It leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
I could rant and rail at the cosmos about what happened today but I’d rather focus on the good things.
Kittens. Lip gloss. Afternoon naps. Cheap books.
Speaking of cheap books, I was at The Booksale a few days ago and found this:
I’ve been eying this book but it was P140 before. I waited for a Sale and got this for P90. Woot! And yes, this book is full of all Mad Men goodness you can imagine. Fashion-wise, that is.
Why hello there, Mrs. Betty Draper.
That is how you do sailor.
More dresses Betty Draper would approve.
Fabulous airport fashion
Sex and the City (Baby Boomers Version) - Charlotte, Samantha, Miranda, Carrie
Pool princess. With the appropriate pool cap, of course.
Junior swimwear
Hats for a well-dressed woman.
Didn't I see sandals like these at the mall yesterday?
I'll have a pair each, thank you. US size 5.
Cute, right?
I apologize for the photo-obese post. Obviously, I am very much in love with the book. In fact, I already have a few ideas in mind for my next dresses, based on the designs in this book.
And last photo, I swear, because this is just too funny not to post.
Sleepshirts for men! With matching hat, too!

Wow – I love these fashions – (The Betty Draper dresses) it was my era. Love your site – it is very interesting and you are so clever to make all the lovely things.

Awww, thanks!
I love these dresses, too. I’d love to wear vintage 60′s dresses but I’m afraid I’m too tiny for them. Haha.

Hey! I really like that sailor skimmer! …and I can imagine my little niece wearing those cute dresses… if only my sewing machine would stop running backwards.

When it starts running the way it should, I will lend you this book. :D
