A Desperate Housewife !


" You damn kids get out of my yard ! "
OK, I'm in the thick of it now. I'm taking a break from clearing out my "playroom" (YIKES) and am running on pure caffeine, sugar and creativity. I wish I was Sabrina the Witch. Dinkle, Dinkle, (that's the sound my nose would make) , and Poof !!! Clutter be gone :) I want to hurry the clearing part so I can get to the fun stuff of decorating. Patience, Grasshopper........
I am gonna eat a real meal sometime tonight, I promise. This is my version of how I'd look as a 50's (ish) housewife. I couldn't find any pointy-toed pumps, so Banana Republic knock-off vintage 70's will have to do. I am documenting said "project". Then you will really see how nuts I am ;) So now for your viewing enjoyment, More images :)  I gotta go!................
The last one is how I'd really wear this get-up :)...... I think.............
It's a skirt over a fitted dress, belted with a vintage scarf.
Dress: thrifted - Skirt: Merona,thrifted - Scarf as belt: Vintage - Bracelets: Vintage - Sunnies: Vintage - Earrings: Big Lots ;)
A big thanks to Kathryn, for helping me find my waist and create one as well :)
Can you believe they still sell candy cigarettes ??? Me neither ! Got these at Walgreen's.
Boo, World Confections, Inc !!! I used to buy these as a kid in the 70's and felt so cool. When u blew on them a puff of "smoke" (sugar dust) came out.
 Just another way big tobacco got me.( Excuse ;) I bet RJReynold's owns this company as well ...................
Yay to Hershey's ;)
Mmmm.............
Technically, it's now Thursday, so happy belated Hump Day :)
(Hi, Honey ! Have a great day <3)

RETRO - ISH / Floral Skirt and Cardi

Notice a Theme ? 


I didn't at first , then it hit me .


It started with this thrifted skirt, Originally from Pier One. ( When they sold clothes )


A light , Springy cardigan to match.


A polka-dotted scarf to play off the dots in the skirt.


Then my new fav. tights with sox.


Black ballet flats.


And these funky faux glasses from the W-word place. ( If u wear contacts, these are so great as I always need clear lenses to combat the wind. )


I was truly in this line of thought :


A Banana.


Colorful Cereal Skirt , with Dots.



A polka dotted scarf to match.


My tights.


Fun and Funky shades , kinda retro.



My old ballet flats.



Then it hit me . The lady-like style , with the hour-glassy fit of the cardi and full skirt.



I was Fifties Retro Style with a Modern Twist !
