TFW you discover a dress that’s been languishing in your unlisted inventory for *years*…is a Ceil Chapman. 😳

Day 16 of #thevintagefashionchallenge: Necessities. Technically only my glasses or contacts are necessary, but my #RayBans, my phone, and lip goo run a close tie for second. Lip color—any color as long as it’s red—is the least necessary, but…yeah. You understand.

Day 15 of #thevintagefashionchallenge is headwear. I love hats, really I do (fig. 1), but you’re more likely to find me with my hair twisted up out of the way and speared with one of these jumbo combs (fig. 2). I also love a good turban/wrap but got tired of the running commentary at the office. Today I wore a snood and it’s bad enough dealing with that inevitable cubicle chatter.

#DrinkWink #thesassyone (Yeah, I know, it’s missing The Sassy One acetate. Us folks on a budget seek out the slightly damaged jobbies.)

Getting a head start on day 14 of #thevintagefashionchallenge: hair. For about 10 years, I dyed my hair black on top and (usually) bleach blonde underneath. For a hot minute back in 2015, I—with @bakelitebloodhound‘s help—accidentally turned the underside into rainbow sherbet. This is what happened when I put that up in a sort of loopy poodle-’do. Lemons : lemonade. The second photo is from my senior year of high school, because NJ in the ’80s, perms, and Frost-n-Tip. Hair by @kimrobibero, 📷 by @mandaruth17. I still have those puka shells!

Day 12 of #thevintagefashionchallenge is black/white/neutrals, and what’s more neutral than denim, amirite? Repro overalls by La Pachuca from…what year, @roxy_tart?

Dinner with friends last night, lunch with friends today, Mother’s Day brunch tomorrow. So this is pretty much my weekend. #everettcollection

My “real” post for #thevintagefashionchallenge Purple day, finally. I love this skirt, which I picked up as a project (no waistband, no zipper) from an estate sale for $2. I finished it off myself and have been wearing it for years, definitely got my money’s worth! The lilacs are in a neighbor’s yard, and they’re extra lovely this year.

I am wearing purple today for #thevintagefashionchallenge but until I manage to get a photo, this will serve as placeholder. I enjoyed discovering the synchronicity of these 8-years-apart photos this morning!
