vintage shopping in arizona

 A dress from Incahoots in Flagstaff for $23...

 My rust-colored tights didn't make it in the picture, so here they are with a close-up of the pattern...


 A dress from How Sweet it Was in Tucson for $19...


The belt is also from How Sweet it Was - do you already know that the trick to fixing vintage clothes that are too big is to throw a belt on?  I didn't until a fashionable former coworker told me.  Genius, because that first dress above is too big, as is the pile of alterations I'm supposedly going to complete one day.


Hand-printed fabric from Eclectic Flea in Tucson... $4!!!!  It's now hanging on the wall next to our dining table, as you can see above...


And a Chimayo weaving for $9, from Eclectic Flea as well.


I could take ten more trips to Arizona and still want to see and do more.  I love the stuff we saw, did, and got, not to mention some awesome Day of the Dead stuff as well.  We were so close to Mexico, I would have loved to cross the border...
