I bought these unworn, never-opened vintage 50s light-weight cotton pajamas for $22.00 USD! I love how they are still in their original packaging! I have not gotten these yet! I cannot wait for them to arrive! I need these since I am traveling to Boca Raton, Florida for Thanksgiving and the weather will be warm and most of my pajamas are flannel.
I just HAD to get this beauty! It is a vintage, early 60s eggshell-colored beaded sweater that got for $13.11 USD! I can see this going with so many things from pencil skirts, circle skirts, and pants!
This late 50s wool skirt fits like a dream! I got it for $36.00 USD and it's in pristine condition! It looks great with cardigans, turtleneck sweaters, or blouses.
Even though this skirt fits a little big, I had to have it! This vintage 1950s wool skirt has a great geometric plaid print! It is a study wool and perfect for winter! I paid $22.99 USD. It looks fabulous with white, cream, red, and black!
This red, green, and black plaid skirt from the 50s is thick and heavy! I am so warm in this! Despite its weight, it hangs nicely when worn. I wore it on Election day with a black turtleneck from Forever 21. I paid just $18.00 USD! Love!
So, what have you girls bought lately? Please share!
Great skirts!!! That blue and grey one is really nice!
ReplyDeleteI shop way too much on Etsy. It's like if it's in my Favorites I feel like it's my personal shopping list! Sometimes it really gets out of hand!
I LOVE the PJs! How fabulous...
ReplyDeleteSadly I'm on a total buying ban :o( The recession has hit my business hard so it's food and mortgage only for me at the moment!
Ooh, I love all the plaids! I just went shopping on Etsy yesterday and posted some of my finds - you were one of them!
ReplyDeleteI didn't buy any clothes/jewelry - but bought a flapper figurine from Mitzi's Collectibles. I have this thing for the 1920's...
Wow!! I never have this good of luck buying vintage online (hence the reason I have to resort to sewing all my vintage looks). Way to go, and the prices are a steal, how could you not buy them? ;)
ReplyDeleteTrixie,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments! I am wearing one of my new skirts today. I agree that Etsy favorites are dangerous! My husband tells me to stop buying so he can have something to buy me for the holidays! lol! I literally could buy EVERYTHING in my favorites right now. Like you said, it's dangerous!
Fiona,
ReplyDeleteI think I need to do a self-imposed buying ban! I often feel tempted to buy when I do not need it!
Susan,
ReplyDeleteThanks! I love the 20s too but I am "at home" in the 40s and 50s! I had a bob haircut for long time ala Louise Brooks! I love the beaded dresses and the gamine style of the 20s! I have 20s reproduction, black beaded dress overlay. It is so pretty and so heavy! I wore the dress over a long rust-colored tank lining for Halloween in 2006 and 2007.
Barbara,
ReplyDeleteI WISH I could sew better than I do! That's why I buy vintage. For example, I was making a simple circle skirt this weekend using cotton madras plaid fabric and when it came to hemming, I stopped. I have no idea what I am doing! Cutting the pattern, stitching the sides, making the waistband, and filling the waist with elastic was all easy but that circle hem is beyond me. I need to research how to hem the skirt without ruining it!
As for the prices, I used to be very frivolous when it came to buying. Now, I am all about the 'deal.' I really cannot believe I bought the beaded sweater for 13.11 USD!!
Great buys!! I love the sweater!!
ReplyDeleteOooh! They're all so cute. I love the '60s top. =D

I love those plaid skirts, especially the blue and grey one!
ReplyDeleteI'm supposed to be on a "no buy" right now, but somehow I ended up with a new pair of 40s platforms! Of course, I justified my purchase by reasoning that the shoes will replace another pair of mine that are really too delicate to wear. I think that’s a valid excuse, don’t you? :-)
Holly,
ReplyDeleteIsn't that sweater gorgeous! And to think I got it for just over 13 bucks! I was floored!
Andi,
ReplyDeleteThe sweater is the best deal I have found in a long time! I am about it get it any day now! I cannot wait to pair it with my new skirts!
Jitterbugdoll,
ReplyDeleteI hear ya! That is a good excuse to buy! lol! I have a pair of black suede Stuart Weitzman platform heels that I have had for over 4 years. They have been repaired once already and they are starting to show wear. I think I may have to justify a new shoe purchase myself! :)
