This is what I wore today while going grocery shopping, vintage hunting and making a trip the post office, to mail some very special dresses. It's been rainy and cold here, but I don't mind. I get to wear my rain boots after all! This post is also the debut of one of my favorite pieces of furniture ever! My 1940s radio/record player that I bought for only $20! The record player doesn't work so I still use my new vintage style one. The radio still lights up though! The rest of the day I plan on taking some pictures for my shop. Then later Jonny and I are going to going to eat pizza and watch Pearl Harbor. He's never seen it! If you haven't the 40s dresses are fabulous! Have a lovely weekend!Jacket: 40s junior, I found it in a pile on the floor at an antique shop in Maine for $8
Sailor skirt: church shop for $1, you can't see the entire wonderfulness of it in these pictures
Boots: Macys, years and years ago

Thanks for the positive feedback! I am in love with that radio...and what a score!! I want to get one when I have a place of my own to call home. I really like that its a cabinet type rather than a regular large radio. Maybe you could get it fixed to make it work??

I'm loving the tones in these photos! Well done and it makes your red lipstick really stand out.
I love Pearl Harbour, indeed the dresses are fabulous. But it's soo sad.

Oh I love your hat and jacket! (and completely understand about getting excited for reasons to wear rain boots:) I keep seeing an old radio in the window of a nearby antique shop. Its not nearly as large or fabulous, but always tempts me. I hope you have a wonderful night!
