I got this dress years ago in Akron Ohio for 10 cents. This vintage girl was going to travel so she was selling basically everything she had, all of her clothes were 10 cents, except for an amazing carpet bag purse with bakelite handle for $10. I got some great stuff, but now wish I had another suitcase with me as that was the reason I didn't get more. Ohio has the cheapest vintage I've ever seen. A lot of west coast vintage dealers will go on east coast buying trips, because it's that great. One day I hope to do just that. I did have to cut off the sleeves since the underarm was tearing, which was unfortunate since the sleeves looked really cute and had bows at the ends.
I can't remember where I got this hat, but I love it. It's just a velvet band with netting, but it has feathers that make it look like moths are fluttering around your head. Besides the fact that moths eat wool, I think they are cute :)

Hello.
My name is Madelin.
I like your virtual journal a lot.
I have a passion for vintage art too, even if I do not dare (yet :-)) to wear glamorous outfit, like you do. So, I'm only collecting vintage links to my blog and I like to page through them.
I like the way you post your photos, it's so artistic. How can you assemble the pictures, is there a special soft to do it?
cute and cute!and yes being from California originally and moving here to the midwest Ive died and gone to vintage heaven.
Wow! What a steal! Gorgeous.
10 cents???!!!

WOW! Super cute dress, and lovely hat – the last 12 months has seen me looking for a vintage hat with veil still reasonably intact, but nothing yet... I might have to etsy one.

I love your dress! And your style in all. Just found your lovely blog and liked it!
can we talk about your hair for a second? how fabulous are your curls!? hot rollers or pin curls?
I'd also like the answer to Madelin's question... My pictures are pretty amateur compared to yours.
Oh my god you guys in the US get the best vintage stuff!! That dress is awesome! :-D
That dress is so cute!! I can't believe it was for 10 cents! That is just silly!
Ohio has the cheapest vintage? Really? I live in Ohio so do you have any advice on where to go to get the best vintage? I would LOVE to get some hints on where to go for vintage everything!
