Sunday Dress

i bought this dress in seattle two months ago. for some reasons i was waiting for a special occasion to wear it the first time. today was a beautiful bright summer sunday and i felt this might be the perfect day to wear it to the flea market ... 50s dress: lucky dry goods, seattle // vintage belt: thrifted  (sadly the loop got lost today) // 50s straw hat: thrifted, somewhere in oregon // dragon fly brooch: flea market // wedges: c&a // h&m bag: flea market ... 

this dress could turn into my new fav dress. it's perfect and you can mix it with almost every colour. ... today on the flea market i found a pair of crocheted yellow gloves. they looked amazing with the dress but it got so hot again that i even had to get rid of my hat ... (i changed into my new headband/bow thing - i got the day before) ... so, i didn't thought about adding gloves to this outfit.

next to the gloves i found a couple of marilyn monroe books, a sewing magazine from the early 50s, a few vintage pieces and some repro/vintage style pieces ... i'm doing much better in my new city as i supposed to do.

Little Walk

a simple and comfy summery look perfect to go for a little walk ... 50s sundress: ebay // studded 80s belt: flea market // flats: primark // straw bag: flea market //  bracelets: thrifted ... hidden in the bag sat a little cardi matching the colour of the purple bangle. he never made it out that day.

Office Girl ... Job Interview

one day last week i went to my first job interview in the new city ... i tried to find a mix of 50s style and still looking professional ... cardi: primark // light peachy coloured dress: orsay (i bought this one to wear it on job interviews - 15€ on sale!) // belt: came with a top // vintage flats: thrifted // 40s bag: ebay ... today i wear the same because in a few minutes i leave the house to be interviewed again.

are you able to wear your vintage looks at work?

Spaghetti

... this is me today. i spent most of the day in, working on the computer ... going out tonight to see eddie spaghetti at bassy club ... cardi: primark (no surprise) // my newest 50s dress: wowsville garage sale // vintage belt: thrifted // vintage shoes: thrifted in the states // 40s bag: ebay (probably i will use another one later ...) // bamboo bracelets: thrifted ... since the man told me i have to go by subway to the concert, i even think about changing into flat shoes ... probably i end up wearing something else ... hahaha.

Wowmarket

the man and i went to a 'garage sale' at a bar around the corner yesterday. the gingham dress,the black and the striped top i got from one vendor, an american girl that sold a lot of great true vintage stuff from the states for so little money. she had a lot more of beautiful dresses but those were far too small around my bust (who wants to have big boobs, if you can have lovely tiny dresses). the 50s tops i got from another girl. those are so great and dead stock! sadly - as everytime with these kind of tops - they don't fit that great ... after the market i went to my first hairdresser appointment in the new city ...

and i like my new hairdresser. i think, she really did a good job on dying and cutting my hair ... this is what i wore ... fav summer blouse: vintage c&a, flea market // 50s skirt: made in berlin vintage (last summer) // belt: came with a top // wedges: c&a // bag: flea market // purple bracelet: thrifted

Summer Wine

when i found this dress on last sunday's flea market i started singing these words right away: 'strawberries, cherries and an angel´s kiss in spring, my summer wine is really made from all these things.' ... vintage cardi: beacon's closet, ny // 70s rockabilly dress: nowkoelln flowmarkt // vintage belt: came with a skirt // pettycoat: ebay // shoes: gabor // h&m bag: flea market // fakealite bracelet: nowkoelln flowmarkt

Girl With The Watermelon

yes, today i ended up posing with a watermelon ... maybe because the red of this dress reminds me of the inside of a watermelon ... 50s cotton dress: ebay // belt: came with a blouse // sandals: no name // bandana: thrifted, deadstock ...

i bought this dress a long while ago on ebay with some other pieces but i never wore it. i won it for 1 €. it's a real 50s dress that never got finished! so i had to do a lot of sewing on it.

oh, and thanks for more than 500 followers on GFC (thanks for being still there)! it means a lot. 

Summer Black

 

 

the big heat wave is over, so i was able to wear my dear knit skirt ... 40s inspired 70s cotton blouse: thrifted, goodwill // vintage skirt: thrifted // hand made belt: istanbul // two tone shoes: bleyle // 50s bag: vintage yard sale // bamboo bracelets: thrifted

Inspiration From The Past // August 1961

i found this little sewing magazine with some others in a antique store somewhere in washington state ... i  really like the dresses from the early 60s. please excuse the wrinkles in the pictures but they have been there already when i found it.

New Stairway ...

 

... welcome to my newest photo set ... we changed the sublet ... 50s embroidered blouse: vintage yard sale // vintage circle skirt: ebay // vintage belt: came with a dress // sandals: gabor, birthday gift // straw bag: flea market // head band/scarf: thrifted ...

we found our own (sublet) flat quite fast ... now we have a tiny home that gives us enough room to life, to write job applications, to work on future plans ... and we can stay as long as we have found our own place (this is not that easy in this city).

60s Bike

 

yesterday i tried to find a new photo set in the house with our sublet flat ... so far so good, for a while you will find me taking pictures in this worn out staircase ... 50s blouse: flea market // 50s skirt: ebay // gabor sandals: birthday gift from my mum // bamboo bangle: antique mall // earrings: flea market

yeah, i have found a new bike. it's from the 60s ... nothing to win a race with but good enough to cruise through the streets of my new city.

Before The Rain ...

this is what i wore on super hot saturday for having a couple of beers in the evening ... vintage dress: ebay // vintage aigner belt: thrifted // wedges: old c&a // bag: flea market // bamboo bangle: antique mall, puyallap ... while the hubby shot these pictures the first tiny - but refreshing - rain drops came down ... i hadn't seen rain for a while.

Belated: Getrödelt, Gefunden, Gefreut ... Little Blue Hat

this little hat got found in a thrift store somewhere 'between' washington state and oregon. it was hidden under a bunch of magazines the hubby was going through and it cost cute 1,99 dollars ... i found several ways to wear it and i can't wait to take it to the streets ...

does anyone of you know something about the producers 'wilson's chicago' or 'juli-kay'?

sorry, i was without internet the last few days ... because of this i do a late version of getrödelt, gefunden, gefreut july... besser spät als nie.
