NSB Steve Erkel moment...Oops! Did I do that?

Okay, I know it's just a girdle and not very exciting, but it's my first and I'm tickled. I thought about and planned this purchase (go me) and was super excited that it came in at the lowest end of my bid.

Here's where it gets "pretty" ugly.
I had an NSB free pass for one dressy dress and was feeling really empowered about walking away from a few. When this pink confection came up, I indulged. I blogged about it...noting that I'll be so broke I'll have to wear it at home whilst dining on Ramen Noodles!

I would say "tomorrow is a new day" for NSB...but it IS tomorrow.

My latest vintage fashion finds...

They're not a matched set but they're close! And they were eBay bargains. Oh eBay, how I love you and hate you.

Oh Harpy...that brooch SENDS me!
Well played, Madame...well played. :eusa_clap

I love this pink dress! And the color is perfect for the upcoming spring season, which I am so ready for by the way.
You may be eating noodles, but at least you would be eating in style.

Skidoo, that pink dress is amazing! I'd put it on and dance in my living room whilst dining on said ramen. Look at it this way, eventually you'll forget how much you spent and you'll still have the dress to enjoy.

Oooooohhhh... the pink dress!!! So pretty!

 

[23SkidooWithYou]

Thanks girls.

I have a super weakness for these 1950's party dresses. I'll have to go to VLV one year just so I can wear them! Do plane tickets and a hotel room count as "accessories" for a dress?

 

[GrrlFriday]

Love, love, love that perfect pink confection of a dress.

Harpy, are those dress clips?

Lovely dress and yes in my book, tickets and a hotel are accessories !!!! And chocolate is a food group See you in Vegas !

I like the way Goldwyn Girl thinks!!

23Skidoo - that dress is lovely - please post a picture of you wearing it - it's got easter and springtime written all over it!!

I've been doing pretty well at selling and using that money to buy wishlist items. Today I purchased a jacket that has sat in my kaboodle wishlist for two months - it was still available and i still wanted it - yay wishlists!!

So amazing, Lady Day!!!

Inky...great little topper jacket! Very 40's and I adore Grey! It was truly meant to be yours. Congrats for making NSB really work for you!

Hmmm...I should send you the link to a ...noooo, that would be enabling.

Thanks ladies
Inky, that coat is fantabulous! Isnt it just the best to save and get what you really want!?

Love, love, love that perfect pink confection of a dress.

Harpy, are those dress clips?

Nah, they're definitely clip-on earrings, but could probably work as dress clips too as long as you were careful, the grip's not as tight as the dress clips I've seen. I will have to check my jewellery component suppliers and see if you can still get those little rubber grips/cushions that go through the hole in the clip.

Thanks 23Skidoo and LD, I really love it and it feels like it's so me!

23Skidoo - enable away - I am strong!! (and really good at deleting lately)

LD - it sure is - it's also interesting that it's enabled me to refine my wants versus my needs over the last months of NSB - this has been the "easiest" so far. The free pass just doesn't work for me - I need to "earn" them and it makes me wait.

 

[Miss Sis]

Hmmm, yet again, I have bought lots of things - in my defence, mostly small things - but I haven't got pics of them all.

Here's my favourite though, an embroidered peasant blouse. Been wanting one for a while and this was a real bargain.

 

[SayCici]

And that's probably the cutest peasant blouse I've ever seen! I've been wanting one too, consider me jealous!

 

[Miss Sis]

Thanks Cici. I really like that it has a collar. I also got a great story about it's history so that makes it even better.

I just have to redo the shirring elastic at the waist and it's good to go.

 

[hailey greenhat]

Miss Sis that is one of the cuteest peasant blouses i have ever seen, the colors are so bright! just amazing.
23Skidoo What a beautiful girdle it makes me want one

 

[Harpy]

Miss Sis, that blouse is so pretty! What wonderful bright embroidery.
