Slip Sliding Away

Vintage Slip, Old Navy Tights, Vintage Boots, Handmade Necklaces.

A few weeks back, I mentioned a black slip I found at the Rose Bowl Flea Market and though I had envisioned pairing it with a chunky sweater, yesterday’s beautiful weather made the extra layer unnecessary.  I love the details on vintage slips (particularly this $8 find) and with this one’s delicately flowered lace and buttery silk, I just had to add it to my growing collection.

Gorgeous and so hip. Love the boots!

28 Wanderlusting { 02.02.09 at 4:28 pm }

Love love love.

I recently had a 90′s Party for my birthday in December (horrible 90′s outfits on my blog’s december section) and I really wanted to find a slip like this and wear it with cowboy boots. So Jewel.

Instead I picked horrible polyester florals.

I would totally wear a slip today, I wear chemises all the time under cardigans and blazers. You’ve found the perfect one to rock out in and the perfect weather to boot (red).

29 Eleonore { 02.02.09 at 4:52 pm }

I love your red boots!!!
Your are so pretty!

30 brandi { 02.02.09 at 5:13 pm }

38 Pixienish { 02.02.09 at 11:52 pm }

Beautiful slip. Beautiful you! Those boots add the right amount of spunk ;)

39 sarah! { 02.03.09 at 7:01 am }

Hey! Just wondering which camera model you’re using right now, as the quality of your photos seem really good!
Also, just asking if you have any to recommend? Because I am only a student who’s interested in photography, but with no money to her name.
Please help out! Thanks lots!

40 Cherry@NewburghRestoration { 02.03.09 at 8:17 am }

Yeah-can’t see using this

41 First Lady of MADE { 02.03.09 at 8:29 am }

this looks so great! vintage is definitely the way to go!

42 Amber Eilert { 02.03.09 at 11:16 am }

you might be the only one who could rock that outfit – looks fab!

43 Nina { 02.03.09 at 11:44 am }

gorgeous! you look like sienna miller in the 1st photo.

44 Budget Babe { 02.03.09 at 2:20 pm }

I looove the layered necklaces, and the slip totally works because you paired it with black tights and flat boots (this is me deconstructing the look, taking notes, etc.!)

45 LilMiss { 02.03.09 at 2:54 pm }

No….NOOOOO…NOOOOOOO. Common now – your most inspiring than this!!!

46 Lauren K { 02.03.09 at 8:17 pm }

50 Cece { 02.05.09 at 8:56 am }

We are huge slip girls too. We actually silk screen skulls, and crowes and vintage microphones on them ( not all together – separately of course ). We also embellish with vintage lace and special stitching.

51 jess { 02.05.09 at 11:33 pm }

red & black is always grand. it’s a sunny day outfit that’s also winter appropriate. i like i like :) )

52 Leia { 02.06.09 at 6:12 am }

Gorgeous slip! Don’t know if I’d be able to wear it on its own like that, but it is definitely an amazing find.

53 Christina Sanders { 02.08.09 at 9:12 am }
