Clothes

I recently visited one of the bigger thrift stores in Eugene and made some great finds. I took pictures of one of the finds and it inspired me to take pictures of one other outfit that I really love. Maybe more pictures of my wardrobe to come! I've been kind of routine with what I wear, and I'm ready to bust out of that for summer. A while ago I pretty much stopped wearing jeans, but now I have a pair of hip hugger cargo pants that I've gotten in the habit of wearing. They're very practical (I don't have to carry a purse with all the pockets!) but I miss feeling elegant, which sometimes happens when I put more thought into my clothes :)

This is a vintage designer suit from Samuel Winston, by Roxane from the 1950s of 1960s. I found other suits by the same designer in the 1950s with an ORIGINAL price tag of $459! It's all wool and feels very light and soft, perfect for spring. This was literally the third or fourth piece of clothing I looked at on the rack and I knew immediately that I should buy it, and I had a feeling it fit me (though I tried it on, of course!). It has a third tag that says "Nicholas Ungar," which is the name of a retail store in Portland, Oregon, that Nordstrom bought and renamed in 1966. 

With the jacket on. 

Jacket, $4 yardsale (first vintage thing I bought). Hat, $2, thrift store.

 Shoes $40, eBay. Leather purse, $6, thrift store. 

One of my absolute favorite dresses. I want to learn how to 

copy this so I can make more in other colors and fabrics! It is

vintage but I don't know how old it is. 

Dress, $7, thrift store.  Shoes, $40, eBay. 

I love the buttons! There's a button on the belt, too.
