Unoriginal Title: Latest Vintage Looks

Here in lovely ol' Fargo, ND, the weather is brisk (sub zero), snowy (blizzard) and glittering (death ice), but my need to dress up still holds strong 😉
The standard outfit for me, especially lounging around the house, is one of the many 1960's wraps / shawls that I own. This one is Faux Leopard and lined with Black Silk Acetate.  I mean COME ON, does this not scream Marilyn Monroe's outfit in "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes"? Of course I always have to get my Eyeliner on point aka my war paint 😊

Eyeliner via Wet-N-Wild (the best eyeliner in the world)


 This 1960's Pink Silk, embroidered robe is something I sought after for awhile and stumbled upon while buying a huge lot of random vintage clothing on eBay. 
I LOVE wearing it with my Nasty Gal Bodysuit and some jewelry from my Turquoise collection. My big girl job is Managing a salon & one of our lovely clients made and designed this necklace herself! If you live near or in Veil, CO, she sets up at local markets selling a lot of her jewelry.

Here are a couple of my latest additions to my lingerie collection!
The top bra is from the 1940's & is completely sheer with little underarm shields to prevent any little outfit blemishes 😊I wish I had a better picture of the bottom over wire bra because the hand stitching is PHENOMENAL! I'll be doing a post in the future with up close photos of the detailing of my favorite lingerie pieces.

My Favorite Things 1.6: Style Icon Edition

Once in awhile I like to post some things that inspire me such as items I've purchased, seen online, etc. Today I wanted to share some of my style icons! I gravitate towards different styles depending on how I'm feeling, but some of my icons will always stay the same. I always get asked who I look up to for style inspiration and it's CONSTANTLY changing. I don't like using one person as an icon because I'm not one who finds that "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery". First up: Linda  Ramone I grew up listening to the Ramones, but, admittedly, I'm not an expert on their music. One thing I have paid close attention to is the style of Johnny Ramone's widow, Linda. Linda is not only an AMAZING philanthropist, but a true style WONDER!  Her use of color not only in her wardrobe, but her everyday life shows how unafraid she is of being looked at. From her vivid Flame colored hair to her silver Go-Go Boots, she's the embodiment...

What's Behind the Elusiveness of "Plus Size Vintage"?

My main goal when opening my business,  Carmine & Hayworth , was to open the arena of vintage fashion to EVERYONE! Especially those who didn't think vintage was made for their body type (that used to be me). When I started collecting vintage clothing I would collect dresses/ pieces that I WISHED I could fit into because I didn't think vintage pieces existed for someone like me who doesn't have a tiny waist or hips. It wasn't until I really started doing my research that I found a whole new world, of what I like to call, "Size Inclusive Vintage". Living in North Dakota, the world of vintage, especially vintage fashion, could be scarce. I had to SCOUR Etsy, Ebay and wherever I could outside of the state to find these elusive pieces. Once I taught myself how to track these pieces down, I was not only HOOKED, but I felt that I had a whole new appreciation for these clothes. 1950's Knit, Moss Green, Wiggle Dress by "Snyderknit of California Sports...

The One Phrase That Makes Me Cringe & How We Can Change It...

"I love vintage clothing, but I don't know when I'd wear it" Whenever someone makes that comment to me, my heart breaks a little.  The answer is that you can ALWAYS find a time & place to wear vintage!  The key is to have CONFIDENCE when you wear something outside of your comfort zone! Even if you're not confident, FAKE IT! Pretend you're playing a role until that confidence becomes the truth! I grew up wearing things, not necessarily vintage, that always caused people to talk, sneer or poke fun at me.  That's was people do when they don't understand you or, let's face it, life in general. Well guess what? That's NOT your problem! If they don't like it, great! They don't have to wear it! That leaves more amazing clothing for you! Photo by Kelsey Jenson Photography One of my favorite things about wearing vintage is that I can incorporate those pieces into my newer outfits! Whenever I buy clothing, new or old, I always as...
