When I try, I freeze, or risk going ass over tits on the icy sidewalk. When I'm warm, toasty and can trudge safely, it's def not a sexy look. At all. Would only all the sidewalks be cleared of ice, salt, sand, snow, 3/4 sleeves and long gloves be practical, muffs not get dirty on the bus/train!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-40705793252497429402011-11-11T11:55:32.151+00:002011-11-11T11:55:32.151+00:00I could feel myself forgetting to breath as I look...I could feel myself forgetting to breath as I looked down these pictures, all of them I WANT!!!!

As a child I had a prized button collection from my seamstress grandmother & mother's castoffs; I gave them all names and backstories. The tupperware containing them was found in my mother's house a few years ago and I've been trying to incorporate them into things subtly. But they're mostly singles, so slow going. Good fun though. <br /><br />I think the only garment I made buttons-up was my black wool pin-dot CP Parfait- with these wonderful vintage buttons- that was a long time ago though. I have designed many more things in my head with buttons as starting point than I ever actually made, I'm afraid. But then that goes for everything.Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01324854929065302634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-26380034039661579792011-11-05T11:21:49.888+00:002011-11-05T11:21:49.888+00:00Those dresses!

Those silly splayed stances! That first coat is deeevine. I love how it is cut just a little fitting before it flares out. Easy enough to extend the sleeves! <br />it does all seem a bit much here though, where we are in late spring and the weather is starting to warm up considerably. and I'm hauling light cottons and linens out of my stash to make up...MrsC (Maryanne)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14440723067459232998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-77995141432061849092011-11-04T22:04:06.201+00:002011-11-04T22:04:06.201+00:00Yeah, I find it hard to believe that anyone in Can...Yeah, I find it hard to believe that anyone in Canada ever wore 3/4 length sleeves in winter.

And I love your 50s daydream, including how it ends! ;)<br /><br />I achieve moments of winter style glory, and it's easier now that I have an awesome winter coat, but it's still hit or miss. And when it hits the temperatures where your eyelashes frost up, well, there's just something not terribly stylish about that look regardless what else you're wearing...Tanit-Isishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15824217102632813598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-80856559649899911702011-11-04T18:43:10.699+00:002011-11-04T18:43:10.699+00:00I might have to take the 1970s route to staying wa...I might have to take the 1970s route to staying warm during the winter. Lots of turtlenecks beneath cute pinafores, wide-leg trousers (great for lining with flannel or wearing with warm boots underneath) and feminine blazers. <br /><br />A gorgeous, long coat never hurt anyone though :) These are lovely! That print on the coat in the photo of the girl and artist? Incredible!<br /><br />Have you ever considered trying "DIY December", or something like "Me Made May" during the colder months? It'd be an interesting (and trickier) challenge!Xenia Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08880128865699100105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-45855278504176263222011-11-04T16:12:18.870+00:002011-11-04T16:12:18.870+00:00My mom wore miniskirts with sheer hose in the wint...My mom wore miniskirts with sheer hose in the winter in the late sixties/early seventies, in freezing, snowy Bucharest.
