It's not that I'm (overly) materialistic, I don't consider myself to be, but simply that I'm an eclectic soul with countless loves/passions. :)<br /><br />Very true about light green shoes being hard to find. I think the last time I saw such was in a bridal shop (which can a great place actually to score less common styles of pumps/court shoes). I hope that a wonderful pair comes your way soon.<br /><br />Lucky you having size six feet! Mine are usually an American size 8 or 8 wide (though look smaller - everyone, my whole life, has thought I was a 6 or 6.5), but I have crazy high arches and slightly uneven sized feet (but not a full or half shoe size apart), and that combo makes finding comfy shoes that fit booth feet a substantial challenge. It's not uncommon for me to have to try on 100 or even 200 pairs in person to find one that even marginally works. As such, I've long learned from experience that ordering shoes online will rarely work for me and usually just stick to in person shopping, for which there aren't a ton of options locally. I try to hit more shoe (and thrift) stores when we travel for that very reason. And, silver lining, it means that the pairs that I do have get a lot of use and are treasured until their very last moments of life (for it's a very sad day indeed when one gives up the ghost beyond any reasonable repair). <br /><br />Not to chat your lovely ear off there though! :)<br /><br />Big hugs & happy Tuesday wishes,<br />♥ Jessica<br />Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-43862243827820776822016-05-16T23:48:44.665-07:002016-05-16T23:48:44.665-07:00And now it's damn cold again here in Denmark, ...And now it's damn cold again here in Denmark, sigh! Green shoes, I think I have about 5 or 6 pairs. Since green is my favourite colour. But green and pink shoes are the most different colours to find. Therefore, I always buy them, if I find them. I'm lucky to wear size 36 (I think it is a US size 6, don't know about Canadian sizes), so I always get my shoes cheap, and I'm lucky enough to be able to fit vintage shoes. I really need a pair of pastel green shoes, I have a mint pair, but it is a difficult colour to match with anything. It is good to have something on your wish list though. Have a lovely day, dear. :)SANNEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12973437247117000140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-76922067362783456962016-05-16T10:19:23.213-07:002016-05-16T10:19:23.213-07:00Oooohh, those sound smashing!

I eagerly look forward to sporting this dress come the first nippy days of fall, when it doesn't (yet) have to be buried under a thick overcoat. <br /><br />If you do give into the siren's call, I can totally picture this same Heyday dress looking head turningly marvelous on you. <br /><br />Shoes, due to my hard to fit feet, are one area where things get sparse very quickly in my closet (I just tell myself there that I'm taking an austere vintage approach to things :)). I bet it's a blast to have oodles of pairs to work with when getting dressed and simply admire. Do you have any green ones? That's a shoe hue I've wanted for much of my life, but I've yet to find a pair that fit me comfortably. It's definitely one of those searches that will always continue, so hopefully you'll see me rocking a verdant pair here one day (another that I've long yearned for is a pink pair).<br /><br />How wonderful! We're in the 20s here, too, and lapping up every not-too-hot, not-too-cold moment of it. Hopefully this summer season will be a long, beautiful one on both our ends.<br /><br />Tons of hugs & happy Friday wishes,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-89618625073499626132016-05-12T10:50:24.082-07:002016-05-12T10:50:24.082-07:00Wow!

I imagined you in the low sunshine of autumn with golden coloured leaves behind you. I think you can style this dress with endless choices of cardigans, shawls and jools. What a treat! If it wasn't because I've changed my summer/winter wardrobe today, I would have treated myself to one. BUT, I really cannot convince myself that I need more dresses (or shoes! For that matter). Boy, I have many! It was a tough job, but also fun and I feel so rich going through my collection. Here in Denmark we have had summer weather for a week now! Fabulous sunshine all day long and 20+ C degrees, I love it!

So many women of the decades we hold most dear were quite literally raised from birth with training in such, but far fewer are now and I think that such plays, in part, to the continual causalization of fashion - or conversely, the very hodgepodge, loud style that modern fashion mags are so wild about. Then as now, many in the vintage world have mastered this art and it is downright refreshing to see.<br /><br />Thank you for your marvelously lovely compliments and insightful comments here alike here, my dear friend.

Hello Jess!
Oh, the...After all - clothing matters!<br /><br />Hello Jess!<br />Oh, the words I wrote before "hello"? Yeah, that is what I keep trying to convey to the the world out-there. Clothing may not make the man, but they DO matter when it comes to presenting ourselves. We should never let the clothes be our "spokes person" and say "hey all, I that Messy Gal" before we even open our mouth. <br />Sure, in a perfect world one should not care about clothes, and others should not judge by visual moment when first meeting someone. But.... we're vain.<br />You, however - you're adorable.<br />Your figure is so lovely (and I know you're petite), this dress suit you so well - I dare say: like a glove. :)<br /><br />Do not feel ashamed when given a compliment - you deserve more than one.<br />M.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04034764185511908294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-9198352736503663822016-05-06T16:26:35.940-07:002016-05-06T16:26:35.940-07:00Thank you so very much, darling gal.
