flowers, beer gardens, driving with the windows open...

It's still a bit chilly, but maybe spring is here at last: we have daffodils! And there are lots of flowers and ruffles to usher in spring in this week's shop preview, but also some items for those of you who love the less than frilly gear: a vintage auto print blouse, a mod striped knit dress, and a great print blouse that will take you back to Art 101. Oh, yes, and a dress that makes me think of one of my favorite beverages.

  5. Seriously, I could never get tired of 50's cotton prints.. such good ones in here! I love Wendy Woods too, her stuff is always so over-the-top cute. Is that buttercup 50's shirt a medium/large by any chance?

  6. Thanks, lovelies!

    TGS--I love that buttercup blouse, particularly the gathers at the back (not seen in photo). Sadly, it measures closer to a XS-S (35" bust), as most of this gal's 50s clothing did (blouse came from a big estate buy last year).
