Velvet is one of my favourite fabrics ever and I'm all for colourful versions of it. <br /><br />This year I wore a combo of black, red and grey (with silver tone jewelry). My quilted black 50s circle skirt (with a red crinoline underneath) was the star of the show. It's still very much winter here, so layers were a must as we ventured out to run errands and then to a festive family get-together at my mom's.<br /><br />I hope you had a splendid weekend - tons of hugs!<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-60746892325567192322015-02-13T10:29:27.538-08:002015-02-13T10:29:27.538-08:00I just bought a new dress in a sale, not vintage b...I just bought a new dress in a sale, not vintage but 1950's in style.

I think they're decadently opulent for sure, and powerfully memorable as well - with more than a hint of that elusive femme fetale quality thrown in for good measure, too. <br /><br />Health permitting, I'll be venturing out and will likely take outfit snaps if we do. I haven't been well enough to go out in nearly a month (not uncommon for me in the slightest), but perhaps in one week's time, on Feb. 14th, I will be again.

Not, of course, that I'm implying that someone has to be young or immature to like pink, red and the like for Feb. 14th, goodness, no!!! Just that I know that the older I get in general, the more I feel myself drawn to classic, dark hues and rich, alluring fabrics like the ones featured in this post. Not only for Cupid's busiest day, but in general (case in point, I've spent hours this week searching for a brown or dark green 40s or 50s suit on Etsy - haven't hit upon the perfect one in either case yet, but the hunt continues - and all the more so because brown is my colour of the year for 2015). <br /><br />Have a fantastic weekend, dear gal!<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-68085772434469575912015-02-07T07:38:48.851-08:002015-02-07T07:38:48.851-08:00That's a splendidly nice thing to say, Ally, t...That's a splendidly nice thing to say, Ally, thank you!
