I am so excited about them and hope to get a lot of wear out of them for autumn.<br /><br />I put on a lot of weight on the past couple of years and was surviving only wearing the few clothes that still fit me from before, but I was miserable doing that, with a full wardrobe and most of them didn't fit me.<br /><br />On the past couple of months I have been putting clothes aside for donation and I am still not ready with that. And finally I am investing on a vintage wardrobe. <br /><br />My best friend in Brazil is the one that introduced me to vintage fashion on our late teens (we have been best friends since we were 10 years old and studied for 6 years on the same school and always on the same class) and it was love at first sight, but even though everybody knows we have incredibly similar taste on most things (once we even arrived with the same costume for a zombie walk we organised, and we had no idea what the other one was dressed as, we even bought it on the same place and everybody thought we had planned for both to be flight attendants), I restrained myself from starting to buy clothes on that style, as I thought it would be perceived by others as imitating her.<br /><br />I moved to Germany in 2010 and now, two years and a half later, living away from her, I finaly dont care anymore if when I do go to Brazil to visit and go out with her if anybody will think I dress like that to copy her. I know I love the style, just as she does, and we are the best of friends and just have really similar tastes, which is pretty awesome if you think about it, as we could have grown up to be complete opposites of each other.<br /><br /><br />So, now I am building an wardrobe that not only fits but is the style that I have been admiring for almost 10 years. I am happier than I remember being with my clothes, EVER.<br /><br />You have been a source of great inspiration, but the two pieces from you that left me drooling were this freddie's dungarees and the navy pinafore dress from Jitterbugin (I dream to have it in green and in navy someday).<br /><br />Thank you so much for introducing me to so many amazing brands and being a source of inspiration.<br /><br />xo,<br />UilaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-48406310899539150162013-05-28T20:58:13.053-07:002013-05-28T20:58:13.053-07:00I'm a petite lass myself (barely 5'2"...I'm a petite lass myself (barely 5'2") and with a bit of hemming, I've had no problem getting my freddies (jeans and overalls) to work wonderfully on my short legs (don't let these snaps fool you, I do not have long legs at all!!!). I think that because most of their pants are designed to be high waisted, it doesn't affect their overall appearance very much (if at all) if you slash/hem a few inches off the bottom. <br /><br />I'd love to hear what you think of Freddies pants if you do get some one day, dear gal.<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-76931916965521427742013-05-28T20:54:51.091-07:002013-05-28T20:54:51.091-07:00I have been wanting a pair of Freddie's for ag...I have been wanting a pair of Freddie's for ages!!

The denim I've bought from Freddies has been the only vintage or repro trousers/jeans to date that have ended up fitting right on my short, curvy body.

Adding an extra couple inches (or more) of trim or fabric to the hems could always be an idea (say, classic red flannel plaid or some cute gingham). <br /><br />Yikes about the ticks - that's frightening for sure. <br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-26449939226678945612013-05-24T09:43:27.056-07:002013-05-24T09:43:27.056-07:00Thank you very much, dear Kymberlee.

Anyway, they are one of my favourite items you own, as you were wearing them the first post I saw you in I think! They are so good for days when a pretty dress would get spoiled and to be honest they are so much cuter than my staple skinny jeans! One day I might get up enough courage to try some new styles, in the meantime I will enjoy looking at your lovely posts.Philippahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979470577235630724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-87826700781734557552013-05-24T07:36:29.965-07:002013-05-24T07:36:29.965-07:00You look adorable!!!
