OK! OK! It's the first SS dress I've owned and I'm glad to have found a simple black cocktail dress. Sorry this pic isn't the greatest, but I lightened it a little bit to try to show some detail. As you see, I paired it with Remix babydolls and a belt.

Oh, I don't know what makes me the most jealous of all the goodies you've bought. Probably the shrug, I don't own a single one :( Also, you look lovely in your wiggle dress and baby dolls, I'm jealous of those too. I'm going to be too poor to buy anything this fall and winter :eusa_booh I should probably just put a lid on it. You have great taste!

Kitty, did you get that apron at the Garment District? Hate you!!

Ladies, I bought some lovely vintage things, but have no pictures, so I will save that till later. In the meantime I am going to share with you my new wardrobe, courtesy of Target and Forever 21, that I spent something like $160 on for three sweaters, some slippers, a pair of shoes, jeans, a tee, and a skirt.

two sweaters, one red one black (warning, they run at least 1 size big):

pencil skirt with pleats in back:

high waisted jeans for $6 on clearance! sorry no pic.

awesome shoes to match the skirt (my big toenail fell off and I have almost all peep toe shoes :( ):

cute little tee with a skeleton that says "daddy bones graveyard tours" also not on the site...

Forever 21 handbag:

and shirt!

The mags are showing a lot of sweater/scarf/pencil skirt combos, and I can't wait! I'm on the lookout for blouses that tie at the neck to go under sweaters, if anyone has any leads.

I did! They have a ton of hostess aprons right now. It was a whopping $6.

Post a pic of you from the wedding this weekend! That dress and belt were super cute. Of course, you'll have to post a close up of those amazing rhinestone jelly shoes. Good lord are they ridiculous and amazing.

I just remembered I still have to post pics of the cardigan I got at the Rumblers show in NYC a few weeks ago and the stuff I got from Miss Bella Hell's Personal Shopping Service :)

Cute stuff, btw.

I just bought this blouse in solid white from New York & Co. for $35.00:

I really like it and plan on wearing it under a green and gray argyle sweater vest with a gray pencil skirt.

I also bought a cute tie-neck knit shirt w/puff sleeves from Target.

I know, I have to find some pictures first though. Who knows when those will come around, now that my personal camera is broken.

Thanks! Target also had this super cute tie neck shirt, but for some reason it's almost $30. I thought maybe it would be silk but it's just poly...

Um, doesn't your fella have a camera? One with a certain photo on it that I've been waiting for a copy of? Tsk tsk!

Oh fine. I will go look for it and the cable too.

Here's a pic of the stuff I bought (I'm on the far right). Jewelry from my grandmothers, dress and belt from a local vintage store.

That's a really nice one! Most of the high box-neck blouses look very late-70s/early-80s. That one looks completely 1930s, though. Probably because it's sleeveless, and the details aren't fussy. Fussy = 80s-does-40s.

Yeah, that dress is pretty much amazing.

I'm wondering how I didn't make it into any of those wedding photos.
