Dress Yourself in Vintage

I have a love affair with vintage. Clothes, decor, jewelry, all of it. In order to avoid going bankrupt I'm starting a new series on my blog featuring vintage sellers and items. Dress Yourself in Vintage is inspired by lillyella's blog - if you haven't read it, stop right now and go. Read. I'll wait.

Okay, are you back? Her blog is wonderful. I love her features, her recipes, her eye for beauty. Her Couture du Jour challenges inspire me to put things together in a way that's beyond an Etsy treasury - I'm sure she'll get tired of me submitting outfits ad nauseam (not that I'm going to stop) but I thought I'd share some here as well.

This week I was inspired by a twitter link from Dear Golden Vintage. Lauren tweeted several links to a shirt, skirt and scarf that coincidentally made a picture perfect outfit (I added the mesh peeptoes that I wish I could squeeze my size 9's into):


Canteloupe Pointelle Knit Top

Black Chiffon Flounce Skirt

Reptile Print Silk Scarf 

1940s Black Mesh  Peeptoe Pumps

oh how I LOVE that outfit! I would certainly wear all of it. And isnt it the worst when you fall in love with shoes that don't come close to your size? I've *seriously* considered cutting off my toes on more than one occasion…
