Out on the town
Today a few of us met up with our friend Sara, who was visiting from Seattle. We lunched at Kenny and Zukes and shopped a bit here and there. I found some amazing shoes, you guys are going to love!
We also had some photobooth fun, it's a must.
Sara wore the most amazing 1940s siren suit, WITH A HOOD. I was gawking at it all afternoon. If it's two things I love it's jumpsuits and hoods.
Janey was darling as ever in an aqua skirt and scarf (and I do love bobby socks and loafers with skirts), and Cassandra was wearing her hottest va-va-voom pants.
I finished this dress up this morning, it used to be a skirt! I got it for $1, and it was such a perfect 40s style rayon despite being from the 90s, I had to do something with it. There was just enough fabric for this dress, and I like the way it turned out! I added the jabot last minute, it just needed something over the top, but I might find a collar for it instead.

Lovely ladies!I'm drooling over each outfit!
Looks like y'all had a blast. That siren suit is insaaane (and I love your pink gloves, too!)
I'm not a jumpsuit person but if I don't have THAT jumpsuit I don't think I can carry on living.
You guys are looking good! I've always wanted to go into a photobooth and take silly photos, I think I'll do it this summer!
You look great, ladies! I like that happy mood and your outfits :)
Oh Gee, That Siren suit is bloody awesome! Also you have the exact same smile as my friend Tess, especially in the 2nd and 3rd photo booth shots. So joyous!!
Ooh you have the sweetest dress, so cute! You all look fabulous :)

Ladies, you are so achingly stylish and beautiful! I can't get enough of everyone's look, and especially adore your new dress, Solanah - stellar work on transforming a skirt into that timelessly pretty gem.

You all look gorgeous! I love the dress you made....so pretty, and the fabric is divine :)
What an amazing dress you made!!!
I would never guess it was a 90's fabric... you are so lucky to sew like that, I want to learn for years but never manage to do it with my full time engineer job, what a pity!

Your dress is fabulous. I can't believe you made it out of a skirt! Amazing!
OH-OH-the jumpsuit! (heart fluttering)
Superbe! Thank you for sharing!
Ahh, you all look absolutely fabulous! I just love when you post these outtings, they look like such fun and it's so nice to be a (albeit small) part of it. :)
And, excuse me, a 1940's hooded dress??? Amaaazing!!!
(and you made your dress.... I'm breathless, it's all too cool.) x
Your dress is so fabulous it hurts my eyes to look at it.
Looks like you had a great time, you all look gorgeous! XxxX http://thesecondhandrose.blogspot.co.uk
Such gorgeous stylish gals, every last one!
Anything with a hood or a cape I am all over. And your one dollar dress looks amazing. Did you take any photos of it as a work in progress? I want to see how you did it.
Gosh yes, brilliant 40s style print for a more modern dress
That dress is really cute, I love the shape. Do you know of any similar patterns that are easily available? Or is it *very* period-correct (e.g. not for a beginner, haha)
Leave the jabot, it is the finishing touch! Or, make it a detachable one so you can switch looks ;)
Wonderful outfits!
so cool
