An Outfit: Aubergine Feathers

well, while we'll in the colorscheme of goldedrod, aubergine, brown, rust, and so on, I might as well show you this little outfit. This is in my top five favorite dresses in my closet, which is odd to me because i LOVE detail and it seriously lacks detail. But it is that perfectly-worn-in-softest-cotton-i've-ever-felt (you vintage wearing girls know what i'm talking about). And i'm completely in love with the print, which i think looks like feathers from far away.
I would like to add that my tights are NOT the color of the sun in real life, when i brightened the pictures, they became neon. oops!I hope you are having a lovely weekend
many kind regards and thanks for reading,

I love this sweet late 1950's dress for its pattern and color, and how it is beckoning autumn.

I am working with a new photographer now, so i hope to be bringing you much more interesting outfit photos as well as shots for the shop. Thank you Chad, of Silvered Side Photography. Of course i still made him take my cheesy shots by my pale blue wall as i am a creature of habit.

Window Light

Kennedy Holmes, taken by Leonard.

Lately I've become so inspired by pictures of women illuminated by the sky's light through a window. I love how each evokes a different emotion. Some peaceful, some melancholy, dreamy, comtemplative, ready to take on the world.

I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as i have, thought i'm terribly sorry that i don't have their links. And as a pixie hair girl in a long-hair fashion world. i secretly love that there are a couple short-haired ladies in there :)

have a lovely rest of your weekend, and curl up by a window if you can.

thanks for reading,

p.s. do tell me the links if you know them.

Sweet De Ja Vué

There I was editing pictures of this dress that I was getting ready to list, when all of a sudden I got this strong rush of De Ja Vué. I thought this dress seemed so familiar...

Then I realized the memory I was having. A year and half ago, I listed the below dress: Same taupe and black color scheme, and very alike in its bold geometric presence. both have puff sleeves, both a black skirt.

why am i telling you all this?

Well, this dress is the first women's clothing item I sold on etsy. It changed the course of my shop (originally children's vintage) and my life as well. I really love that my etsy shop gets to be an ever-changing little project according to my whims and fancies (and my customer's likes of course:)

I am so thankful for my work and I need to remind myself of that daily.

and I'm thankful for all of you that have taken a chance in my little shop and let me live my dream by doing something I love.

Thanks for reading, too!

excuse the dorky pictures :)
