Tonight I went out to a hockey game, so I thought that I would dress up. I wore this adorable 1960's dress and jacket set by Irving Korny. I found it a few days ago at a thrift store and immediately fell in love. It wasn't badly priced either, at only $7.

Sometimes it can be really fun going out dressed in vintage head to toe. Tonight I went to a local hockey game, a hobby of mine. I wore this there and sometimes it was hilarious to see people's reactions. Most of the time people do enjoy what I wear, though there have been a few unimpressed stares, mainly from younger women. I do have to say though, that most elderly people do enjoy seeing me dress like this on a regular basis.
The accessories I am wearing are a 1950's velvet hat and three bracelets all from a thrift store. Sadly the bracelets aren't Bakelite but I like them anyways. They actually can fit onto my wrists, which is surprising because vintage jewelry usually doesn't. I do wish I had some Bakelite in my collection that actually fit me. One day I suppose!
Thank you for reading, and have a wonderful day!
I love your new outfits. You look especially adorable in your blue sweater and peddle pushers. I have a hard time finding bakelite bangles and also gloves that fit my hands. It's one of the burdens of being 5' 10" and loving vintage.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much!
DeleteI am the exact same, I only have a few pairs of gloves because they're always so tiny. The main problem for me though is finding shoes, I am a size 11. It's hard enough to find non vintage shoes in my size haha.
What a fabulous dress! Your hat is wonderful too :) I also live on the Canadian prairies and get very similar reactions that you do, especially when I go back to my small town in West-Central Saskatchewan.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the compliments. I love your blog by the way. <3
DeleteBeautiful! I love the dress and the hat and you look fabulous in them. I love it even more knowing you went to a hockey game in it. Why not do something you love while looking FABULOUS?!
