Dress: Vintage (80's does 50's), Sandals: DSW, Hat: Target

Hi guys! It has been forever! I have been so busy with life, that I let my blog fall to the wayside, but no more! I hope to now update my blog more regularly with outfit photos, cosplay photos, and potentially cosplay explainers (aka faux tutorials).

I'm so excited to be back to blogging and can't wait to really dive back into the blogging sphere. For the next month or so, expect to see small changes on the blog (as I am still deciding on the final design) and traveling back in time. You may ask, "How are you going back in time?" Well, simply put I will be posting a back log of posts such as Wondercon, Renaissance Faire,Dapper Day outfits, etc. So expect to see a lot of posts coming your way!

But back to this post...I have recently been feeling nostalgic and been wearing a lot of my vintage outfits more casually. This picnic dress, as I like to call it, was worn to hang out with some friends on a Saturday and just chill. I love weekends like that and feel like I need a few more like that.

Well, as I said I'm excited to be back to blogging and hope to see y'all come back here soon! TTFN, ta ta for now.

Vintage Affair

Dress: Vintage, Belt: Pin-Up Girl Clothing, Shoes: Mix No.6 (DSW), Purse: Kate Spade, Earrings: Vintage

My love affair with vintage continues. When my friend told me about a vintage fair in LA, of course I had to go! And while the outside of the building and the description of free mimosas and snacks looked super promising, it was a bit disappointing. It was slightly disappointing because of the size of the venue, and the prices some vendors were selling their goods at. But, even with these disappointing factors, I walked away with two beautiful vintage dresses (for a deal) and had a wonderful time sipping mimosas and catching up with my cousin. I truly feel that how you decide to handle a situation will determine whether you have a good time or not, and so I always try to walk-in with a positive attitude.

Quick side note on my dress. It is a true vintage dress I got on Etsy for about $40 (with shipping) and took to my tailor to get fitted. My tailor works absolute magic! The bottom half of the dress was originally huge on me and she made it nice and form-fitting! A quick reminder for my fellow vintage fashionistas: true vintage wiggle dresses has little to no stretch, so when getting it tailored don't get it too tight! Don't want to pop those seams!

I'm sure I will have a picture of my haul up soon, so make sure to check my Instagram! Sorry for the short post, but it was re

Fall Dapper Day- Keepin' It Classy

November 28, 2016 in Fashion

Dress: Vintage, Belt: Vintage, Hat: Vintage, Purse: Vintage, Shoes: Urban Outfitters, Petticoat: Malcomodes So, finally posting about ACTUAL Fall Dapper Day! And my second Dapper Day was just as fun, if not more fun, than my first Dapper Day because I now knew what to expect. My friend and I knew what we wanted to do that day: take beautiful pictures and run around California Adventure! Last Dapper Day, I barely got to go to California Adventure but this time, I was able to full embrace it AND finally go to Cars Land! Before this I never wanted to wait in land, so I would skip it, but my friend insisted we get it as our first Fast Pass. And I loved it! While I don't like the Cars movies, and had to hold by victory rolls in place (vintage aesthetic struggle) I had such a blast when we were zooming around the track! I forgot how fun California Adventure is! I really hope to visit it again soon (hint hint *wink wink*).

Overall, the day was full of running into other beautifully dressed people, eating delicious food (including getting ice cream even though it was quite cold at night), and just enjoying the Disneyland way of life. The only sad part, was that the day got dark so early! While it was beautiful to watch the skyline, and watch the parade, I always like to stretch out my "day" as long as possible when at Disneyland. I love Disneyland and I love dressing up in vintage dresses so Dapper Day is a dream come true for me.

Quick side note, my dress is vintage and (I think) looks pretty fab, but can you believe I got it on Ebay for only $31!? I love shopping for vintage online because as long as you know your measurements and don't mind asking the seller some questions, you can get some seriously amazing deals. I actually have my Spring Dapper Day dress picked out and found it on Ebay! Don't knock it until you try it!

Keep checking into my blog and Instagram (ID: dressesandcapes) if you want to see more of my vintage style! Until next time, TTFN. Ta ta for now.
