Weekend Finds and Pretty Dresses

It has been a long and busy weekend! Between thrifting/antiquing, buying art supplies, and celebrating my sister in law's 18th birthday, we've been running at breakneck pace. Friday was very successful vintage clothing-wise, but while I am cleaning those and getting them ready for photographing, I thought you might enjoy a peek into my other weekend finds.

Tiny Framed Sissi Print

Vintage White Cotton slip

Vintage Spring Green Net Hat

I wore this adorable little confection to my sister in law's birthday party. Isn't it sweet? It came from Solanah's lovely shop. This was its first outing, as I purchased it early last fall and the weather changed before I could wear it. It still needs a few alterations - I want to hem the skirt a bit and the bust needs taken in, but it was fun to wear! I felt like a Bavarian milkmaid.

I rolled my hair up in a bit of a messy 'do that looked like this. Lately I've been wearing my hair like this a lot. It's easy to do, requires no hair spray, and feels like the right combination of both Edwardian and 1940s, which is odd, but very much my style. Perhaps someday I will post a little video tutorial, if I can muster the courage to video myself. :)
