My vintage disco pants make me sooo much happier than the American Apparel navy disco pants I bought last winter. The AA ones feel like a huge ass pair of Spanx. Yuck. I think I'll sell them.
These babies feel like soft, luscious jeans. I had to man up in order to get from my house to the subway in this outfit but I got there with a bunch of stares and only one smart ass comment from some girl who said, " I wish I would" while staring straight at me but talking to her friend. I just smiled and shook my ass a lil harder.
I'm so excited for this coming weekend. It will be filled with photo dreams and flea market thrifting fantasies.
Dear Fashion Gods,
Please please please let me find a vintage denim jumpsuit and a DVF vintage wrap dress that some old lady's children threw out because they knew no better. I've been a good lil FASHIONSNOB as of late.
Bowie was the second concert young lady squeeze had the pleasure to wear a church dress too. That tour as of course the "Let's Dance" tour of 1983. I can still feel the total rush of emotions that ran through my whole body when the beats started pulsating and the lights started blinking and out stepped the Thin White Duke. my little legs started moving to the beat but that's alll that really moved cuz I was so embarrassed to actually dance like I had practiced in my mirror sooo sooo many nights leading up to the conchairto.
The moment my mom told my older brother that she got 3 tickets from her job for the Bowie concert and that he had no damn choice (her words)but to take me with him and his friend, young lady squeeze started plotting her outfit. Being that this was only the second concert I had ever been to (the first being Prince's Purple Rain tour, accompanied my my mom who wore a homemade one shouldered zebra stripped jumpsuit and it was totally embarrassing. Anyway, the point of the story is that I wore a damn church dress to see David Bowie. How I wish I could turn back time....if I could find a way.
This video Ashes to Ashes came out in 1980 and to me is one of the more interesting videos that Bowie put out.
There are few things that bring me more excitement than my love of vintage clothing.
It will always remain my biggest vice. Now that the years have added up to qualify me as officially grown (despite having given birth to 2 delicious humans), my search for all things Vintage have taken me to uncharted territories.
Designer Vintage......just the thought makes my mouth water.
I found this Vintage YSL Swing coat for a disgustingly cheap price of 26 bucks.
That's how I like it.
Please excuse the beyond generic photo. I still have no camera after being robbed last Halloween. My lovely children did replace my stolen Ipod with an Ipod touch for Mama's Day so at least I am walking with music once again. I am still saving my pennies for my dream camera.
