Outfit Details: Dress & Hat: Vintage - will be in store//tights & necklace: Modcloth//Shoes: Thrifted
The other week, my good friend Kat (who might I add is one of the most genuine souls I've ever met), and I decided to day trip off to a charming little town called Lewisburg to relish a day full of antique treasures and relics from the days of yore. It was a full day of eye candy both for the heart and soul and what I wound up with was bags full of vintage dresses with the most delightful little collars.
In the last antique shop we hit, the cutest little old lady, who was one of the vendors there approached me and told me she had something she thought I would love. Of course I was intrigued. She went on to tell me that she had these little silk stockings from the 1950s tucked away where no one could find them and that she was hoping the right person would come along and really appreciate them. Well, she got me hook, line, and sinker....they surely won my heart and will certainly be treasured. How could I pass up little silk stockings with embroidered poodles?
Anyhow, twas one loverly day with one loverly gal and lots of loverly vintage darlings. Hoping there will be plenty more gal-pallin day trips in our future:)
Catch you later,

*blush blush* I must say the company that day made the day magical and I had the best teacher for consignment v. Thrifting 101!! I feel super priveledged to get to know your more and to have made it into one of your sweet blogs :) the compliment was one that brought me great joy and is tucked away in my heart for those times I feel dreary. The photography was, as always, spot on for telling a story but I am pleasantly surprised at my turn behind the shutter! Mad love to you my soul friend :)
ReplyDeleteLove you Kat! Your comment made my heart melt a bit here. I simply couldn't be more grateful that our paths crossed and that I have found a true blue friend in you. (This means the world to me like you'll never know). I look forward to all the adventures that lie ahead:)

oh goodness how beautiful are your tights! and that dress is perfection!! oh how I wish I could have one like that! you look really beautiful in red. and oh how sweet of that little lady to give you a little treasure like that! they are too adorable. I can really relate to that too because a lady gave me a pillow she had hand sewn from an old Christmas sweater. it's embellished with tiny little lights and beads on the Christmas tree and sequins on the presents. I know you will certainly cherish those stockings as much as I do this pillow :).
