Fashion Challenge ~ Day Four - Vintage Favorites

Good morning everyone! Today's challenge is to wear an outfit from the past! I picked a time around the 1950's, and my dress is an actual vintage dress from the 1950's! So are the shoes and also the necklace!

 I feel like I just came from the 1950's, we see if it will effect how I talk, by golly!





 These pearls where my great-great grandmother's pearls, so I have absolutely no idea how old they are but I can guess that they are from somewhere in the 1950's.

A very interesting print, not one that you would see today! I still rather puzzled as to what it is a print of....

Still it works out to have a pretty nice effect on the dress!

I just love how these shoes look with this dress, even though they do hurt quite abit to wear! We'll see how long I last in them. I believe that are from the 1930's or somewhere around then, still they are pretty old! They knew how to make shoes back then, the shoes that I have, usually wear out within the month!

Fashion Challange ~ Day One

I'm a little late in the game but better late then never! So here it is a fashion challenge from Bramblewood Fashion and I've decided to take up the challenge. Here are the challenges:

Sunday - There is no challenge for this day. You can do what ever you want.

Monday - Black & Brown/ Red & Pink / any color combinations that don't normally go together.

Tuesday - Bold Tights {color, prints, patterns, lace-y...}

Wednesday - Dress like your favorite era. {1910s, 1940s, 1970s, etc...}

Thursday - Polka dots. {If you don't have polka dots, you can do another print you own.}

Friday - Your favorite Fall trend. {I have a post on the Fall trends here.}

Saturday - Wear a hat. 

We'll see how I do as far as getting them done on time but any way here is my first outfit.

It is a family rule that we can't post picture of ourselves on the Internet so on top of this challenge I also have to think of creative way of taking pictures of clothes without actually wearing them.

Wool Skirt: Mummy's old skirt

Pink Sweater: Thrift find

Shoes: Merona, thrifted as well

Ooo I found out that I can post thing in the PAST! Isn't that exciting? look it says that I posted this yesterday, when I really posted it today! Yes! Time travel is possible!

Embroidered Books

Sorry about not posting for some time, things have been getting weird. Too much to get into right now, another post perhaps. Anyway I found these delightful and colorful classics,



I never thought that it would look nice to embroider book covers, but the end result is quite pretty I think. The only let down is that the cover of the book is only a photo of the embroidery. I thought that I might have a go at trying to make this covers and frame them for over my bed. Of course I shall have to work off the pictures but I think that I can manage, even if the colors won't be exactly the same. I will have to post them after a I finish!
