On the Impulse

Amidst the excitement of our engagement, I fell victim to an impulse buy. This dress is absolutely amazing, (why else would I have purchased it?) Let's just say my body type is not the right fit for this dress. Twiggy upper arms and torso are a no-no. I was swimming in this dress. I just got too excited.

This Nataya Age of Love dress is up for grabs on Tradesy, which is a wonderful way of finding "the" dress at low cost. And may I add that Tradesy offers a greener alternative to a one-time use new dress (and clothes!)

Here are some additional photos. I have found another vintage dress that I found at a more serendipitous moment--stay tuned. In the meantime, please visit the link below if you are interested!

These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things...

I was flipping through a 2009 issue of Vogue in which an article was featured on famous designers re-creating vintage fashion. I fell in love with their take on modernizing the styles while retaining the details of yesteryear's clothing. I found them absolutely inspiring and must be shared!

The suit is c-l-a-s-s-i-c! I'm in love with the stitching and detailed edging.

What I love most about vintage fashion is the class. There's not one ounce of slop, tomboy, or mess in this outfit.

When in doubt, go neutral.

Absolutely stunning.

If I had they ability (and the money) to make things happen my way, one of these dresses would be my wedding dress...

If you remember my nostalgic post about vintage hats, this is a perfect example of the dying art of dressing. Never do you see vintage hats, gloves and brooches on a modern-day woman. (Sigh)

This ensemble was interesting from the standpoint of color. Note the black suits paired with ivory tights and brown ankle boots. Note taken.
