Vintage, Brand New: December 2012

Ivory Lace Dress

Nine West Three-Quarter Sleeve Tiered Lace Dress in Ivory - Lord & Taylor

$96.75 (sale price)

It's so difficult to find full-sleeve or three-quarter sleeve dresses these days. This one is gorgeous, has a vintage style and has a decent skirt length as well. L&T has become my go-to source for great dresses and most of the dresses in my current wardrobe are from their store.

Waist Belts

Waist belts are essential in a vintage style wardrobe. They are great for creating curves and getting that cinched-in waist look that was so popular in the 1950s especially. Here are some waist belt options available online.

Holiday Party Outfit - Pink and Silver

This dress is a show stopper! V-back dresses were really popular especially in the 1950s and it's difficult to find party dresses with long sleeves. If you've got a great back and want to show it off, this is the dress for you. And I especially love the combination of pink and silver. It's quite dazzling.
