What I'm Wearing




dress: vintage (Zap & Co., Lancaster, PA)
purse: vintage (Salvation Army, PA)
shoes: vintage (Slow on Melrose, Los Angeles, CA)
sunglasses: vintage (Root's Market, PA)

There's a lovely vintage store in town called Zap & Co. that I go into frequently. I always browse through the racks but have never found anything to take home with me. Most of the clothes are quite old, from the 20's, 30's and 40's, and too delicate for everyday sort of wear. The last time I went in, I saw this dress and my heart skipped a beat. It nearly jumped off the rack and into my hands. Luckily it fits like a charm. I think I'm in love!

I love the asymmetrical buttons and the checkered pattern. Great find!

The style of your "what I wore" pictures is really nice btw. They have a really nostalgic quality. :)

Dotti said...

And: Funny, I also was a checkered girl today.

You always have the best photos. And that dress.....wow. Nice job lady, you look great. And i love those vests. Another word you might try is ethnic, I have found some great vests from india and other countries.

Loving the way the buttons were crafted onto the dress. And the pattern is so quaint!

That's very beautiful. If you don't mind my asking, what is the fabric like?

Thanks for all of the lovely comments!

Cammila: There is no tag on the dress (it's home sewn if you can believe it!) but if feels like a rayon fabric.

Sally Jane Vintage said...

I use a Canon Powershot SD 1000 (it's just a snapshot camera) and Photoshop. Thanks!
