Purple Vintage Space Princess: Frolicking Red Grassland
Purple Vintage Space Princess: Frolicking Red Grassland
It’s been raining for the past 3 days and I’m starting to get a bit perturbed! I can’t help that I adore the sunshine. I always feel extra lively when the sun is shinning bright and the air is warm. Spring will be over soon and it feels like it hasn’t truly begun.
I’m itching to pull out my summer wardrobe but the way the weather has been acting lately, I’m not exactly sure when I’ll be debuting my summer collection of dresses. I CAN’T WAIT TO SHARE WITH YOU!
For today, since it was a bit gloomy and dark out, I felt like being vibrant and exciting. For me, vibrant and exciting means COLOR! I wanted some VA VA VOOM red in my life! I had the perfect dress in mind. I dug deep into my stash (my Autumn weather stash of vintage, mind you….) for today’s outfit and pulled it together before heading outside to begin my day.
- Dress: Styleworks Vintage Red Wrap Dress. It’s made of comfortable jersey knit fabric. I use the wrap tie as a belt around my waist and fasten it with a sparkle vintage broach!
- Shoes: Navy High Heel Connie Commuter Pumps. These are the most comfortable brand of high heels I have ever worn! I got them at a great vintage shop in 2 other colors! Oooooh weeeee!
- Scarf: Vintage Oscar De La Renta Shawl. It has a beautiful print with colors of copper, black, purple and cream in it. It’s rayon and feels great on the neck and shoulders.
- Necklace: Vintage Gold Plated Elephant Pendant Necklace. It has a ruby colored jewel for its eye and green stones for its body. This necklace is amazing! It’s also available for sale in my boutique on Etsy!
- Ring: Amber stone gold clawed ring. It’s a beauty! I bought it from a vendor in Brooklyn NY who has the most beautiful one of a kind vintage jewelry for practically pennies! I love vintage vendors like that… they are so giving!
After snapping some photographs I spent some time with nature, listening to the birds talk to one another and meditated for awhile! It felt good to get centered today… especially in my vibrant red!
More Tales from my wardrobe much later, dearest PVSPians!

Tales From My Wardrobe: Purple Vintage Space Princess & Her Magical Luna Guitar
Tales From My Wardrobe: Purple Vintage Space Princess & Her Magical Luna Guitar
Vintage, Vintage & more vintage – I just can’t get enough!!!!
My day was full of picture taking, styling and vintage rummaging yesterday! It was a glorious Saturday.
When I really thin about it, my days are always filled with a vintage adventure but yesterday was especially fun.
A few weeks ago I cam across a great vintage petticoat that I just HAD to have. It was screaming for me to purchase it – so naturally I did the noble thing and scooped it right up! I didn’t know where or how I was going to utilize it but I knew the perfect opportunity would arise. And of course it did…
I shot a small video for the Luna Guitar company yesterday. I LOVE my Luna guitar and I will forever play their beautiful pieces of art. Luna Guitars putting together a 5 minute very cool video for their website displaying people who play their guitars and what they enjoy about them. I was asked to come up with a video clip and I was thrilled to be apart of the magic. Then it sparked – I HAD TO WEAR MY PETTICOAT! It just seemed perfect for this project.
I made some adjustments and reconstructed the petticoat into a tube like dress. I was very happy with the results. With some additions of my vintage accessories and jewelry, it all came together perfectly for the photo shoot and video session.
WHAT I WORE:
1. Vanilla beige vintage petticoat that I transformed into a Spring/Summer dress!
2. My favorite white leather Baquette belt!
3. Vintage heart broach with a pearl in the middle!4. Vendom AMAZING butterfly necklace that I wear as a headress.
5. Purple tights from Target!
6. Purple High Heels (My mothers handed down to me from the 70′s)
OH HOW I LOVE THY VINTAGE…
