I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! We finally put up our Christmas tree and I'm so happy with it! After all that holiday spirit I couldn't help but wear this green dress today. It makes me feel a bit like a Christmas tree, which I rather like. :o)
Yes, I'm wearing pants! I'm surprised I haven't shown you these pants yet! I've had them for years and they're the only pants I truly feel comfy in. They're authentic navy pants from the 40s. I love um! The handsome couple is my Grandpa and Grandma from my Moms side. I never got to meet them because they both died before I was born. Though, my Mom tells me I'm just like her Mama! The picture was taken back in the 1940s right after they got married. Soon after my Grandpa went to fight in WW2. He was a pilot, not a sailor, but it seemed like a fitting place to take these pictures anyway. They had quite the love story. A truly happy in love couple.
As I'm sure you all know by now, I'm completely crazy about anything sailor inspired. I got this dress by doing my first ever vintage trade. The lovely gal I traded with is Maria with a wonderful shop on etsy, Adelaide Homesewn. Maria and I both traded sailor inspired dresses. What's so great about this dress, is that it first belonged to Maria's Moms! I love knowing the history behind vintage clothes. Maria doesn't have a blog, yet anyway. She really should because she's just a doll! So, go check out her shop and you're bound to fall in love with something! Thanks Marie, and Maria's Mom!
Ever since these photos came out of Scarlett Johansson, I've been quite smitten. It's been close to two years now since I first discovered these pretty pics, which Scarlett did for her album Anywhere I Lay My Head. I guess it's the magical lighting and the lovely vintage dresses that have kept me hooked! Maybe you'll find some inspiration too!
