[chanteuseCarey]

yesterday afternoon and evening: I'm wearing one of my "makes me happy" outfits:

Wardrobe peices;
vintage 1940s coral coloured rayon long sleeve blouse with the 'gumdrop' buttons and hand embroidery around the buttonholes. Paired with my favourite caramel brown RL high waisted pleated wool trousers, and an off white vintage 1940s rayon blazer with trapunto stitching.

Accessories; vintage 1940s taupe lace up heeled shoes, vintage 40s goldtone bracelet, 40s brown corde' purse, modern cultured pearl necklace, modern cameo earrings and Coach watch. The eyeglasses are not vintage, new from Catherine Deneuve.

I used the 'antique' effect on iPhoto to "vintage-fy" this iTouch picture.

My buddies went through my wardrobe hahaha

Seems like a VERY fun time, Pine!

 

[Pinesiw]

Im glad they looked into my closet and had the urge to try them on, I can almost never find anyone to snap a photo of me wearing those outfits

 

[splintercellsz]

I know the feeling!

I've tried training the cats to do it, but they can't see anything in it for them.

I believe some of these new-fangled camera thingies have something called a timer

Great suit Splintercellsz, and the overcoat is even better, in my opinion.

Splinter, you won't believe this, but I just bought a suit that looks exactly like that one for 7 bucks from the local thrift store! I'll post pics once I have it back from the tailor. Looks awesome on you btw.

 

[splintercellsz]

Thank you very much, Tom & Gin!

I love this suit, and the overcoat just recently had the sleeves lengthened, now it fits perfectly!

Can't wait to see your new threads Gin! Bet they look sharp!

Awesome - the suit fits you perfectly. You can see why it would have been just a little long on my 5' 2" frame!! Be aware that there will ikely be no going back to modern clothes now you know how good 30s suits look …

I noticed when I was hemming the trousers that the "black" of the PoW check is actually a very deep blue, so it might just work with that brown hat of yours. From the photo, I'd say it does indeed work with the brown. With a pair of deep brown shoes, it'll be perfect.
