what i wore - day one

DESTINATION

post office

WEATHER  - SUNNY AND CHILLY

The era stays mainly true to the 1960s.
The earrings are from an estate. (local purchase)
The sweater is mustard yellow and thrifted. (current )

The pencil skirt is a beautiful green tweed. (etsy find)
The shoes are amazing - Seychelles. (amazon and current)
The gloves are chocolate brown with a tiny  brown
 pearl for decoration (thrifted  and vintage)

All SO very simple.

Getting 'dolled up' doesn't have to mean digging into the

back of your closet for a ball gown. Simply pulling

on a wonderful button up and a high fitting skirt

can do the trick!

The coat. I've already been asked about this fabulous coat.

VERY 60s. Shawl collar.  Swing style. Three quarter sleeves.

Heavy and crafted from a floral tapestry fabric.

The pattern is just amazing. The colors  just give it a

'wild cat' in the jungle feel.

The coat was a gift from a dear friend in California.

It was actually purchased, with me in tow, at a vintage

store in Burbank called, "Hubba Hubba"

If you look at the reviews of the stores you might

feel terrified to step into the store.

The owner is a GEM. An absolute character. While others

felt insulted, I felt at home. She was  great to us - 

she even guessed our signs based on our interaction

with each other.

The prices were great and rumor has it the cast AND

the wardrobe department for MAD MEN shopped there.

That's it for now, beautiful girls!
