Treasury Tuesday – The Beach Beckons

Feelin' beachy? I know I am. Oh to wade in the warm water and lay in the sand! I must get myself to the NC beaches soon! 

Today's treasury, curated by Elena at PortLove, is as enticing as it gets right now. All these items are making me fidgety for the ocean! Especially that 60s tote. Wouldn't that be perfect to pack a few books or magazines and carry to a day at the shore?! Also riding the wave of this beautiful collection are my nautical button earrings, "Sail on Sailor"!

The Sunday Snag – Snags Combine!

Vintage/Modern Combo Outfit with pieces from early 1900s to now

Let's play "Spot the Snag"! Can you remember any of these pieces in past Sunday Snags? I'll give you a hint: There are three.

Give up? Okay. The brooch is from a relatively recent Snag, "Trinket in the Treasure Box". Next, the jacket blouse was in the Snag, "Fab 40s". Last, those pantalones can be found in a long ago Snag, "Leggy Peggy". 

Their powers have combined to form one comfy vintage chic outfit! You may recognize the setting as being the same as from my Bucket List Outfit, where my hubs and I stayed in a gorgeous B&B for our 10th wedding anniversary. This was from that same stay, but is just way late coming to your eyeballs. Makes sense, as I probably would not be wearing this many layers in mid-July. This outfit was perfect for dinner in early June though. It had been raining that entire day and was relatively cool. I typically get cold in restaurants and in the evening, so it was nice to wear trousers and have a jacket that I could take off if necessary.
