Glamour, Dollface, That's All You Need!

A skirt suit fit for a Hollywood star!

Alright, so I know I probably shouldn't share this yet...but I just can't contain myself! Here is a sneak peek of my newest addition to my vintage wardrobe....

Isn't it just divine? The soft mink collar in deep chocolate, the crystal buttons, the cocoa creme colored wool, the perfect skirt length, the nipped waist! And it comes with matching gloves! For some reason it reminds me of Marlene Dietrich. I can't wait to get it in the mail and to see what this "New Look" style suit looks like on :) Outfit post coming soon, I promise!

Sometimes You Just Get Lucky!

Last Summer, while searching Etsy for 1940's suits, I spotted this 1940's velvet skirt suit and fell in love:

I decided that I would put it on my wishlist and save up to buy it at a later date, possibly with my birthday money. Needless to say, about a month before my birthday, it sold. I deeply regretted not being able to afford it sooner, but that is life. Then, about a month later, I came across the exact same suit on Ebay, for a mere $35! Life is funny sometimes! I immediately bought it and couldn't believe my luck. How often do you come across the same piece of vintage twice within a few months? Well, on one of my favorite blogs ever I just noticed that it was probably the beautiful Louise from Pandora that had purchased the other suit! Take a look at how gorgeous she looks in this 1940's beauty :)

I feel very lucky that I was able to add such a beautiful piece of 1940's history to my ever expanding collection of vintage!
