I absolutely love vintage! I always feel like I was born in the wrong generation!
These are my two favorite vintage looking dresses!

Krista, those dresses are really fun and bright. I love vintage things but have a hard time ever finding anything that fits properly. These dresses seem perfect for upcoming hot weather!

I also love vintage, but it's sometimes hard to find beautiful dresses like that around here. And there is that "fit" problem if you order online. Do you thrift for your dresses?

Thank you ladies! I really love these dresses and being able to get all dolled up with them!
Winnie, I had the same problem when I was looking for dresses. My problem is that I am not well endowed and those dresses are designed to be that way. During my process of trying on dresses, the store owner shared her secret with me. She says that there is nothing wrong with a little help from a pair of socks. Her advice was for me to stuff some socks in my bra to help the dress fit correctly. Sure enough, it works! So when I wear those dresses I make sure to use some socks.
Kristi, I actually don’t. I have found a small store who sells new dresses, shoes, purses, etc. that are made to look vintage. They are sewn out of the same thicker material and are designed to last. This store is one of my weaknesses. If you ever head on down this way I would be more than happy to take you there!

Hi girls!
My wi-fi has been down for about a week...fun to see this pop up. Krista, I LOVE those dresses! So adorable. Totally something I would wear, too. I did end up wearing that dress I posted, for a Christmas party. Here it is:
Here is another vintage-inspired dress I have, with a vintage apron. I've worn this one for the holidays, at Easter, and other times. I love it - reminds me of Lucille Ball for some reason.
I have no clue what I am doing in that pic or who took it. ??? The shoes are so cute. They are vintage inspired, peep toe platforms. Got them at Payless of all places. You'd never know that they aren't from the forties.
I do have true vintage pieces, and I love to incorporate them in my everyday clothes. Life is too short not to have fun, especially with what we wear!
Farmgirl Hugs,
Nicole

PS PeggyAnn, wish I could do my hair like that lady in your Barnes and Noble. The closest I get is with curls ala Veronica Lake. Hard to find anyone here who can do a good midi cut.
PSPS Krista I love your trick! I have a dress that could use a bit of ahem, help. ;)

Thanks, Krista. My best friend has great taste, and we are always finding cool things for each other! So funny that that dress fit both of us, considering she's a foot taller than me, lol.

You girls are really lucky to be able to wear those dresses. I'm not thin enough any more.
