Super awesome finds, sweet Sanne. I can't even begin to remember the last time I added three 1950s dresses to my closet on the same day (or even in the same month). That' so cool! I bet you're floating on cloud nine right now over this awesome score.<br /><br />Thank you sweetly! I'm looking forward to styling this skirt in the summer, too. It will suit our town's beaches and luxurious sunshine so nicely. :)<br /><br />Many thanks, too, for all of your terrific recent blog comments. It genuinely means a lot to me that you comment on so many of my posts. <br /><br />Scores of hugs,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-63348836368713667772016-03-14T09:12:25.680-07:002016-03-14T09:12:25.680-07:00Oh how cute you are.

I visited the first Danish vintage fair yesterday and got THREE fantastic fifties dresses.

I think the thing that I dislike the most about prolonged periods of having the hiccups is that they start to make my stomach and throat both hurt after a while. I wonder if others run into this too?<br /><br />Three big cheers for vibrant hues on winter days. They are like a shot of vitamin D for your eyes and (sun starved) soul alike. <br /><br />Oodles of hugs & thanks for your great blog comments today,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-8269088397318909722016-03-10T14:39:16.690-08:002016-03-10T14:39:16.690-08:00I LOVE the contrast of your flamingo skirt with th...I LOVE the contrast of your flamingo skirt with the snowy background! It definitely helps brighten up my mood to pretend it's spring/summer and wear really bright clothes in the middle of winter, and there's no better example of it than this. It's a shame about your hiccups though! I get them sometimes too but they don't usually last more than 10 mins, I can't imagine what I'd do if they hung around for 3 hours and I couldn't get rid of them with any of the usual methods, you poor thing!<br /><br /><a href="http://littlehenrylee.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">jessica - littlehenrylee.com</a>little henry leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17024952001696475133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-56129520203314265952016-03-10T12:04:11.834-08:002016-03-10T12:04:11.834-08:00Thank you sweetly, Kayla honey.

This shoot plus one I did back in December with the red 50s style dress from The House of Foxy (also in the snow) are some of my favourite shoots in recent months.

Even though we were treated to a milder than usual February (much more rain than snow), it feels like winter has been dragging on for an absolute age and a half!

Hiccups really are strange, unpleasant things and my heart goes out to those who have to deal with them on a frequent basis. <br /><br />That's one of the tricks I like to try as well and it does sometimes work, but not that day. I remember having woken up quite suddenly that morning and suspect that I may have taken in excess air in the process, so maybe that's why the hiccups for so stubborn for me that time around. Who knows, lol! :) <br /><br />Big hugs & happy Monday wishes,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-82063381471624454042016-03-06T23:15:44.383-08:002016-03-06T23:15:44.383-08:00Indeed - but they're well worth it usually, es...Indeed - but they're well worth it usually, especially if you're fortunate to have a gorgeous backdrop like this.

Flamingos, and in some ways the whole colour palette of this outfit, has a total Miami Vice vibe (I love that show so much - ditto for Don Johnson's 1990s TV series Nash Bridges). Interestingly, despite flamingos being very popular in the vintage/retro/pinup world, prior to this skirt, I (unintentionally) owned almost nothing flamingo themed. I'm delighted that I could rectify that with this charming skirt. <br /><br />Thank you for your lovely comment, sweet dear.

I have found that if I get them once, I am bound to get them about five more times that day, so strange. The only way I can get rid of them is if I take a huge breath in, and take tiny breaths in and out while pressing really hard below my lungs until they disappear. Which probably makes me look completely insane. Haha! It's literally the only thing that will make them go away but it doesn't always work.Lostvestigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06962437649967510875noreply@blogger.com
