Checks and Wings

Got to be excited about a new suit right? This one's not quite right in winter since it's rayon instead of wool, but on a warmer day? Why not. It has snowed again since, so I'll be layering up in wool once more.

I paired this lovely vintage suit with matching navy blue accessories, golden tan gloves, and a brushed gold owl brooch. With my Royal Vintage brown and white Peggy heels, the ensemble was fun to wear, but I'm not sure this suit is exactly a perfect fit. I may need to cut back on the cookies a bit for it to lie totally smooth, but I really do love me a nice cookie so eh? Sometimes it's hard to have your vintage suit and eat your cookie too, but I'll endeavor to make it work ;) The years where I used to torture myself about that kinda thing are thankfully over. Finding vintage items that really truly fit is always a challenge, which is why I usually rely on sewing to make most of my vintage dream clothing items a reality. I've had a couple of vintage buying hits recently, and a few wobbles, but when you are ordering online you really just never know what things will actually fit like when they get to your door. I've got a lovely 1940s rayon dress to show you soon if it will just warm up enough I can wear it without freezing!

I actually managed to do a tiny bit of sewing this week, turning an old dress into a skirt since I'd never been happy with how the bodice fit. Gotta salvage a project if you can! Other than that it has been writing, writing, and more writing. One day I hope to share my fiction work with you all too, but we'll have to see. For now writing for myself is enough, because when it's this fun I just can't stop ;)
