Vixen Vintage: Hello deco

4.12.2013

Hello deco

Typical northwest spring, the weather is all over the place. When I took these pictures it was that calm before the storm, when the clouds are dark and the birds are silent. But it's still a bit warm and breezy. As I left the sun came out, and stayed for a while!
Now that my hair is short again I can wear deco styles a little easier. I wanted to mention that I grew out and cut my hair for Locks of Love. You can donate your hair to this non-profit and that contributes to hairpieces for children who have lost their own hair due to illness such as alopecia or cancer. I have healthy hair that I don't artificially treat in any way, so it seemed silly not to. And I'll probably start the process all over again, grow it out, cut it, grow it out, cut it...

Unknown said...: You look absolutely fabulous! Something about Spring/Summer screams deco clothes time to me - perhaps bc the cottons are so perfect (your dress!!!), or maybe just because all my 20s-early 30s stuff is lightweight? Regardless, this post is oh-so-inspiring. Thanks lady:)

Unknown said...: Do you still pin curl your hair with it short? I'd like to try it with my short hair, but I'm not sure it would do right.; April 13, 2013 at 5:32 AM
Unknown said...: I love the pattern of this dress. Lovely photos. Great job on contributing to Locks of Love. (:

Miss Marie said...: I love the dress - the pattern is simply wonderful. And I love the idea of growing your hair out long and then chopping it short for charity - I always find it much more fun to have a dramatic change anyway, rather than gradually trimming back!; April 13, 2013 at 9:19 AM
Helen Le Caplain said...: I think you suit your hair either way - and this way you get to help children knowing that your own hair will grow back - very Jo in Little Women!

The weather's nuts over here in the UK today we got the first day where we had some sunshine, but by 3pm it was back to its usual rain and cold winds :/

Ah well, it makes us more willing to experiment wardrobe-wise!

Gorgeous hat btw x

Witchcrafted Life said...: Venturing further north along the Pacific coast into my wee corner of British Columbia, the weather is completely all over the place, too. We went from stunning sunshine and +25C on Easter Sunday to freezing and a whisper of snow yesterday. That's spring on this side of the world for you, eh?!

Love everything about this shoot, from the age-worn peeling paint on the stairs to your charmingly marvelous ensemble.
