At the very last minute today, I decided to go up to Dunn and hit some thrift stores that I had never been to before. First stop, Beacon Thrift Store. I was immedietely drawn to a large shelf full of sewing patterns. One look and I spotted this:
an old vintage-style Simplicity skirt pattern. Circa 1960's? Not sure of the pattern's date but I LOVE it! I want to try!! It reminded me of a Louis Vuitton line from Fashion Week that I just about went crazy over when I saw it in Elle magazine.
I love the bowed shoes. Classic vintage. I wonder if I could pull this off? I was afraid the pattern would be very worn and hard to read, but it's in great condition. It almost looks like it hasn't been used. For 25cents, I have a great inspiration and project on my hands. Added it to my list of Pastime Projects.
My second find at Beacon thrift store was a beautiful coffee table. It needs a little TLC but I'm so excited about it! I'm picking it up tomorrow so I'll add pictures this weekend. Another project!
I really love the dress on the top right and you could definitely pull it off! You always look beautiful and classy!
