T is for Toadstool

 Outfit Details: Dress: Atomic Vintage // Scarf: Thrited // Belt: Vintage from Mother // Tights: Modcloth // Shoes: Seychelles







Why hello there darlings!

These are photos from a day the Mr. and I had all to ourselves.  Days like these are kind of few and far between, so we like to take advantage of every last second of them.  So as the sun was shining and the fall air was as warm and inviting as ever, we moseyed through the countryside taking up another opportunity to poke around this curious green door we found months back.  It's made an appearance on here once before, and from the information I gathered, we found out it was an old bomb shelter.  Since we first saw it, friends of ours actually got a chance to speak with the owners and take a peek inside.  Sadly, it did not lead to an underground dwelling like the one in "Blast from the Past" (anybody remember this movie?)  But still, it was interesting to just see photos of the cold, dark, & creepy interior.

On a completely different note - I wanted to tell you about a new blogger collective that I am a part of called Flock Together.  It consists of 9 vintage adoring, photography loving  gals (including me)  from across the country who will be swapping clothing with one another, remixing to their heart's content, taking on this personal style challenge while still being frugal.

Pop on by say hello and follow along on our adventuring if you do so fancy.


Until next time!
Love Bunches,

  39. I know I already commented on this but I just wanted to answer your sewing question, and if you're anything like me, you would never see a reply under the question on my blog haha! I was first very wary of hemming pleats, but it was actually super simple, way easier than a dress with a really full skirt. I just folded up the bottom like usual and sewed a straight stitch, nothing special, and I didn't iron the pleats or anything after. I actually really like the look because the pleats become slightly flared out on the bottom. I cannot wait to see the dress you found, so cool that its almost the same print in different colors! I hope you have an awesome weekend!
