what i wore...

there is something so unique about vintage slips that i adore SO much. i think it's the combination of feminine colors mixed with delicate laces that gets me every time! most of the vintage slips i own (or are usually drawn to) are a simple soft ballerina-pink. it's a color that you can slip right on and instantly feel ladylike & pretty. however, when i was at the flea market this past month {see post here}, i stubbled upon this AMAZING COBALT BLUE SLIP with almost a foot of floral lace that sweeps along the bottom just perfectly! needless to say, this was quit a score(!!!) and i think may be my NEW FAVORITE vintage slip!! 

*to balance the uber-bright-cobalt-blue i paired this fabulous piece with my favorite mary-jane wedges, black polish, and a simple ruffled tuxedo jacket... oh, and a vintage clutch with a vintage skinny belt!
**see more "what i wore's" on the left index under "the goodies"/"what i wore" xxoo(!)

Vanessa, this outfit is amazing! Loved the vintage inspiration and the bright colour of the dress. Not to mention the necklace that I thought it was a lovely, sparkling touch.

AMAZING. (and I use all caps sparingly) You look fantastic in that color and the style of that dress is just so unique and fanciful. Love.

Hi! Stumbled across this...This is actually a nightgown either by "Intime" or "Miss Elaine"..if you check the side seams, there is a hole where a belt would belt through, and you tie it around your back, creating a dramatic draping backline. I sell vintage lingerie and these are my most favorite nightgowns. Lovely to see nightgowns wore as day wear! Looking great!
