Recently I sent off some bakelite bangles to be polished by Brighter Bakelite, and as soon as I got them
back I had to plan an outfit around them. Are't they gorgeous?
It's still pretty warm in Portland, and I'm trying my best to appreciate summer even though I'd much rather it be cold and rainy. A little splash of color now and then does the trick nicely.
Have you ever gone to that big food truck/cart area in Portland? I may have asked before, but I can't remember. Anyway, I see it on TV all of the time and I'm DYING to go there.
Your outfit is adorable by the way! I love the bangles :)
They really, really are! I love the high intensity shine - so captivating and redolent of the glossy coating the one sometimes sees on the outside of candies (such as jelly beans).
I love watching your style evolve! I've been an avid follower of this blog for years now (usually too shy to comment! Haha!) and I find so much inspiration!
You've inspired me to start my own blog and play with modern-vintage fashions--but, I mostly look forward to seeing your posts every week! :)

Adorable! What you're wearing is like what I wore in the late 80s, but with an edge and twist I could not pull off! AWESOME!

That dress is just so adorable - I love how you styled it!

Solanah,
What a lovely outfit!
The hat suits you so well. The bangles gave it a dash f colour, just enough to make it adorable!
Yet another great outfit post.
And yes, I'd like some rain over here, too.

Ooooo! I absolutely must get my hands on that makeup book. What a treasure...
Fabulous! I have some bakelite as well - never gets old :) Love the look!
Love your outfit. I wish I could wear those bracelets. I always find that my wrist is too small :(.
A++. This outfit is a serious keeper. Is it the hat? Maybe it's the socks & ferragamos. Or maybe just all of it. It's probably that.
Wow, Jesse is boggling my mind with the polishing. They come out so glossy & perfect, so impressed!

Great outfit :) Love, love, love the socks!
What a cute look! Yes the bangles look perfect with this dress!
