Slip and Fall

I don’t miss the Florida weather at all. I’m happy to be back in Ohio’s crisp autumn air. All the fashion bloggers (in the northern hemisphere) are waxing rhapsodic about the return of boots and tights weather, but I’m also excited about the return of slips to my wardrobe.

Blouse, Express. Skirt, George (thrifted). Boots, Nine West. Leather cuff, Epcot Canada. Headband, self made. Bag, World Market.


I’m not one to talk about my underthings on my blog (I receive enough pervmail already, thank you), but I love vintage slips. They are so prettily embellished and only cost a few bucks at the thrift store. I’ve amassed a collection of at least a dozen. Unfortunately, they hang to the knee or longer and most of my dresses and skirts are hemmed to above the knee. I can’t hack off the slips without loosing some of the prettiest trim, so I wait until the return of cooler weather and longer, heavier skirts to wear them.
