I often have a couture imagination when it comes to vintage clothing. I oogle lavish dresses and tend to ignore the wardrobe basics.
The problem is, I have no cocktail parties to attend, no gala events, no silent auction dinners, so I need not own a $300 Ceil Chapman frock.
To combat this I have been making it a point to only invest in day-wear and wardrobe necessities. Today while I was visiting at The Urban Eccentric, I nabbed this wonderful little blouse. It has grey and red roses on it. The blouse matches perfectly with my red and grey hat that I picked up there on another recent trip.
I cant explain to you how lucky I am to have a local Vintage shop that is as amazing as the Urban Eccentric is. You can get the best deals in little vintage shops, and no shipping to boot!

I suffer from the same syndrome!
I think that's a great daywear look and it is so difficult to find vintage daywear in such good condition.
Good score!
yeah its very hard to find nice blouses and such that are not ruined.
If you sew, you can always go that route too :) That has been my new mission. sewing blouses.
Chris once suggested we all have a fancy dress party to wear our impractical fancy dresses. I say that is a fabulous idea.
Very cute, I just love that hat, for some reason its difficult to find a nice red hat, and they look oh so good!
You look lovely in your blouse - I'm trying to resist cocktail dresses and invest in day-wear too! Lucky you to have a good vintage store nearby - how I wish I did! Vintage is always expensive in my area xx
