Recreate it: Dunaway Style!

Alright, let's see if we can attempt to recreate Faye's style in this iconic photo:

GreenVioletVintage's Mustard Yellow Sweater is the perfect tailored cut.

Thrush's vintage garden scarf is the perfect Dunaway accessory! Worn just like Faye!

As for the hat: This was a little harder . . . I wanted the construction of my Wool Beret,

with the slouchy cut of retrolane's Tam Cap, plus the color nemres's Chunky Knit Hat.

I couldn't pick one, so let's love all three!

Pleated Skirts!!

People always ask me "How do you like your coffee? With cream & sugar?"

I think the more important question is: How do you like your pleats?

Mini with Cheerleader panels?

Accordion and Aline?

Short and loosely pleated?

Tiered with Eyelet?

Full and gathered?

My fav: Accordion pleats! What about you?

Fall Fashion (Vintage Only)

Fall is coming, and I'll admit that I'm quite excited! I love the colors of autumn, a little chill in the air, and layering my cute vintage dresses with shrugs, cardigans and capes! Here are my favorites, all vintage, all found on Etsy, and nothing over $80!

From my shop, a stunning 1960's Cape in a Vermillion Red, $78.

Lea's Vintage has no shortage of cute fall wear, and her Pale Yellow Coat is lovely! $39

Ack! I love pink, and I love this 80's sweater! From Solanah, $20.

Perhaps the loveliest cut I've seen on a coat! If I found this swing coat in my local thrift shop, I'd keep it! But, for only $43 I'm thinking about snatching it up anyways. From forrestinavintage.

Rumor has it that blazers are back! Rock them in stripes, like this cropped mod blazer, from brownbagvintage, $30.

Lastly, we have my new addition to the shop: 1960's Pom Pom Shawl, $32.

Autumn dress preview coming soon ....

Shop Update ... All about Floral!

I've been finding myself drawn to floral prints! Especially ones that are muted, subtle & whimsical. Here are my favorites, that I've listed in the past few days!!

(Above: Smocked Floral Dress, fits XS-M, $54)

(Below: Vintage Market Tote, $26)

Even though these colors remind me of spring, I could not resist listing this wrap style floral dress, circa 1950's:

And this icy grey scarf is perfect for winter!

Lastly, my little tapestry wallet ... I'll admit that I thought long and hard about keeping this beauty forever, but I've had her for awhile now, and she told me she's ready to move on and meet you!
