MY CLOSET: Sixties Streets - Vintage Adele Simpson

Vintage Adele Simpson Dress. Need I say more? 
 I got this dress from the American Cancer Society Discovery Shop. I always have a great time there. I love the thrill of the hunt AND I love the chats with the women who volunteer there. They love being there and it shows...also they are very knowledgable about all the vintage clothing. I highly recommend donating items to an ACS Discovery Shop and/or regularly shopping there. All proceeds go toward fighting cancer through research, education, advocacy and service. 
Now back to the dress...Gorgeous colors! Gorgeous detail! Look at that gold embroidery! Ugh, instant dress crush. It's a few sizes too big for me but I couldn't pass it up. (soooo many pins are in the back for these pics. haha!) The great thing about vintage clothes is that as long as it's in good condition, it holds it's resale value. It's usually a win/win with vintage, buy a decent priced quality made item, wear it a bit and then you can always resell.
Be sure to check out all the local Ohio Discovery Shop locations!

MY CLOSET: Vintage & Fields

WOW this outfit! WOW this field! It was a beautiful time. "Meet me at the edge of the world" is a new album Over The Rhine is coming out with soon. I just saw them play and they talked about their home and land in Cincinnati, Nowhere Farm...twirling around this field reminded me of this and their beautiful music. (I love Karin and Linford)
This outfit was perfect for the surrounding scenery. It's simple elegance with lush fabrics and oversized fit has made it my new fave...and it's great to twirl and dance in. I got the lovey vintage copper skirt and  Oscar de la Renta kimonoish piece from a fashion event at NOTO, a small boutique in downtown Akron. The black top is a silk, raw edge tee from Banana Republic. The trendy rose gold sandals are a cute and surprisingly comfy pair from Forever 21.
