Ah, fake pants. I am currently wearing leggings, and wore them Wednesday too. It's so lazy and almost gross, but they are warm and comfortable. I'm starting to hate jeans, if I may be perfectly honest. The kind of jeans I need to buy for my comfort and body type are so expensive (cough J Brand cough) so $10 leggings are looking good to me. I didn't wear jeans as a child- I was always worried my skin would get caught in the fly, haha. And they were so stiff. So I always wore either dresses, skirts, or leggings. Pretty much like now. I have come full circle.

And yes you read correctly in that second outfit's details; that necklace's twin will be in my jewelry shop! I've got the name, the banner, the photographs edited. I just gotta list everything, which I hope to do tomorrow along with a long-overdue shop update. I'm excited! I hope you all like the pieces I've been working on, I'm really proud of them.

And just another reminder, the sale in my shop is still going on!

Day After Black Friday

I hope everyone out there survived Black Friday. I, for one, was at work from 9a to 8p (yuck) but I survived intact. I've never been one to care about Black Friday. I have don't recall checking the sales fliers in anticipation as I have had no need for doorbusters. I know a few vintage sellers on etsy went thrifting yesterday and scored big; unfortunately since I worked I missed a lot of sales at the thrifts as well. I did get a fair haul in my hometown on Wednesday, however, and those and the hats I re-shot will make their way over to the shop Monday hopefully. And just a reminder, through Monday at Slubird Vintage a sale is going on: 10% off one item, 15% off two items, and 20% off three or more items.

Another sale I had to take advantage of, thanks to Lindsay, was at Tulle. All weekend the whole site is 50% off with free ground shipping. What? I know! Prices are so low, Forever 21 is blushing. These two cuties will be finding their way into my closet soon:



Also I have a bunch of Holiday cards I would love to send to you fab bloggers, so if you want one email your address to slubird@gmail.com.

Thanksgiving Sale at my Etsy Shop!

New Treasury, Layout, and Some Family History

My new treasury! Femme Fatale. This one was really fun to do, and I've got another fun one coming that I hope to do some time in the next week. Please check it out and leave me a comment!

Also, I totally redid the ole blog, take a look and let me know what you think? The photographs are all the stylish women of my family (all on my mom's side, not saying my dad's is less stylish I just didn't have any photographs handy!). L>R 1st row: aunt Pam, my grandma; 2nd row my cousin Amy, my mom, my grandma again.

My grandma, Betty Lucille (we all called her Betty Lou) was one stylish lady. When she had my mom, her youngest, she was 44 and rode to the hospital in a leopard print dress in a Convertible with the top down. She was born in 1908, so when I was 17 I was so jealous of her being 17 in 1925. Quel glamoreuse, n'est pas? Here are some more pictures of Betty Lou:



far right, I think she looks absolutely stunning here





on the left, I love her suit



Every time I see Pammy she swears I look just like her, but I don't think I'm nearly as pretty. I do dress like her, though, and every time I find a photo of her I want her clothes! She lived to be 81, quite a feat, but unfortunately I wasn't even 3 when she died. I know she and I would have been great friends, my earliest memories are actually of seeing her before she died and she was still as spry and crazy as ever. I never tire of hearing stories about her, too.

Some Current Treasuries

Just a little update letting you all know I made my first etsy treasury the other day: In the Navy! There's some great sellers with items showcasing this marvelous colour.

I'm also in these treasuries by some great ladies:

Pretty Golds, Greens, Reds by House of Hearts
A Bit Romantic by Sea Pinks
The White Queen by Hinterland Vintage (My piece just sold a few minutes ago, it was the white sweaterdress. Great theme, though!)

I am addicted to treasuries! Have you ever made a treasury? What was your theme?
