It's time for a random livejournal post, apparently!
I'm on the hunt for a vintage wiggle dress that fits and is work-appropriate. I have two amazing wiggle dresses already, but I've come to accept that they're too small, so I'll probably end up selling them in my etsy shop this summer. I'm very, very picky, so I was surprised to fall pretty damn hard for two different dresses on etsy yesterday. I should probably hold off until after the weekend (for various reasons, vintage-shopping being one of them), but eventually I'm going to have to choose between these guys:
Is the ric-rac trim too much? I kind of love it! http://www.etsy.com/listing/72172513/sweet-and-sexy-1950s-cotton-candy-pink
This one would need to go to the tailor for the too-large bust (what else is new), and I'm really bad about that, but ohhhhh lord the details are too special. Perfect colors, and the trapunto flowers are killing me: http://www.etsy.com/listing/71288176/vintage-embroidered-powder-blue-harou
Your input is greatly appreciated; I'll need some help making this difficult choice!
Also, David bought me my first new pair of glasses since high school, as a belated birthday present! I wish I could show you the hilariously outdated "before" frames for comparison, but here's a somewhat blurry candid shot that Dave took of me on the way to work that shows the new ones. I love them!
Also, both Twitter and Blogspot are being jerks today, but you can find me there usually - just a reminder. I'm MissHiccup on Twitter, and my blog is at Miss Hiccup's Vintage. I still stop by and read your journals regularly, by the way!
