Recent Purchases - A Proper Blog Post

Ugh, I hate winter sometimes because the sky is so dark, overcast all the time...and it has been in what seems like everyday for 2 months...ok, well thats an exageration...but it feels like it. Every time I need it to be a sunny day...its cloudy for 3 and then when the sun finally comes out I have other plans so I haven't been able to do a proper post on my new purchases..because I didn't want to show off my goodies with crappy pics, that isn't cool. Luckily today was a gorgeously sunny day, even if it was still pretty darn cold. But I had time today to take pictures of my purchases to share with you!

Purchase 1 - Buffalo, Giraffe and Horse print 80s circle skirt
You may have seen this skirt on the Vixen Vintage blog, Solanah borrowed it from SadieDeluxe and as soon as I saw it I snatched it up! I adore weird prints and 80s so its a win-win for me. Oh, and the shoes are also from SadieDeluxe .



Purchase 2 - Red and Pink L'aiglon Paisley Shirtwaist
It may not look like it (darn me forgetting I look naturally angry all the time) but I ADORE this shirtwaist dress. Its perfect for me, just at the knee length, little metallic buttons, Oh I love this! I will probably wear it for thanksgiving. :) I picked this one up from my newest sponsor, Raleigh Vintage! It fits just how I like, there is even extra room in the chest which is SO hard to find in vintage and great for the buxom ladies. (LOL, even though I think of buxom as a super sexy word, not one I would associate with my nerdy, goofy self)
Shoes are from my wedding.

Purchase 3 - Car Print V neck shirtwaist
Ok, I died over this dress the first time I saw it...I obsessed over it for like 2 days until I finally just asked Chris at Miss Farfalla Vintage to reserve it for me...and thanks to that 50% off sale I had a few weeks ago I was able to pay it off. Another perfect fit. I love when that happens. It even came with the little woven belt which I adore or I can switch it out for my fav red one.
Shoes are from LisaZain on Etsy (the vintage shoe goddess)

Purchase 4 - FINALLY a Beaded Cardigan
I've been searching high and low for a beaded cardi that isn't wool...they're impossible to find in anything older than the 80s so I had to break down and buy an 80s cardigan. I must say I was impressed by the beading, Its even got the shank, faux pearl buttons that I like. I think its just as nice as a 50s cardi..except it doesn't have that soft tiny woven look that the wool ones have...but hey, its either have a larger knit or have my throat close from my wool allergy...I think I'll choose larger knit, thanks :) Purchased from VintageFromVermont
Well that's everything major that I purchased (for myself) the past couple months...much more than I usually buy for myself..but I guess I'm buying myself presents this year..maybe I'll wrap them and put them under the tree for myself to open....hehehe..or not.

Oh, and while I had such nice weather today I also snapped some new pics for the birdie hair clip listings...


You can get one of each of the 9 styles of birdies in the hair clips and soon (probably sunday) I will be adding some of the Robot hair clips to the shop as well.

Thanks everyone for reading. I hope you're having a lovely weekend.
