shop update.

I haven't been updating as much as I'd like since I moved, mostly because the color of my walls is so hard to work with for shop photos. Depending on the garment color, sometimes it comes out a light, pretty custard-y yellow, and other times it comes out a harsh, dark mustard yellow. Which is fine as a wall color but a bit too severe for shop photographs and definitely not as soft as I'd like. It made it very difficult to create a cohesive look in my shop. 

So...I finally gave up trying to work with my stubborn, difficult walls and painted my shop-photo wall WHITE. It's so much easier to work with now, and I'm still working on it but I think it looks much, much better. Now I'm motivated to list more often (and shop for my shop more) which is a good thing because after all, this is my job.

This week's shop update is filled with pretty 1950s and 1960s dresses with bold prints- perfect for Spring and Summer. A bit of a mish-mash but I wanted to pile in as many new listings as I could just to get caught up. The next one will be a bit more coordinated. All dresses are available in the shop now.

mod.

i went through a pretty big 'mod' phase years and years ago (didn't everyone?), when all i wore were tights paired with tiny mini dresses and black or silver flats, big rings and cat-eye liner (which i still do). my favorites styles are still split between the 60s and the 20s, i don't find the 1960s nearly as enthralling and romantic as the 1920s and other early 20th century decades, but i still find myself gravitating towards these pieces when i come across them. i found these pretty, glossy patent heels at the estate sale i visited last weekend, and i just couldn't resist. i've been searching everywhere for a pair just like the black ones, but unfortunately these are not my size. both of these are in the shop right now.
