The other day my hair decided to do an early 60's flippy thing, so I went with it. I used to be very into the 60's vibe when I was in college and haven't done a lot of it since. I really enjoyed this look though, and I may have to replicate it more often.
Can we talk about this coat for a moment? I went to the flea market, last year actually, and saw this darling cream coat and thought "I don't have anything like that", so I proceeded to check it out. I then saw the Lilli Ann tag on the coat and realized it probably wasn't going to be in my price range. I asked the lady who was selling it how much she wanted for the coat and she says "Ohhh, maybe $20?" ...Um, yes! That is right in my budget and a $20 quite well spent for a Lilli Ann coat.

Oh wow, what a good find!!! This isn't EXACTLY the same, but it's similar and $300: http://nvisionshop.com/?wpsc-product=lilli-ann-cream-mohair-swing-coat
ReplyDeleteAlso, I think the softer makeup looks lovely on you. With such good skin and bone structure, you don't need much makeup to be beautiful.
Geez! It's so awesome to know I got such a great deal. No way I would be buying a $300 coat. Oh thank you, that's super sweet!
Deletei LOVE those scottie pins! i have one that says marge! i've seen a few around, it would be a fun thing to collect!
ReplyDeleteYes! I have seen several damaged one's missing their pin parts and such so I was super excited to receive this as a gift. I'm really in love with name brooches, I need to start collecting more and I already have 4 various scottie dogs, I love them so.
DeleteAaah! This look is so pretty on you!! It had a very brunette Kim Novak look to it if that even makes sense. I now want to join you and Rae in the Scotty pins club, keeping my eyes peeled. :D
ReplyDeleteOhh thank you. I will take any compliment with Kim Novak's name in there :). Oh you should! I'll let you know if I see any!
DeleteThis style really suits you!
ReplyDeleteOh! LOVE this look on you! You should totally recreate it more often.
ReplyDeleteAnd that coat…. um… gimme ;) What a score of scores!

You look so lovely! That is such a beautiful coat. It fits you so perfectly. What a lucky find! And I really like your little scottie dog brooch.
ReplyDeleteLove this look, looks so very Twin Peaks to me :) Always adorable!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I sometimes secretly wish to be Audry Horne, so ya know :)
DeleteNow that is one for the awesome steal of a deal vintage fashion files if ever there was! I landed a purple and cream LA suit jacket (sadly the skirt was long gone) for $40 last September (on our trip to Calgary) and felt like I did quite well there, but that pales compared to just $20 for this timelessly fantastic coat. Great find and fabulous styling - an early 60s vibe works tremendously well on you, dear gal.

ReplyDeleteI have a similar coat - it's camel-colored, early fifties - that I found for TWELVE DOLLARS at Plato Closet. I am never that lucky, it was crazy.
