Spandextacular

 

This is a vintage Italian - yeah that's right- wool dress that was part of my mom's clothing collection. Paired with some flashy jewelry and hat from Keiran's extensive collection - origin unknown. Rocking the overall classy granny here - works well - optional accessory = some sort of fancy baby carriage or military husband.

Awesome 80s are back. A polyester plaid jacket with some fantastic velvet appointments. Leggings essential, guitar and fedora optional.

Thinking hard in this vintage purple mod pea coat - buttons replaced as necessary. Fur hat from Afghanistan courtesy Keiran's father k-dog. Necklace from target. Style from the Gods.

 Knit + Windbreaker jacket - Who Knew! -  from Ragstock and knitted pink miniskirt and leggings. Definitely getting into some concerts with this on - all you need is that facial expression and a lot cigarettes to give away.

Minus jacket, plus scarf. Scarf sewn end to end for an inifinite loop. You never have to worry what to do with the two ends again! That's what I call innovation.

If there are words for this, they are probably in a different language. Headband: piece of ripped cloth. Poncho: God only knows.

The bookworm look. A zany cardigan with an all spandex cast. Nerdy, yet sexy...sex nerd?

Love,

Nora

A Closet Casserole

My lovely sister has come over, allowing me to dress her up in some vintage wear from our Grandmother's basement, such as this dress.

We then paired a velvet jacket (again from the treasure trove of beloved Grams) with a denim strapless and red high heels. Plus, no better accessory than a cold beer, right? JK, empty bottle.

On to a 70s (the sleeves give it away) knitted blouse tucked into a pseudo pencil skirt. Netted hat to complete the look, a rare thing to happen. I wish I'd had the sense to not photograph this shirt next to a blue wall, but I think the floating head look is in anyway...

And then we got a little crazy. My dad actually got this wolf fur hat for me in Afghanistan, and look how well it matches my old prom dress! The stole is definitely not fur, but it's definitely perfect.

This dress is nowhere near vintage, but it has the weight of those 70s polyester getups. Makings for a good winter dress. If you'll notice,that album really describes those earrings.

This is a part of a dress outfit my dad brought back from Afghanistan. It had been long sleeved and came with a long skirt, but the burka look doesn't suit me, so it's been tailored a bit. Accessories straight out of Goodwill, which makes me sad for some little girl's Egyptian dance costume.

And finally, before my sister grew tired of me standing on my bed with a camera in her face, asking her to put on a mask and hold a dead flower, we get a simple little outfit. Pink cotton balloon dress, which I tailored a little bit, with another 70s cardigan (Dang, sweater. Nice Sleeves!) in white. Hoorah.
