I know I'm not alone in saying that vintage lingerie was TRULY an artform! The pure architecture in each design is second to none! Modern day lingerie lines are bringing back the decadence and saving us from the pain of finding something that really makes us feel glamourous!
My collection has grown in the past few years because I found that anything else I was buying from modern day retailers fell apart, weren't structured and just plain didn't do much visually! These pieces are almost like my cloak of confidence! Whenever I'm feeling anxious, down in the dumps and just plain mentally beaten, I put one on and BOOM! I feel like a new person.
I must admit, I'm not someone who wears vintage from head to toe (although it's tempting). I'm curvy (which makes it tricky to find pieces that fit properly) and live in a region where when it's -20 degrees below zero, I'm not concerned with my clothing as much as I am about not dying of Hypothermia! With that being said, it really is a treat to have a day where the stars align and I can put on my favorite vintage dress and bustier. I'm pretty sure if I had a superhero outfit, that would be it :)

This is a selection of my favorites, including a bunch of Lady Marlene's :)
I may be entering hoarder status with these, but the plain and simple truth is... these make you feel GOOD! I dare anyone to try one of these babies on and say otherwise!
Bustier: Vintage "Lady Marlene"
Lace Top: Nasty Gal
It's blatantly obvious, in this blog, that I LOVE, ADORE and am OBSESSED with pairing my bustiers with sheer outfits :) This isn't a novel idea by any means, but one I've become quite attached to. Again, I find this the perfect mix of sexy and (my favorite word) mysterious!
