It's All Bright

Vintage buttercup yellow lambswool shell encrusted with intricate beadwork and sequins.

Delicate seed and bugle beads form opulent scallops, tassels, and fringe.
Opalescent sequins create an dazzling texture of light and color.

Hot pink silk shantung pencil skirt with side vents (from vintage pattern).

Vintage emerald satin Koret purse with kiss lock closures inset with rhinestones.
Wet 'n Wild Sea Witch nail lacquer from the Mermaid's Cove Collection.

The inside of this purse is just as exquisite as the outside.  
The chain strap has it's own interior pocket so the purse can be worn with or without it.  The red satin lined pocket is so beautifully made the chain slips right in and stays in, keeping it protected.  Connected to the hinges of the outer hardware are two interior kiss lock purses.  The red satin purse is long and likely meant for holding cigarettes.  The royal blue satin purse is shorter and likely meant for holding a lighter or lipstick.  

Emerald satin sandals with 3" tapered mahogany wedge heels & gold leather t-straps.
On toes:  Ulta Paparazzi nail lacquer from the Glitterati Collection.

Wrong Number Sweater

This is one of the reasons I love vintage/thrift shopping.

I would do anything to meet the woman who made this.  Seriously.

When was the last time anyone dialed a "wrong number"?

The buttons as buttons are the cherries on top.

Shoes by John Fluevog.  Don't forget to click on any photo for a closer look!  :)

Bodice has extensive boning which nips the waist in.

Halter ties go beneath the arms to the back of the bodice, folding over into two points.

Thank you so much for reading!  <3
