I love feeling as though my clothes have had these fabulous lives--maybe as a dress someone made for a special occasion, or as a treasured purchase that a young lady saved for. By wearing them, it's like I'm adding to their stories.<br /><br />This look is just perfect from head to toe, and I love how you personalized the dress a bit to make it more unique. :)Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16463432808765352721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1838907812842203131.post-77426731306731754312011-06-28T10:45:33.118-04:002011-06-28T10:45:33.118-04:00There I was looking for pictures of the album cove...There I was looking for pictures of the album cover for Sweetheart of the Rodeo by the Byrds as I'm thinking about having the lovely cowgirl with the heartshaped roses surrounding her as a tattoo on my right arm, when I stumbled upon this blog. These outfits are outstanding! I live in Bath, England, and there are so few of us here that apparently appreciate this kind of thing. I've grown up on the Anthology of American Folk Music, already have a Hank Williams tribute portrait on my left arm, and have written a novel set in the Deep South which will hopefully be published soon. It's incredible coming across this site. Where do you get all these outfits from?Tom Abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00513869840426187730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1838907812842203131.post-649116179256037772011-06-27T13:03:43.530-04:002011-06-27T13:03:43.530-04:00I thought I commented on this already, but apparen...I thought I commented on this already, but apparently I did not! i love that hat so much! I hear you on why one would prefer the unique love of vintage where no one else seems to have the same outfit you have, etc. It is just more fun!!
