Jump into Vintage Day 3

Today I wore my favorite brown floral skirt, red blouse, brown cardigan, and brown shoes.

This is a super comfortable ensemble right out of my closet.  I added a fairly plain vintage gold leaf brooch to the shirt, and a spray of red enameled roses brooch to the cardigan, 
from my jewelry box.  The skirt is a perennial favorite with my most loved colors of red, sage green, and brown.  The shirt is actually a knit jersey with 3/4 sleeves, and smocking detail near the neckline. The shirt and cardigan cost $1 each. The shoes were new from the thrift store for $4.  I don't remember where the skirt came from or how much it cost, but I've worn it for 15 years so I'm sure it's paid for itself by now!

 It's been 4 days since I washed and set my hair, and the curls are holding up fabulously. The front sections were looking a bit run down.  I should've dampened them and put them in rollers last night for a refresher but I was too lazy.  I just rolled them up in a yet-to-perfect victory roll/barrel pin curls.

The back curls are definitely relaxing, but still look great and have a lot of body.
I found this fantastic glass and enameled comb at a yard sale this weekend for .25!  Sadly, there was only one but I'll be glad to make do with that.



Miss H is wearing a navy and pink polka dot dress with a brown belt she picked up at Burlington Coat Factory last month, a pink cardigan I found for $1 last week on a thrift store run, brown flats, and my favorite red purse.













 
 I put her hair in victory rolls. I think I need to back comb them some more for volume.

                                                        
She's pretty in pink today!
