Feature Friday

It's time to pick one of our many favs and feature it here on our lil ol' blog.

This weeks pick comes from Sally Jane Vintage. While curating our Oh My Stripes treasury, we found this ADORABLE red and white chevron dress. I swoon over it! Unfortunately, I am no where close to being a XS-S :( so I thought I'd share with you all. 

Her shop is so freaking cute too! It's nice and organized (note to self: organize our Etsy shop to look like this). It makes for some great shopping (did I mention, it's super affordable too) I didn't find anything in her store that I didn't like.

It would look so cute with some red wedges (that I just happen to own).  Seriously, why can't I be a size XS-S?  Ok, moving on....Accessorized with some red and/or white bangles (bakelite perhaps?) YES!  Topped off with some cute, white cat eye sunglasses! Oh hell, let me just go ahead and show you what I mean:

It's still hot out there (well, here in Houston it is) so this cute little ensemble would be perfect! 

Ok, so I featured a few more things today, but who's counting? I hope you enjoyed todays post and visit the shops featured.  They really so have some great items!

Have a great vintage weekend!

1960's Green Checked Dress

If you aren’t into the full spirit of the Irish then perhaps the classic Givenchy choker shown below will entice you into wearing green for the day.  It’s also a perfect vintage birthstone emblem!  Green is also the color for saving the earth!

Still not convinced to wear green for the day??? Well, if for no other reason, wear green for peace of mind!  According to color psychology, “Green is the pervasive color in the natural world ….. greens are seen as tranquil and refreshing…..Green is considered the color of peace and ecology.”

60's Red White and Blue Dress

Polka dots are fun!  This red and white polka dot dress is eye-catching and the pearls are so First Lady like.  Reveal your exuberance in a sophisticated kind of way !

60s Red Polka Dot Dress

The two piece dress below is an 80’s style.  It reminds me of the 80’s soap opera, Dynasty actress Linda Evans because of its attached shoulder pads.  I was always an admirer of Linda Evans because of her ability to adorn her wardrobe in spite of her height and broad shoulders.  To all the tall broad shouldered Lovelies out there, you can also stride in style!

80s Red and White Skirt Set

Accessorize any of these outfits or one of your own with these fabulous jewels and handbags.

Celebrate Love Vintage Style

The countdown has begun for the day of love…….
Saint Valentine’s Day!    Red is worn on Valentine’s Day as a representation of love, hence the giving of red roses which according to Greek mythology was the favorite flower of Venus, the Roman Goddess of Love.  In honor of Venus, Goddess of Love, I have chosen this beautiful bright red and white two piece ensemble as a top favorite must have!  This 80's Maggy London International original was designed by Jeannene Booher who is now retired.  This outfit is perfect for the sophisticated professional to wear to the office and out to dinner.

The Goddess of Love was not the only Royal icon who favored the color red....... the late Princess Diana also favored the color red.  Red is a very strong and noticeable color, mix red with white polka dots and you have a person with a zest for life.  Princess Diana impacted many lives and was a highly regarded fashion icon, as quoted by InStyle magazine, “it was not what she wore but the way she wore it…” I challenge you Lovelies to show off your vibrancy this Valentine's Day with this red and white polka dot dress……Princess Diana didn’t fear fashion and neither should you!

There will be more Valentine Fashions to come in the next blog!  Stay with us Lovelies !
