Outfit Post: Fourth of July

#SHOPSECONDHANDFIRST 75% Thrifted. 80% Vintage. 100% American.



It was a mellow Fourth of July- but I did manage to wear my favorite color combo for summer. Red, white and blue, something vintage, something new. 

And visible enough to link up with the mesmerizing Patti over at Not Dead Yet Style. 

Don't forget Shoe Shine is this WEDNESDAY! 

So snap a pic of you in your favorite kicks and post them here on Wednesday, July 10th

Now Wearing: 
  • vintage 1950s red cardigan, available here

    I do like the red, white, and blue color combo. How nice you have such a healthy lilac tree (I never had any luck with them there). Don't they smell just divine?

    Bella, you are doing patriotic dressing justice!
    The cotton dress, the vintage metal flower brooch and your longer locks are the my favorite parts!

    I found your blog via VaVoom Vintage. I was asking about blogs of 40+ vintage fashion and I ended up here.
    So - you don't look like "40". You look young and sexy. I am 39 and I feel sexier than when I was 20, far from being old and dead. So thanks for our blog.
    Also - I got a few retro inspired dresses and I was second guessing if I look like a fool and if I should just wear "age appropriate" clothes. It turned out I got the same dress as you from eshakti. I call it Popeys dress :-)
    You look amazing in it! I am so happy to see it on someone my age.
