Black Tie Cowgirl

Pin It

Dress: Vintage Nipon Boutique, a few similar options: one, two, three, four. Boots: Charlie 1 Horse Luchese. Hat: Forever 21, (similar). Purse: Chanel. Sunglasses: Blinde (similar pair).  Necklace: by boe. Earrings: Luv Aj.  Bracelets: All hand-me-downs from my Grandmother.

I'll say it, and I'll say it again, not that I need to.  I wear my cowgirl boots with everything, even with a cocktail dress for a fun night at Rooster's.  I know it doesn't really match (you know the Queen City Style is not a matchy matchy place anyway), but I like what I'm comfortable in, and I'm sticking to it.  My cousin gave me this little black tie number about 20 years ago.  It has seen many many grab-a-dates, cocktail parties and various other cocktail functions, not just on me but by a number of girlfriends.  I have to do a fairly choreographed shimmy to get it over my 10,000 body parts, but I dig it, so it's worth the dab of perspiration. Hi-Yo, Silver! Away!

Thank you ever so much for bein' here!

True Love at Hong Kong Vintage

Pin It

Dress: My Grandmother's. Boots: J. Crew (old), here's a pair on sale. Purse: Chanel. Sunglasses: Blinde, similar pair. Headband: ZoeLynn & Co. (last seen here with flower). Earrings: old, similar pair. Necklace: Jewelmint. Bracelet: My Great-Grandmother's. Rings: Melinda Maria, Tiffany, custom at Diamond Direct.

If you've been here just a few weeks you likely know my passion for refined vintage garb.  If you live in the Queen City and you share an appreciation for rare and cultivated threads, you owe it to yourself to pay a visit to hong kong vintage on Central Avenue.  Of course, if you also possess the obsessed eye for such aesthetically resplendent threads, you may already know for yourself about the greatness at hong kong vintage.  This store provides the quintessential experience equivalent to that of a kid in a candy store, the getting is so sweet.  When deciding where Donna and I would shoot one of my favorite dresses which belonged to my Grandmother, hong kong vintage just made perfect sense.  Go get some sugar for yourself.

Thanks for being a sweetie and visiting!
