This vintage 80's screen printed & tasseled t-shirt reminds me of something someone would've worn on Dynasty or Dallas. I totally love it, especially paired with black leggings, a belt, & red strappy sandals. The print has some sort of chair theme, which I don't totally understand, but that's ok. There is also a horse & a crown, along with sewn on beads & tassels. This is a pretty funky shirt.

Made by Carole Little Sport.

Size Small (Will fit best for a bust of 42" & a waist of 41", or smaller). 25" long. This top is meant to be worn in a slouchy fashion. Shown in the pics belted & without. Belt not included. Shirt has original small shoulder pads still intact.

100% cotton.

Condition is good, but the fabric on the front of the shirt is actually a different quality than the rest of the shirt, presumably because it's been printed & embellished. Therefore, it seems to have naturally faded to a slightly different color than the sleeves & back. This is slight, but worth mentioning because I haven't ever seen this before.

This fabulous applique T-shirt is environmentally conscious & fashion forward. I started with a super soft Gap long sleeve "Favorite Tee" that I thrifted. I then added a funky sort of yoke & ruffle to the front, using vintage floral cotton fabric. The yoke is embellished with three different vintage brass buttons.

I love this piece! It makes me think of a shirt from Anthropologie, but half the price & handmade!

Size M (shown on model with bust 36" & waist 29").

$18.00
WAS $37

OMG! Totally fabulous painted vintage hot pink pumps. These pink leather shoes were painstakingly rescued & revived with metallic gold paint. The pattern resembles a cross between a cheetah & an alligator print. I added a custom cushioned insole in disco diva pink. It's so fun to have a bold insole like this. It's like a little secret! Plus, it makes these pumps extra comfy! Pleated leather decorative detail at toe.

Size 8M. Measures 10.25" from toe to heel, 3" across ball of the foot, 2.25" across widest part of the heel. (To ensure proper fit, grab a pair of pumps from your closet & compare measurements from the INSIDE of the shoe. Use a tape measurer.) Heel is 2.75".

This amazing vintage 80's wooden necklace reminds me of that children's book, "Where the Wild Things Are".

I love the beads used in this necklace: a carved wooden rhinoceros in the center, flanked by abstract "puzzle piece" wooden beads painted in bright pink, turquoise, & purple, long wooden "teeth", triangular wooden block beads, rippled wooden block discs, a carved wooden lion, & a carved wooden road runner. Totally fabulous.

I love the details of this vintage 80's silk blouse. It's got this sort of yoke thing going on in the front & in the back, which is very flattering to the bust area.

WAS $28

Well, I was totally fooled by this 1980's version of a 1950's circle skirt. Either way, I just love it & so wish that it fit me. Alas, after two children & a bad chocolate chip cookie addiction, it's not meant to be. So, I'm offering to you this extraordinary full circle skirt in a pretty spring print. The skirt features exaggerated pockets with cuffs on the front & large white plastic buttons all the way down the front. It also has a self-belt, which & always love. Would look amazing with a petticoat!!

Blue Lisner Moonglow Earrings

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 19:22:40 -0400

I am suddenly a complete fiend for vintage costume jewelry. These sky blue moonglow Lisner earrings are so ladylike & lovely. The moonglow cabochons are set in a trifoil design above a single silver tone leaf.

Made by Lisner (signed).
Clip style.
Each earring measures about 1 1/8" long x .75" wide.
Condition is excellent, though they could use a slight cleaning.

I love these as earrings, but I think clip earrings look SO cute clipped to the collar of a sweater or a denim jacket, too. I've even clipped them through the button hole to cover an otherwise ordinary button on a sweater or jacket. So fabulous!
