Red White Blue and Yellow

I have not really been updating outfit posts because, I am not really feeling all that inspiring these days. I wear the same 4 dresses over, and over, and over again. This is the first time I have brought this little 50s tent dress out of the closet though, so I felt it might be blog worthy. I bought it over the summer from HenHouse Vintage when I first found out I was pregnant, but it just now seems to fit my ever growing belly.



I am working on getting myself out of the funk of pregnancy, but its hard when all you want to do is wear your old clothes, and not look like you are the size of a tug boat. I keep counting down the days, I am sitting right at 2 months left... I can make it, right? Right???

Palmer Wirfs Antique Expo

This past weekend was the Portland Antique Expo - Summer Edition. I picked Solanah up in the wee hours of the morning, and we made the short trek to the exposition center to get our vintage on. I wore a wonderful dress of Solanah's that once belonged to Coedith, and Amy of Team Jessup. This dress is like the village bicycle (hehehe..) It was perfect for the extremely warm weather.
We went on dealer day/early entry day so we got first pick on lots and lots of superb vintage. We also came across many fun 50s bras, that begged to be tried on. I found myself wearing underwear on the outside several times that day.
While we were shopping around Lulu's Booth, we ran into Julie of Fab Gabs Vintage, where we snapped this shot and then took a time out for strawberry lemonade.
At one point my Crinoline began to slip down and was completely hanging out the back of my dress, so in the vacant parking lot I had to rearrange myself, thank goodness Solanah was there to capture this important moment. /sarcasim.

When we got home and sorted out all our goods, I felt very satisfied about our haul. I nabbed many 40s and 50s dresses, and got myself a beautiful strapless bullet bra and seamed stockings.
Nearly everything I bought was for my Etsy Shop, and much of it is listed, with more on the way!
The most wonderful find of the whole trip was the early 40s Maternity dress, it is the most exquisite thing I have ever found, so, expectant vintage mother's rejoice!

Dress is available HERE.

I can't wait til March when the Expo is back, and I can buy a metric ton of vintage all over again!
If you live in the pacific northwest it is a must-do event, I highly suggest checking it out.
