My Vintage Tea Party
Ramblings and Reviews From a Lover of Tea and All Things Vintage
This weekend was an adventure. Me, my mother, and grandmother went up to Huntsville to do some shopping so of course I had to take along something both cute and comfortable. The dress is a lucky find from Talbots, and I believe it pairs perfectly with a belt for a splash of color. I'm kind of known for gravitating toward black and red-- even though pink is my favorite color, black and red is my favorite color combo to wear. The purse is something I bought the previous evening at this fantastic shop at Hunstville's Bridge Street shopping center called Retro Fitt. They sell a large variety of retro and vintage inspired clothing, shoes, and accessories, so I highly recommend it if you're ever in the area! I'm not sure if you can see it, but I am also wearing a little rhinestone crown pin. I have a weakness for pins/brooches...they really can make an outfit more fun. I could kick myself for not getting a picture of my hair, but I'm wearing my hair in a ponytail (I do that a lot. It takes minimal effort, and young ladies sported ponytails quite often in the mid century) topped off with a red rose clip. Since there's not a good picture, I guess you'll just have to take my word for it. I did bring along a red cardigan to sort of finish off the look, but the weather was in the upper 90s so actually wearing it was simply, and unfortunately, not an option. I had my mother take pictures of my outfit at a fun antique store called University Pickers. The owner of the stall I was in (they had all kinds of snacks and drinks) made their area look like an old fashioned store complete with tables and chairs that are similar to the ones you would see in ice cream parlors long ago. The lighting was not the best for a mini photo shoot, and I'm afraid it resulted in some unflattering shadows on my face.
I really hope to do outfit posts more often in the near future so do stay tuned!
