site, but I am seeing that pretty much all of their blue jeans sit just below the natural waist, so they have that nice, higher-waisted look.

Sunny those shoes are so interesting, love the design!

Cute dress PT.

KittyT some very cute outfits! You are looking wonderful!


Like I always say, nothing makes a girl feel better then a little retail therapy!

That's exactly what I was hoping the most recent purchases (the pedal pushers and jeans) would do. I love them all but I still feel like cr@p. As they say, you can't buy happiness.

However, when he comes back, you'll have him AND the shoes, the best of both worlds!

My husband went away for two weeks recently,and I was so lonesome. And two weeks is nothing - I don't know how you military wives stand it. My vintage hat is off to you!

True true! Nice shoes, more vintage goodies and my husband back; what more can a girl ask for?

Estate sale finds

I hit up an estate sale today and bought two things. I just couldn't compete with the dealers.

50's tiki atomic wall shelves.

50's stand which I filled with my vintage purses.

No, you can't buy happiness and you can't take it with you when you go either!lol

 

[sixsexsix]

those are both great, i esp love the stand.

and yeah, dealers are the worst

Sunny, I'm always pleased to meet someone else who takes a 23 inch hat! And it looks lovely - hope it turns out to be what you want. Great shoes, too - the black trim and the cutout hearken back to some of the earlier elaborate styles of the 20s.

Hurrah for big head ladies! Thanks for the compliments - I'm excited to get them. Speaking of, I got a straw hat on the department store last week because it looks (to my semi-trained eye) distinctly like a cloche, or reasonable facsimile. Can I beg for your opinion on it at some point? Like when I get around to taking a picture?

 

[KittyT]

Mary, that stand is fantastic. I love the angled legs on many of those blonde mid-century pieces. Very jealous!

 

[goldwyn girl]

Mary, that stand is fab and the contents is not bad either

 

[Darhling]

I just ordered this from Trashy Diva for only $34!

 

[KittyT]

ooh lovely! I see they have a bunch of colors of this on sale. I love the aqua, red and black especially. I really wish they had the 40s black silk dress at a steeper discount though, as I really need a black cocktail dress!

I may have to order one of these babies. Thanks for posting.

 

[Darhling]

I love the yellow fabric with black pattern on it.. I think one of those dresses will be my next buy from them.

 

[Laura Chase]

Ooh, they have some really nice dresses, I love this one, but at $249 it's just too expensive for me right now!

Darhling, the $34 dress was a steal!

This one is just so lovely as well, the color is great... swoon...

 

[LawnFlamingo]

ooof. I have been trying to not purchase anything for the time being, but the Trixie for $34?! That is quite a deal. Aqua and red... here I come.

 

[Fleur De Guerre]

I so want many of the TD dresses, but they are expensive and the sizing isn't great for me. I am hoping to go to NO next summer though, so maybe I will get to try them on! I am seriously considering investing in some bloses though.

 

[KittyT]

I do like many of them and think they're pretty, but most of them just totally lack detail and pizazz, for too high a price. If I'm going to spend $200 on a dress, I can get a stunning one of a kind vintage dress with tons of fabulous details, ya know what I mean? The Trixie dress is lovely though, and in cotton at $34, that's a great price. I wouldn't pay much more than that though.

 

[The Shirt]

Man you girls are EEE-vil. I cannot resist your suggestions! Have now ordered the Trixie in the Kelly green. I will have something new every day for the cruise - yippee. You know Kitty after you saying that thing about the detailing. I'm thinking that I might just add a couple of cute vintage buttons to the bust or perhaps some rick-rack or trim to the hemline to give it a little something.

 

[MaryDeluxe]

KittyT...the legs on some of the 50's pieces are what I love most!

GG I'm still waiting for you to bring your uhaul!
