Enough About Me..

Lets get back to what I'm good at, showing you pretty things you want to buy. Today I was just thinking about sweater pins for some reason. Its 80+ degree weather and I'm wondering about sweaters...thats me for ya. I wear sweaters all year long because of my arms...and I've got a cardigan collection so why hide it..hehehe. Well I had a sweater clip it was pretty much 2 aligator clips with some white beads on a chain in between. It probably cost about 2 cents to make and I think I got it free on a vintage sweater that I paid 25 cents for. It was ugly but I still made use of it quite often..until one of the clips broke off somewhere and now I have a clip with some beads dangling from the bottom...and since 2 of my favorite brooches are were MIA I went a looking for a set of 2 nautical pins and ran across an amazing sweater clip...then I had to look at sweater clips.
Here is that adorable nautical sweater clip. I really wish I had the money to buy it! It would be perfect on my Jumblelaya dress.

Wahhhhhhhh-haaahaa

I reserved this dress from fabgabs expecting a ton of sales from my new inventory...so far I've sold a whopping 1 item. A pair of 70s platforms.
I bought almost exclusively 50s and early 60s items to try to increase sales and it looks like people only want 70s..wha-te-fuh? I've been looking at other sellers prices and they all seem to be twice what mine are so I'm kind of confused as to why my things aren't' selling? Is everyone as super broke as I am right now?
It doesn't help that I'm also trying to pay off this dress from deargoldenvintage which is WAY overpriced...but they knew I couldn't live without it...jerks.
Looks like I'm going to have to list that dress after all...simply for the fact that I need the money because I need these other dresses (too) blarg...right now sucks.
So if you wouldn't mind, take a look in my shop. I reserve and accept payments if you're super poor like me ;)
Tomorrow is my last day on my reserve for fabgabs and I still have 2 payments on my deargolden dress. Prices in my shop are negotiable right now!
Here are some of the items in my shop right now
Tulip cocktail dress $62
Sailorette swim suit $149
Orange pumps $28
Red 50s leather pumps $48
40s nylon maxi with the most adorable puff sleeves $62
40s rayon with amazing neckline! $58
Chiffon overlay dress $64
Anchor pocket romper! $54
Butterfly print blouse $28

My (maybe) new dress and dreaded swimsuit pics

I found an amazing dress on my vacation for a steal, just $15 at a vintage store because it had a split seam at the waist. I bought it with the intention of selling it...but then I made the mistake of trying it on...I was a good girl and wore my longline bra so no more squishy tummy area
And I kind of fell in love with it. I'm really going back and forth about keeping and selling. It has a "tiki house in the jungle" print, my favorite feature (that i really wish they would bring back) the high neck with the low back. SO HOT!!

I've had nothing but "keep its" on my facebook profile...but I'm having major sellers guilt. I don't want to keep it because I know someone else will love it just as much (or more) than myself.

Uhg...and now the post I've been dreading...the swimsuit post. Oh gawd...let me say first off that I'm going on a diet (especially after seeing these pics) I want this to kick start my dieting posts. I'm currently at the heaviest I've ever been Over the past 5 years I've gained 50 lbs (and lost some and gained it back) and I'm just ready to start losing and get back to a weight/size that I'm more comfortable with. I'm going to start with the past 5 years in swimsuits from my store (that fit)
