Looking Back at 2012 -- Part V

Dear Dress Lovers,

Are you by any chance still looking back?  Are you reminding yourself of your resolutions?  (If you make them.)  I took some time today to look back at some photos from May 2012, a glorious month for me!  It was the month I married the love of my life.  It was the month I collected very fun vintage pieces for a wedding trousseau and honeymoon vacation!

I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I did!

Retro-looking pants for a beach trip.




Vintage 1980s playsuit.


And a collection of hats to keep the sun off my face.


Trying a vintage Nieman Marcus dress on my granddaughter for the upcoming wedding day. 

And practicing with my hair, something blue, and choosing a wedding dress.





Having fun with the vintage suitcase that I took on my honeymoon.




Lots of pre-wedding errands to run!

Now, before I run away, I wanted to share a picture from my picture collection.  This lady is not a family member to me, but just someone I could not resist bringing home with me.  This came from a photo album in an old box in an upstairs room of a thrift store (old house) in Durham, North Carolina.


Isn't she just absolutely beautiful and full of life!?  And look at that outfit!!  That's a perfect beach outfit if I have ever seen one!  I would love to see the colors in that skirt!  Puts me in the mood to shop!

I adore your comments! Thank you for taking the time! Of note, all comments are moderated due to the ridiculous spam that comes through. Sigh. ;)
