Feeling the Winter Blues

My favorite outfit of mine for the Spring!!! It screams ...Snow White or a young Miss Taylor dress

OH Dear!!!!! I knew this was going to happen again!

As soon as the first month and a half of winter passes by ...i start looking into my spring wardrobe and I start to have the winter blues!!!!

My favorite time of year is spring and summer ...I love wear colorful dresses, flower hats.... basket handbags!!! ...

Since my room is all spring like... I miss the warm sun already!!!!

I know I'm kind of getting a head start but I'm getting inspired from these 1940's and 50's pictures!

Since my new years resolution is to sew ...maybe I should pick one of these to *try* to make hahaha!!!

Love As Always

Vintage Beach Outfit Post: Day 1 & 2 Summer Dreams

Hello My Lovely Vintage Lovers!

I'm sorry for the lack of blogging, I was on vaca.... Virginia Beach!

I got some neat pictures to share!

The first two days me and my family went on the beach! The first day was really cloudy and the water was cold and it was raining on and off! Bummer...

But the second day was really pretty it was sunny and warm! ...No rain! ha ha!!

The first day I worn this cute vintage inspired bathing suit and I put my hair up in a turban!

( I will be doing this 'hair how to' on my 5 minute Beach Do!)

I was sorta worried that since my hair was shorter it will be harder to put it up, but it was fine & easy!!!!!!

The second day out on the beach, I worn a Vintage 1950's Swimsuit!

All I have To Say Was...

Comfortable Comfortable Comfortable!!

This is my new vintage bathing suit and its my fave!! I hate how modern bathing suits have like this Lycra stretchy material and it gets you really hot... This is made out of silky cotton and its so breathable!! I just love it!!!

I had a cute little pink vintage scarf and I put a vintage beach hat on! With aqua blue cat eye glasses to match!!!

I also had Makeup that was water proof so when I went swimming it still was on!

I was def ready for the beach!!!

Although.. no tan ha ha!!! I was still ready!.. Good thing I didn't burn!

I hope your having a fab summer!!

Next post My Vintage Shopping in Richmond Virginia!
