Sorry for the dorky post title. And while I’m apologizing, I might as well say sorry for the indoor, not naturally lit photos in this one. I haven’t gained the gumption to start taking photos around the building where I live. I haven’t found that spot where I can set up a tripod and look ridiculous taking a gazillion photos of myself without my neighbors seeing. So, yeah, standing in front of my armoire is just way too comfortable right now.

This 60s knit dress was given to me by the super stylish Nicole of Fashion Forestry and it’s been in my regular rotation ever since. No defined waist combined with the stretchy/cozy knit means straight-up comfort y’all!

60s bow blouse: found it on the street!
lacy white knee socks: H&M a few years ago
80s cat flats: ebay
coat: F21 a few years ago
vintage key and hearts wooden brooch: Alameda Antique Fair

I had fun at the SF Vintage Expo this past weekend, cruising the booths with the lovely Tina of Vintage Lovin’ Gal. I of course managed to find some treasures. Here’s a sneak peek of some of them:

And not pictured, but what will probably get the most use of all is a casual 1940s sporty wool jacket. It’s kind of what I went in hoping to find and it happened to be the first thing I found! So, I’m a happy, happy girl. Did any of you Bay Area gals go? I think it’s safe to say that I will not be buying any more vintage for a while.

I have shows coming up in San Francisco and beyond. Have a look-see at my calendar. But mark YOUR calendar for April 9 because you’re coming to this show:

I’m super excited about this show. It’s honestly the first comedy show I’ve produced in San Francisco in years! Plus it combines everything I love: Comedy, Vintage, Fashion, and Drinks! Comedians are asked to wear their favorite outfits and are brought on stage not by a list of their show biz credits, but with details on what they are wearing. There will be costume changes! Maybe a live makeover! Come early (doors are at 7) and stay a bit late to shop vintage clothing from my private collection as seen here on this blog and in my etsy shop. Please come! You can buy tickets here.
