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...
please please please can we go vintage shopping together in Baltimore? maybe on our photo tour? - Kim
ReplyDeleteSay when! You don't have to twist my arm on that one.
Deleteso many good finds :) I ESPECIALLY love that second dress, the fit and pattern are perfect!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I should have ironed it first, I'm glad you can see beyond that ;)
DeleteOh, I love love love everything you bought! Especially the printed fabric and the rug, so beautiful! The dresses are gorgeous too, such great patterns. What a successful trip for you, with the photos and the shopping :))
ReplyDeleteThank you! I can't believe what good stuff I found - Arizona was a gold mine. I tried to find some good southwestern print fabrics, but no luck, but I was excited to find such unique patterns in all of these things.
DeleteWowww!! The first dress is so nice! You look great on it!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I really love the pattern on it.
