The Sunday Snag – Leggy Peggy

I've been hunting for a pair of high waist pants for a while now. I wanted a vintage style and in a color that would match most tops as well. I, luckily, snagged this pair of sleek trousers from The Vintedge Co.! They are actually vintage 80s-90s, but done in a 50s style. The measurements are slightly larger than mine, but this was perfect because I can tailor them to my body instead of praying for a miracle! Any suggestions on what type of blouse you would pair with this leggy staple??? I would love to hear your ideas and thoughts!

**********************************************************************************************************Update: I got my first chance to wear these the other day and I paired it with a deep red knit top with 40's gathered shoulders and a neckline like this dress. For accessories, I had a pair of vintage gold and moonstone stud earrings, black enamel flower brooch, and a large deep crimson silk scarf with the tiniest polka dots tied into a bow on the side of my pin up hairstyle. Danced all night and the trousers were wonderful!

Last Week's Sunday Snag:

First Edition

Thursday Thrill – A Day in Bed

Haven't you had those days where you could lie in bed forever? Not the "Uhg, I don't want to get up, I'm so freakin' tired" kind of morning, but the "Ahh, these sheets feel glorious and it's the weekend. Oh honey??? Could you make breakfast today? I'll have toast and tea in bed please. Thank you." kind of mornings. These are rare, but beautiful to me. The mornings that you can wake up feeling...strangely...happy? Not disgustingly tired, but refreshed. I'm actually afraid to let my toes hit the floor on those mornings. Afraid that that bubble will quickly burst. But oh, those mornings of leisure and comfort do come and if I were to have one soon, I would want these items in my bedroom as I awake...

A Day in Bed

Organic Bed Linen with Colored Stitching by FeneroArt

   

I would wake slowly, feeling crisp, cool sheets on my legs. Stretching my toes, the smooth sateen texture of organic fabric would softly caress my skin. 

Women's Lingerie with Lace Trim by Sandmaiden Sleepwear

Of course, in my dream morning, I would wake up looking adorably tousled in gorgeous lingerie. Does this...scratch that...has this ever happened? Not yet, but I'm optimistic about the future.

Three Dimensional Mirrored Art Piece by A Bright Black

Soft, morning light would start to filter into the bedroom through gauzy curtains. Once the rays reached the mirror hanging above the bed, sparkling prismatic images would burst into dance across the room.

Antique Embroidered Liberty Robe from La Sartoria

Gently slipping on a vintage silk kimono, I would quietly get back into bed, open the morning newspaper (on my iPad) (I don't have one, but this is my dream so work with me), and await the breakfast that I can already smell toasting. 

Organic Lavender Sachets by Gardenmis

As I adjust myself on the bed into a comfortable seated position, the scent of lavender would start to become apparent and I would smile, remembering that I had left a sachet in my kimono pocket to freshen it a few days before.

Aromas of steaming tea, buttered toast, and lavender now mix together into the scent of what will surely be the perfect morning.

Frosted Kiss of January

Wordless Wednesday – Early Bloom

These are the lovely trees that I use as my ChatterBlossom background. There was an early bloom this January when we had an unexpectedly warm bought of weather.

That's What She Said

Treasury Tuesday – Rustic Greys

As you all may have noticed, I love things with a bit of history and age. Worn by time and use, some items just get better in my eyes. Crisp, modern items have their appeal (perfect, shiny, and new), but pieces from long ago make me think, feel, and imagine. A good comparison is the difference between books in a Barnes & Noble and books in an old library. I love books either way, but the atmosphere around them is very different.

Today's treasury embodies that hidden library feel. This weather worn collection was curated by Nora at VintageNoraLane and she was kind enough to include my vintage button hair pins, which also totally made my day!
