Denim shirt: Joe Fresh

Belt: Forever 21

Hat: Grandfathers

Necklace: Hattitude Jewellery shop

I think this hat completes the outfit, which used to be my grandfathers. Also the yellow bow belt. Who doesn't swoon over a bow belt? I now own three of them and LOVE them all to pieces. I particularly like bow belts because they update what could have been a frumpy vintage jumper into a modern day outfit. I really think denim shirts are key in updating your vintage finds as well, if you want to update them, some people just love the classic look of vintage. I like to update mine a little with modern style items, such as bow belts and denim shirts. I guess that's why I update vintage brooches and earrings in to new funky modern day jewelry to wear every day. Have you checked out my online store yet? Take a gander over here at my online shop.

I hope your Friday nights are going swimmingly. I am off for a date night dinner. Tomorrow off to a card... party? Is that what one would call it? It's a gathering where you make your own greeting cards, sort of like a tupper ware party but make your own greeting cards. It's fun. I love being creative like that, but don't own half the scrapbooking items that are needed to do it, so this is a great excuse!

Have a great weekend!

Harvest Festival

Today I wore one of the most fabulous finds in my wardrobe. I wore it downtown, back to the city to a clinic appointment.

Here is a most flirtatious, wonderful vintage dress from a store in Guelph which the name has decided to allude me for the moment.....ah just remembered.... Wild Rose. Suits the dress lovely because it's is wild. Wild Child.

 I'm pretty sure this dress was hand made by someone as it has no tag on the inside and the sizing is a it off, as well as no lining and if you look carefully you can see some of her mistakes she made while sewing it. Even the belt is handmade with fabric fastened over another belt it seems.

This is one of the more expensive vintage pieces I own in my wardrobe. Only because instead of a thrift store find where I usually spend my days swooning over the racks, this is from an actual real vintage store...they knew what they were talking about.

I wanted the collar to pop and stand up a little...can you tell I used some tape to stick it down, so it was open in a v shape to show off my cowboy hattitude necklace ha!

This dress is very light, nice Spring time feel to it, despite it looking like a Harvest festival attacked the print of it.
