It's actually beginning to feel like November here! It is sooo cold and windy. Sean thought I was crazy yesterday for stepping out to take pictures, but this is only the beginning. It's going to be quite the endeavor when there are feet of snow on the ground!
I'm lucky enough to have another day off so I have a few things planned to fill my day. I started with chocolate chip pancakes. One can't have a bad day when you start that way, right? I also have a few recent thrift store purchases that I'm going to try and handwash. I've only handwashed items once before and that was when I got a bunch of my grandmother's clothing handed down to me. It was quite the process, but they came out quite nicely!
I got this blue dress years ago at a consignment shop. I believe it is handmade (although the person who made it sewed a tag on the inside that says, "Vogue Paris Original" (I wish!). I love the design of it though. The construction makes the dress unique, but it is done very simply. It has some small holes that are beginning to worsen, but noting noticeable yet. I really need to get to work on mending a few of my vintage pieces before they are irreparable.
The coat is a winter staple of mine which I wear endlessly when the weather begins to cool. I found it at an antique shop a couple of years ago and it is in simply perfect condition. It has a red satin lining and all of the original tags on the inside. It is one of my prized possessions!
I hope today presents a great start to your week!
God Bless

ReplyDeleteI love the dress! It's a great shade of blue on you. Yeah, it would be nice if it was a Paris original huh? :)
It's one thing for it to be cold, but another for it to be windy, as well! The wind just makes it that much more awful. Stay warm!.. it looks like you will be in that super cute coat. I love how it's lined red on the inside-classy!
