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!!

Ivy Covered

Apparently I only work or reside in places with walls of climbing ivy. Ha! This is our back courtyard of our shop Market Supply Co. No complaints here, it makes for wonderful back grounds in photos. But I have to subconsciously be choosing places like this!!

When Chicago does finally decide to switch to seasons, it happens rapidly and to the extreme. We went from being annoyed by frosty chills at the beginning of June, to being annoyed by sweltering 90º plus temps. Since it's not socially acceptable to be naked, I live as close to naked as possible. Light cotton halter dresses and crop tops it is! I have had this dress for 7 years and I wear it every year at the beginning of summer.

Despite what my bright red lipstick may say, I love to have little to nothing on my face in this weather. I actually have never worn foundation because I can't deal with too much on my face. However, I do wear concealer under my eyes because unfortunately, I look like a 12 year old who's been punched in the mornings;) So I live in red lipstick, concealer, and mascara. Luckily, I also made this Summer easier by keeping my hair short. Shower, comb it (and by comb I mean my fingers) and let it dry!!

What I'm wearing (and duh it includes my wood jewelry) ~

Dress: thrifted 7 yrs ago

Purse: a gift from Merl

Wood Jewelry: thrifted from numerous places over the years

3 stacked bakelite rings: thrifted separately as well

Navy 70s Cuddler Wedges: Etsy (the Rag Museum)

Warm Thoughts

The temps are at an all time low here in Chicago, -14º to be exact with a -42º windchill. So I am cooped up inside cuddling with my man and my kitties. Trying to stay warm, I thought why not post the beauties in the shop currently that make me feel all warm inside:)

What do you fancy the most??

30s & 40s printed rayons?

1940s Accessories?

40s & 40s Day Dresses?

Or is it Formals and Party Dresses?

I can't decide what I love more. How about you?

❄ Brrr ❄

Well I asked for winter and it came! I love the winter, the snow, the cold, and the holidays, gimme it all! But this winter is a little hard to warm up to. It literally went from 60º to 30º over night, which shocked me so much I forgot how to dress warm. Give me a couple weeks and I'll figure things out. I just need a second to remember how to dress myself in all my vintage dresses. Because right now, all I want to put on is an oversized sweater and jeans. Curl up on the sofa with a wool blanket, a cup of coffee, Mike and our cat Mackenzie.

However my shop is getting me excited to put on Holiday dresses for nights out and parties. I will be posting weekly shop updates of lovely Holiday dresses, warm and cozy outerwear and of course just simply adorable dresses.

Here is the latest update in the shop!

❄ Stay Warm ❄
