Fitted skirts, with tight body hugging tightness, will give you sexy look. However, it’s kind of hard to move around with them on, unlike with A-skirts which will give you a carefree aura. <a href="http://pipleyboutique.wordpress.com/2014/01/19/start-the-year-fresh-with-a-great-discount-on-vintage-inspired-dresses/" rel="nofollow"> PipLey's Boutique</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05442571814751702489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978925481748522797.post-78337450255188240242013-07-24T09:34:43.254-05:002013-07-24T09:34:43.254-05:00Love your funny posts on vintage fashion :D Hmm......Love your funny posts on vintage fashion :D Hmm...I've declared war on buying more cups to resell unless I know they're valuable and will sell quickly.

Probably you have to be as thin as mademoiselle coco.....<br />I really like the 70´s peasant dresses, but on me the whole gathered fabric at the waist looks just terrible. too peasant if you know what i mean.<br />and of cause - NO evening dresses! they are a beauty to look at but there is no occasion to wear them in my live. even i would go to the opera i would be fine in a 50´s afternoon dress and still overdressed in comparison to the other guests.bahnwärterinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02032478343344432338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978925481748522797.post-7325459440161197662013-07-23T21:14:02.015-05:002013-07-23T21:14:02.015-05:00I have also found my self attracted and very repul...I have also found my self attracted and very repulsed by furs with the head still on them. My solution is someday I'm going to knit a fox-shaped scarf. It will be cute and all wool. No actual foxes harmed. These knitting patterns already exist!

"Yes, that's gorgeous, but not for me" is not something I'm used to saying at the thrift store, but I think my overstuffed house is gonna benefit immensely from it. Me, I am not a hat person in any way; I've tried quite hard to embrace them in the past, but my dedication to big hair always wins out, haha. Also, the super frilly feminine vintage, and all things pastel, have started to grate on me lately. I love how kitschy and cute those pink prom dresses and ruffled bed jackets look, but they're simply ridiculous on me, so no more of that.<br /><br />PS: That last illustration totally looks like beatnik Audrey Hepburn in Funny Face ;)Dakotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06955329474063496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978925481748522797.post-53598553356135435732013-07-23T18:37:01.974-05:002013-07-23T18:37:01.974-05:00Actually I HAVE worn those fox fur stoles; I don&#...Actually I HAVE worn those fox fur stoles; I don't anymore because I haven't found any, plus it's a harassment-magnet with all these obnoxious, self-righteous teenagers hassling me about a piece of fur that's well over TWICE THEIR AGE.

A couple of dapper elderly men ran the place. One of the gents tried cap after cap on my dome and finally he called his buddy from the back to come witness the big headed freak. Finally they hit upon a hat that would sit on top of my head, and stay reasonably in place with the help of a thousand hairpins. I looked like the 'shroom the caterpiller sat on in the old Alice in Wonderland illustrations. So, yeah, I FEEL your pain, but, on the other hand, I graduated magna cum laude because I have these corners on my head I can tuck information in. Substance over style, I guess. It's not how I would have it, but there it is.

Can't think of a thing! HA! Really though, there are a few things:<br /><br />Hats: I wont buy those grandma-ish straw rings with stuff attached to them. You know the kind. They'll just be a circle of woven somethingerother and have either a net and big old plastic flowers attached (ok, I HAVE bought one of these to salvage the flowers...but NOT plastic ones!) or they'll have a big bow attached to the circle. Ugh.<br /><br />Furs: I've yet to strike on buying a 'head attached' stole. I'm sure one day I will, but frankly most of the ones I see are just creepy. And it's not the head that freaks me out, it's the fact that the little hands usually look all dried out and beef jerky-ish. Eww.<br /><br />Dresses: Most things that are big and fluffy. I don't do ruffles. I'm not short, but I'm not tall either and ruffles just make me look like a toddler. So no '80s prom dresses for me!<br /> <br />I love that last outfit too! I'd wear that in a heartbeat! Dolly the Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05474700945219253368noreply@blogger.com
