It is hard to overlook that fab cardi. And I've got one almost alike it. :) mine is a little darker and more blueish turquoise. I bought it at a flea market and boy, it took a lot of washing and restoration before I could use it. But now I love it. And grey is my basis colour, since I'm not that fond of black.

Overall, our corner of B.C. isn't particularly windy, so the fact that I've had two photo shoots this summer in different areas that were wind filled is quite interesting - I wonder if there will be any others before the season is up. <br /><br />I'm really sorry that you've had to endure such sizzling temperatures lately, honey. If I could send you some Canadian grown wind right now, honey, I would do so in a heartbeat. <br /><br />Fingers crossed that cooler weather comes your way asap!<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-84893796204063867212013-07-25T06:39:53.868-07:002013-07-25T06:39:53.868-07:00How I wish there was some more wind out here XD I ...How I wish there was some more wind out here XD I haven't slept properly the past two days, because I have to get up early in the morning to go to work and at the time that I have to go to sleep, it's still so hot inside that I just can't sleep at all :(<br />Anyhow, I think this outfit looks really wonderful on you! I love the colour of your cardigan, it's very lovely and reminds me of clear blue skies on a summer day :3Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01763790207875477355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-19473214816720290162013-07-23T11:42:14.975-07:002013-07-23T11:42:14.975-07:00Thank you very much, dear Jamie!

The shipping cost me several dollars more than the skirt itself, if I remember correctly, and I believe this stands as the best price I've ever paid for a vintage garment on etsy to date.

The shipping cost more than the skirt itself! :) I completely agree, I think that it's going to go with a ton of different blouses, tops and sweaters over the years. I needed another good basic skirt like that (to give my beloved black velvet 50s pencil skirt a day off sometimes) big time, and was so happy when I found it earlier this year. <br /><br />Thank you so much - I will pass that thoroughly lovely compliment on to the photographer (aka, Tony). There would have been so much camera shake if I'd been shooting in the wind that day, but his strong hands stayed steady as a rock - unlike my hat!!! :D<br /><br />Thank you very much for your wonderfully nice comment, my darling friend - huge hugs!<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-34938433026293941742013-07-21T02:08:40.816-07:002013-07-21T02:08:40.816-07:00Thank you very much, dear gal - if I didn't ow...Thank you very much, dear gal - if I didn't own this cardi myself, I'd have a hard time believing it was from a trendy modern chain like Forever 21, too. I really wish they'd stock more pieces like this - I fully believe that vintage fans and admirers of classic, timeless attire alike would appreciate and buy them.<br /><br />Oh no! Sorry about that honey, I'm pretty sure that all of the videos on that page were working a couple of weeks ago when I started putting together my Bigfoot post. It's always such a gamble with anything Youtube related though - videos are pulled there so frequently. Who knows, maybe one day I'll spot the Sasquatch and get a video of it to post myself - unlikely, but you never know! :)<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-65582188984599495802013-07-21T00:44:20.180-07:002013-07-21T00:44:20.180-07:00gone with the wind ... beautiful pictures.

I have a few (relatively small) hatpins, hailing from the 30s to the 50s, and am honestly thinking I should start keeping the plainest (so it will go with the most number of different hats) of them in the glovebox - perhaps with a couple of other vintage items so that it doesn't (unintentionally) look like some kind of tiny weapon (to someone who didn't know what it was). Ooohh, I can just imagine the gorgeous collection of hatpins that the Queen must have - surely some of them would be antiques and Royal Family heirlooms. <br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-12703915865669720852013-07-19T14:31:22.388-07:002013-07-19T14:31:22.388-07:00Oh my word that cardigan is incredible!Oh my word that cardigan is incredible!Vanessahttp://www.nessbow.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-59831607416831444332013-07-19T14:28:12.487-07:002013-07-19T14:28:12.487-07:00You look so classy with those matching gloves and...You look so classy with those matching gloves and hat.
