This isn't a sexy, play-with-my-hair pose, I just have a stabbing pain at the back of my head??.  But hey, I do what I can. We've had a hectic, mixed-up week around here (that's a grand understatement-stress much?!), but I still managed to get dressed. Can't say I didn't accomplish anything! My foot continues to heal, and hopefully by the time we go on holiday in April I will be able to manage without the funny shoe. I probably won't be back into heels, but anything would have to look better than this. Right, complaining won't change anything, so on to the clothes. I purchased this vintage skirt last summer from an online seller. It was described as a 50's skirt, but I'm pretty sure it isn't. The metal zipper doesn't seem to be original, and I think that's what threw her. I know when I replace a zip I use whatever I have in the correct size-sometimes plastic, sometimes metal. Anyway, this is probably 70's or 80's but I love the co...

March in the American Midwest is unpredictable. One day we have an ice storm, the next it is 60 degrees. I know enough to keep out my warm coats (until June, realistically) but I've been slowly shifting everything else to warmer temperatures.  Thank you to everyone for offering your thoughts on having my spine fused. I'm not in a hurry to do it, but it is helpful to hear accounts that have gone well, and not so well.  Anyway, onto the clothes-get comfortable, I have some proper outfits to show for a change.  I loved the colour of this suit-an almost neon orange/red. Alas, the cut was frumpy, so I have already moved it along. That will be the case with most of the outfits I show this week.  Outfit Particulars: 1980's Made in Hong Kong linen suit-Goodwill 1970's cotton knit sweater-Hand-Me-Ups Necklace-Hand-Me-Ups Poodle Pins (on sweater)-Hand-me-Ups Floral pin on jacket-Tiff and Tam Bakelite and cinnabar bangles-all over Vintage Johanssen handbag-Hand-Me-Ups Earrings-...

Be My Valentine. I decorated the front door. No, I'm not letting the shark thing go. In other news, I've been out and about wearing fab clothes to do my damnedest getting through January. Did the month seem extra long to you? I have a few of these 70's appliqued and embroidered sweaters by Cyn-Les. They're fun, if a bit too youthful for me but eh, whatever. Here's the other giraffe sweater I last wore on blog in 2014  Cheeky giraffe! Anyway, they're fun sweaters except for the one my parents bought me as a kid that said, "Hug Me." I didn't hang on to that Cyn-Les sweater. Outfit Particulars: 70's Cyn-Les sweater-Hand-Me-Ups Gap shorts-90's (has a matching jacket) Tights-K Mart Boots-Goodwill Vintage 60's coat-Thrift World Handbag-Hand-Me-Ups Beret-K Mart Fragrance-Ma Griffe This is a necklace I never would have bought before I knew  Veronica .
