Lazy Saturday Afternoon


I've spent the afternoon in my pj's working on some sewing projects and going cross-eyed looking through Flickr groups like this one. I finally, finally altered a vintage bathing suit that I bought last summer. It's red, white and blue, from the 50's and perfectly all-American nostalgic. I haven't decided if the ol' world wide web gets to see me in a bathing suit just yet so no photos for you. Yikes! Tomorrow we're off on a road trip adventure to Maryland. I'm sure to return with tons of photos. Those you'll get to see!

I do love these old photos. This one inspires me to don my knee high socks and a drop-waisted dress – though it'd need tights and a biiiig coat at the moment!

At first I thought the girl on the right was puffing a cigar. Which seemed oddly fitting!

Can't wait to see some pics of the bathing suit!

I love retro bathing suit pics from Flickr!
Although these ladies remind me of the girls from Some Like it Hot, in a run-around-the-beach-drinking-and-chasing-millionaires way.

Love the blog, and your dogwood tattoo is a-maz-ing!

Such an awesome, decadent photo. I love photoes where the subjects seem to be having an awesome time.

I've also picked you for a Brillante Weblog Award. I think your blog is really inspiring. See my post for details (it's kind of like a tagging thing)

you could just take a picture of the swimsuit if you're really uncomfortable taking a picture of you wearing it.

Thanks for all of your comments!

Anonymous: I wish I could help out but I haven't been to any of the thrift stores in Philly (I live about an hour outside of the city). When ever I go to a new place I use Google or Yelp to find cool places to go. Maybe she can try that. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

l. : Thanks! I'll be sure to check it out.

For all of you that inquired, I've posted a photo of the bathing suit in my new post. Thanks again!
