Sunday Best: Mad men lady

Today I feel as thought I had walked out of the 50's. This skirt was one of my finds Friday, as usual it was very small on the waist and had a few tears, nothing this savvy refashionista could not fix. I forgot to take a before picture of the skirt, the wool jacket is vintage too, very warm and cozy when I bought it I knew it would look perfect belted. I am still looking for the perfect black circle skirt and the perfect grandpa cardigan, I hope I find them!
Outfit Details:
Shirt: thrifted /I added a rhinestone detail around the neckline.
Skirt: vintage/ altered by me
Belts: thrifted
Jacket: Vintage
Shoes: Old Navy (old)
Bag: vintage / garage sale

Merry Sunday! I finally posted to my blog! YAY!

I hope all is well. I'm playing blog catch up this week. While I haven't commented as often as I would like to (on your blog), I'm still reading!

The men's department at the thrift stores always have hidden treasures, as far as I'm concerned. :)

Love that skirt!

I'd love to see a tutorial on how to make the waistband bigger. I often have that problem with vintage skirts that I want to buy and I'd love to know how to fix it.

You always look amazing. I would have never thought that went together. You rocked it though.

Love the mix of plaids here! I think the mix makes the look modern, even if it is 50s inspired.
