Hello there! I don't have much going on today, just staying home with Bob. He's doing a lot of cooking and baking, like he always does on Sundays, and I'm doing a lot of reading and Netflix, plus some outfit pictures, and working out, also as per usual, ha. I love our quiet Sundays.
In the pictures below I'm wearing a new Lindy Bop Gilda dress. I have one othe Gilda dress, and that one has a San Francisco print on it; I've done a post on it before. The Gilda is my favorite LB dress style. I find it has a better fit than other styles I've tried, and is more flattering. This print was first released in a different dress style, and while I love the print and colors in it, I passed on the other style. I'm glad I passed on it, and that they released the print in the Gilda. It was also on sale when I bought it, for only $25. I was disappointed when I received it though, because the zipper was broken. It had been sewn in incorrectly on on side of the dress, and made it impossible to zip all the way up. I contacted LB, and they refund half of what I spent, so I got $12.50 refunded. Bob fixed the zipper for me on the sewing machine, and now it zips!
But, the first time I tried it on with the functionining zipper, the the top two buttons popped right off. The dress came with one replacement button, which I sewed on. So, I'll be wearing it like I am in these pictures, with no top button on it. It's annoying that LB does not have the best quality. You get what you pay for, I suppose.
The almost neon/citrusy colors in the cocktail glasses in this print pair so well with my orange, yellow, & lime Bakelite.
Also in the pictures below is a picture of me wearing my new Trashy Diva ribbed rayon Fontaine coat that I scored for half off during their recent ribbed rayon sale, and a close up of the front of my hair last night. I lucked out with my hair! It's always random for me with my hair, ha, if I can get it to turn out decent or not when I'm styling it after it's been curled.
I LOVE my Fontaine coat. It's not very heavy, so it's not practical to wear when it's really cold out, but I think it's so gorgeous and flattering. Before getting the Fontaine, I had no vintage repro coats at all. I'm glad I now have one in my arsenal. It just buttons over my chest though, and when I first put it on, I wasn't sure if I'd be able to get it buttoned there.

Hello there! Today is such a gorgeous day out! It's going to be 75 degrees & very sunny. It's the perfect day to walk around New Hope with my husband, for his birthday! We are getting there around noon. It's such a pretty town, with lots of little shops and restaurants. I'm sure it'll be crowded today. This is probably the best/warmest day we've had since the fall! We are going to sit outside and have lunch. I just love sitting outside as much as possible, when it's beautiful out. When we're done in New Hope, we're heading over to a town about half an hour from there, to meet some of his friends for dinner and drinks, and tomorrow evening we'll be having cake with his family.
I'm not actually wearing the outfit today that is in the pictures below. (I'll be wearing a Harley Pin Up Girl Clothing dress today.) But, this Modcloth Bea & Dot cupcake dress is too darn cute! I'm so glad I've been able to take lots of outside pictures lately! The lighting is just sooo much better than taking them in my kitchen!

Hello there! Bob and I are having a quiet day in today. I'm going to work out, and just read and watch TV. I'm excited for "Downton Abbey" tonight! And "Better Call Saul" premieres tonight, as well. Can't wait for that, too. It's the "Breaking Bad" spin-off. I'm sure it won't be as good as "Breaking Bad", but hopefully it's decent.
In the pictures below I'm wearing one of my Pin Up Girl Clothing harlequin dresses. I have two, and I like my other one (which has brighter colours) better than this one. But, I do still really like this one, and just am obsessed with harlequin prints in general. I got this Betsey Johnson ice cream clutch about a year ago, and I think it is just so darn cute! It's the only Betsey Johnson item I've ever owned, but, it is of course right up my alley. I was excited to discover my lobster necklace matches perfectly with this dress! Sice the lobsters are a dark red, close to a burgundy shade, they don't match with a lot of my dresses which are more bright red.
