Vintage Glam Pick

This is a follow up to my previous post: Vintage Glam! Recently, I asked "Which of the 3 dresses listed in my Vintage Glam post did you think I purchased at the NY vintage dress shop, Dusty Buttons?" and you said the green and blue one.

Well Suities, you were right!!!

I fell in love the moment I saw it. Once I put it on, I felt like a character in the TV series, Mad Men. If you do not plan on buying a vintage dress any time soon, but want to get the look than throw on some plain slacks, a patterned cardigan, pearls and twist back your hair like this:

It is so very simple and chic! I picked up this cardigan from Target and slacks from Banana Republic. I felt polished and pulled together. I cant wait to see your Mad Men inspired looks.

Vintage Glam!!

I was riding along in my cab in NY thinking about where I could find a great vintage piece and then an news reel runs highlighting this little vintage shop called “Dusty Buttons” on 9^th Street.  It turns out there were a few vintage shops on 9^th but this one was by far the best.  I love vintage and vintage inspired clothing, so I went in and was floored by the quality and range of their pieces.  I am a curvy girl (around a size 12-14) so most vintage shops do not have many items I could choose from, but at Dusty Buttons I found at least 5 pieces (sized large) at this shop and they were by far highest quality vintage dresses I have come across in a while. The dresses range from $80- $200.  

I picked up mine for less than $150 and I love it.  I wore it to work and received an enormous amount of compliments. It is probably one of the most comfortable dresses I own. They sure knew how to cut a pattern back then. Which one do you think I purchased?
