Time Flies!

 This week has been a little strange. How? Finding vintage is of course always random. But never this random. My last post was a lovely 1940s 2pc Lounge Set by the brand Textron. Since finding that set a few months ago, I have since more and more of that label. Two blouses, a dress and Mike actually found a PJ set yesterday!! It's silly, but I can't help but laugh at the name, Textron. It's sounds like a vintage robot, or what my transformer name would be. Maybe this should be my Dethrose Vintage specialty!?

So it was a bit strange when one of my favorite customers, Christy, brought this dress in to me. I was immediately taken a back by the beauty of this dress. But then I noticed it to be a Textron as well! This now made the 5th Textron piece I had come across in only 2 months! Insanity!!! 

The print kills me, Time Flies!!

It feels like I haven't posted in forever! I am trying to become more consistent with my outfit posts and shop updates. But this week was a busy one. I was prepping all week for the Randolph Street Vintage Market for the weekend. And of course, getting myself ready for the Mad Men premiere, which did not disappoint. The week flew by which left me exhausted this morning. However, the weekend was the best, full of friends and laughing. Not gonna lie though, I am still in my pj's wrapped in a blanket sipping my coffee. Mentally preparing myself for all the work I have to get done today. 

I'm also dragging a bit today because Chicago went from 80º weather for the last 3 weeks to being 45º today!!! I'm not complaining, I knew we were totally lucky for the month of March. But the cold does make you a bit slower, no? When it's warm and sunny, I can't wait to get going! Luckily, tomorrow I will get that wish, it will be back up to 68º. Hahaha, gotta love my bi-polar city. Anyway, here are some photos from last Thursday Merl took for me during our strange Summer March weather. My dress and purse were from the sale at Holly's house for Lucite Box that I posted about in my last post.

 The pink is fading nicely in my hair. I can't wait til its the perfect baby pink.
