Last Week's Treasures:



This week i was more intrigued by the things i found while thrifting rather than the things i actually bought. Tom found this old baby shower invitation in an old book he was looking through. I love old invitations & greeting cards. My favorite part is the stamp on the envelope promoting war bonds. so awfully interesting...

Outfit Post // Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon



This is what i like to call my Eastern European dress. I purchased it at an estate sale a while back, not knowing if it would fit me or not.  It is a very odd cut too. I will admit it took me a while to learn how i was supposed to wear it. There are no zippers or buttons, but lots of strings to tie. Anyways, i wore this out to baby sit my nephew. He literally slept the whole time, so tom & i just hung out and watched movies.



Outfit Details:
Dress: Estate Sale
Necklace: Forever 21
Nesting Doll: St. Petersburg, Russia

This is a nesting doll i got my sister as a souvenir from russia. oh how i miss that place.

this into that









1. heels : modcloth  //  2. dress : urban outfitters  3. handbag: ruche


It is pretty fascinating that a dress made over forty years is still being replicated nowadays. Dresses with cutouts & bows are very popular and seem so fresh this summer season, but as it turns out, its old news. Either way, both of these dresses are lovely & do not require much accessorizing.
