Mary Poppin Pink

Blouse:
    Unknown Brand
    Size: Around a 10
    Vintage

    I don't know how old this blouse is but it's at least pre-1990's. I love the pretty blouses from the 70's but so many of them where made with polyester. Ugh! Lately I have been trying to get some cotton blouses in my closet. However this one is cotton and belonged to my mom.
    I have also worn this blouse in the other following looks...
School Girl Nostalgia
Changing Decades 

Jacket:

    No Boundaries
    Size: M juniors 7/9
    RN# 76290

  Another piece I've had quite a while. Never thought to match it with this skirt but they may be because pairing different patterns together was a do not until more recently.

Skirt:

    Lucy Perels
    Size 10
    RN# 58011
    Item #35874

    They got me on this one! I don't know what the brand is for this skirt! I bought it new at Sears +Sears  many-many years ago so I know it's nothing rare but I can't read the font they used on the tag!!! And typing in what it looks like isn't helping me much... anybody have a clue?
    I bought it around the early 2000's. It's a little large on me but wearable. Skirts from that time had some interesting cuts to them as does this one.


Lipstick
Talk about a perfect pink??? Try Wet n Wild Pinkerbelle!








Shoes

    Brand Unknown

   These have no brand markings on them! They were new too! Oh well, do they fit? That's what matters ;-)

Sunday in the Park

Dress:

    Ruby Rox
  Size Junior 5
   RN #8785
   Style #Xmp62431
   Made in China
   Modern

   This dress is ADORABLE :-) My mom liked it to an Easter egg... but she meant it in a good way ;-D
   These picture were taken after church on Mother Day.
   I don't know a lot about Rubi Rox. Their website doesn't seem to be kept up well. This brand is sold in department stores like Macy's +Macy's  and Dillards. Dresses run about $50 but a number of stores have them marked down. I'm wondering if the brand is still in production.
   Honestly, it's not the highest quality garment in my closet but it's better then what they sell at Walmart these days.
   It looks strapless in these pictures but it's not. It has thin purple elastic straps.
   This dress is a true Junior's 5 and a near perfect fit on me.

Jacket:

    Noboundaries (Walmart +Walmart.COM  )
   Size Junior 7/9
   Color Parchment
   RN #76290
   Style #26k111
   Modern

    I've had this for years. I don't even really remember buying it. It's crochet. Use to have a matching string that weaves through the bottom and tied under the bust. Somehow it came out and I do still know where it is but I've started wearing it lately without it.

Shoes:

    Mossimo Supply Co (by Target +Target )
  Size 9
   Made in China  

   These shoes go well with this dress! When I bought these I thought they needed something. So I added a row of purple seed beads at the base of the first ruffle. I'm happy how it turned out!

Accessories:

    Christian Heart "Faith" Key Necklace

    White Tights

Is That Scary For You, Baby?

   First off… if you have never seen Michael Jackson’s +Michael Jackson  Ghost, it’s time! It impressed me more then Thriller the first I saw it! Check it out at the end of this post!

 

    And so rolls through another Halloween!!! Always one of my favorite holidays because of all the fun of putting on a costume! I even continued with the costumes as an adult. I have not missed a year but one, which was the year of Sandy. I spent that Halloween in a Red Cross shelter... tops on my worst hurricane experiences...

  

 

  T-Shirt:

Target T

Size M

RN# 17730

Made in Honduras

Modern

This is my favorite Halloween T-shirt! Not gory or evil, but beautifully creepy which is my style. :-) A large candelabra with spiders and spider webs.

 

Jacket:

Mossissue

Size L

RN# 17730

Made in Bangladesh

Modern

  By what I can gather Mossissue is made by Mossimo Supply Co. sold now only in the US by Target. Otherwise I'm not familiar with the brand. Nice comfy jacket. Been wearing it a lot lately in the northern Fall weather. I am surprised how warn denim can be!

 

Pants:

Faded Glory Quality Goods

Size 10P

Made in Bangladesh

RN# 52469

Modern

 

   These pants are comfy but too BIG! I need to fix these! I hate wearing belts unless they are some fancy cool thing that is more for looks!

 

Hat:

Bongo

Size OSFM (One Size Fits Most)

Made in China

   Smooth Criminal… yeah, gotta Michael Jackson theme going on here for sure!

 

    Got this hat on clearance at K-mart +Kmart . I’m a hat wearing type of girl. Love it in the north that you have an excuse to wear a hat for warmth. I’ve been a hat fan as long as I can remember.

As for "One Size Fit Most" if this hat were any smaller it would not fit my head.

 

Makeup:

NYC Liquid Lip Shine 554U Sungold Pink
Avon Glaze wear Liquid Lip Color G322 "Coral Beat"

    Day off = little makeup ;-) Just some lip gloss fun. The main coat is this unique almost metallic Pink from New York Color. I’ve had this gloss for years. I doubt they sell it anymore. I did a Google search for it and looks like you can pick it up on E-bay if it's worth over $10 a tube to you. It has lacquer type feel. For a two tone effect I have been seeing lately I put Avon’s "Coral Beat" in the insides of my lips.

    Avon changed their formula for Glazewear quite a while ago. This is the old formula I got a hold of when I sold Avon. I have to agree the old formula was better then what they replaced it with. It’s more moisturizing and thicker.

 

Hair:

 

   Braids! No, I wasn't going for the Adam’s Family look. This is just an easy way to wear my hair to keep it contained.

 

Jewelry:

Sleepy Hollow Pumpkin Jack-O-Lantern Bracelet

    This is really my mom’s but I wanted to share it with you all. It isn’t marked with a brand but it’s well made. Came from the Phillipsburg Manor Rockefeller estate gift shop where I work in Sleepy Hollow during the Halloween season.

   Now as promised... Michael Jackson's "Ghosts" ... enjoy :-)
