Outfit Post

Petite curves ahead...proceed with caution!

To make myself feel better after my horrid morning, I went downtown to do a little vintage shopping. I will post later about the two shops I stopped at. I found an amazing vintage 1940's suit that fits like a dream and this killer vintage Asian bombshell dress! I didn't even try it on at the shop, I measured it with a tape measure, said what the hell and bought it. I came home put it on and feel in love. The vintage double parasol I found at Goodwill and it makes a great prop! I love the fact that it has a tiny parasol on top of a bigger parasol.

New vintage suit


We all need to just stop obsessing over our bodies and appreciate what we have! I'm a petite, curvy girl.... and I'm okay with that! Dress yourself well no matter what size or shape you are and love what ya got...cause gal, ya got a lot!

  6. See, the vintage gods were looking out for you, after a horrible morning... And can I just say, I LOVE it!! With the parasol and dress, you remind me of Vivian Charles from Pushing Daisies in the MOST fabulous way... And that suit is great!

    Your thoughts on body image are SO true too...

  7. Great finds! You are gorgeous and I agree with you 100%. It took me a while to get to a place where I was comfortable within my own body but I love who I am and I don't want to be like anyone else, either.
    And, yes, heels do make the difference. ;]

  13. I've never met a cheonsagm dress that I didn't like and that dress adores you,since it is hugging every curve perfectly! Yep, that is one happy dress. The suit as well is beautifully fitted and I hope your finds helped lift your spirits. You certainly deserve it after your morning.

  17. Amen sister! I so agree that clothes should be tailored to fit your body. Another amen to the claim that things started to decline in the 60s. Could not agree more.
