It's good to know that I'm not alone in executing caution when sporting cherries. With jewelry I'll go to town, but with prints I generally like it when they stand out from the crowd and/or can be styled in a way that really allows them to do just that. This print checks both those boxes and is my ideal sort of cherry pattern.<br /><br />That's extremely sweet of you to say, thank you very much. I adore my readers, put in a substantial amount of time most weeks interacting with them, and truly value everyone who visits my site. My audience grows bigger each year and there's no way CV would be the same without the folks who take the time to make my blog a part of their world. Your blog is terrific, lovely lady, and I have no doubt that it will only continue to grow and flourish further as time goes on, too.<br /><br />Sending scores of hugs & happy mid-August wishes your way,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-50329709607271915492016-08-16T15:13:03.548-07:002016-08-16T15:13:03.548-07:00There is nothing I don't like about this outfi...There is nothing I don't like about this outfit! I have only recently started wearing more kitsch or popular retro prints, but I must admit cherries have not tempted me until now. Have always loved the print, but always afraid of being too predictable. This dress I love, and as always you nailed the accessories....on a side note, always a bit amazed and envious over how much feedback and readers you get! Good for you!!Rubyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15311021498743390316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-38771232352784505642016-07-06T19:54:34.937-07:002016-07-06T19:54:34.937-07:00It really and truly is!

Perhaps VV will reissue this charmer again. I certainly hope so - it's super pretty and something that I think will appeal to many more "tradition vintage" fashion fans (the jam jars on it are what sealed the deal for me :) ).<br /><br />Thank you very much for your lovely comment on this outfit post.

I suspect amongst those that gravitate more (or entirely) towards genuine vintage looks, the percentage would be quite high (all the more reason, IMO, for repro and similar brands to get creative with their cherry themed offerings). <br /><br />Thank you so much! That's an awesome compliment and one that really means a lot to me, too. <br /><br />Wishing you a sunny, fabulous week! <br /><br />xoxo ♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-83827586074682836402016-07-05T20:01:26.213-07:002016-07-05T20:01:26.213-07:00That is very true for sure, dear Sanne. I too wond...That is very true for sure, dear Sanne. I too wonder when the well, so to speak, of (at least) somewhat easy to find true 40s and 50s garments will essentially run out. Of course there will be vintage sellers offering them up for quite a long time after that point (just as some still sell, for example, Victorian and Edwardian fashions, which the average shopper is quite unlikely to encounter, say, a thrift shop or flea market these days). I agree with you that we'll probably get to that point in about 20 years or so. It could be a little less or a little more, but will likely be in the range of about a quarter more of a century from now. And then, maybe about 35 - 50 more years before true 40s and 50s pieces (especially clothing) is almost as hard to find in the everyday world as Victorian and early 20th century pieces are now. Time will tell of course, but I do highly suspect that we're at least fairly correct in our timeline estimations. <br /><br />I totally understand. We're going to be taking a trip (I'll be announcing the details of such here a bit later in the summer) towards the end of the season and I need to save just about every last penny for it, so I'm not buying much at the moment myself either. <br /><br />Many hugs & thanks for your great comment,<br />♥ Jessica<br /><br />Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-29975362999565412672016-07-05T19:55:19.024-07:002016-07-05T19:55:19.024-07:00Thank you sweetly, my dear.

Nothing lasts forever, and I have thought about our fifties style will not be in about 20 years or more. And VV is UK based, yeah! And 20% discount, yeah!

It was noteworthy not only for its awesome concept, but because I rarely dream and of those that I do have/recall, not many are good dreams, but that one was and stands out as a true favourite. If only it could really come to fruition - that would be beyond amazing! <br /><br />Thank you sweetly for your lovely compliments and kind words about this outfit. It's one of my faves in ages and has inspired me to look for more unique cherry themed garments from here on out.<br /><br />I hope that all is well on your end as we embrace July's return, dear Christina, and that you're having a beautiful week so far.<br /><br />Many hugs,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-56839629733448593052016-07-04T23:33:57.530-07:002016-07-04T23:33:57.530-07:00Hi sweet Janey - oh, great minds!

I'm thinking of reusing my costume from 2013, as the tiny number of photos we took of it were all too dark (they were taken too late in the evening) to be usable here, so I wasn't able to post my costume that year. I really liked it and would have no qualms going as the same thing again. That said though, I haven't made any hard and fast decisions yet and may very well whip up or buy something new entirely to celebrate this, m 32nd Halloween, with. Fingers crossed some great ideas and inspiration come both our ways long before All Hallows' Eve arrives again.<br /><br />Big hugs & many thanks for your wonderfully nice comment and compliments,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-10212407036510677832016-07-04T23:31:12.492-07:002016-07-04T23:31:12.492-07:00Thank you sweetly, lovely Ann.
