This Sunday was my birthday!
Woot Woot!
Finally got that IPOD to use those
awesome photo apps!
Other than birthday awesomeness in general
and a very close call with a tornado...
I did have time to find a few things
at a church sale
and a stop at The Goodwill
fashion was the theme for the weekend...
Found this great traditional Mexican style dress
$4.00
Lovely hand embroidery
Dilemma however...
Belt or no?
The thing with some of these dresses is they
look like sacks sometimes.
I think it would even look great with jeans...
see the two little birds?
love the little mushrooms...
The bunch of violets is faded and a bit chippy but that's why I like it...
$3.00
The large cameo is a piece of 1928 mother and child design
$2.00
The locket is real sterling/marcasite with mother of pearl
$3.95
Few yards of this cute fabric...
I'm thinking it is from the 70's
for .99 cents!
Would probably make a nice light blanket material...
any ideas?
Happy Monday!
Love the dress. I never thought to put a belt with it and I do like it that way. Updates it. Also, love, love the violets pin!
ReplyDeleteThe embroidered dress is wonderful, I'd wear it with a wide belt, leather boots and an armload of bangle bracelets!
ReplyDeleteLovely jewelry finds as well, I like the chippy violet brooch. :)
Those are some really great finds. That dress is really neat! I think I would wear it with a skinny braided belt. $4 is such a great deal!
