I got this dress for a wedding I have in New York in June:

 

[Miss Sis]

Oooops! I bought a 1930s blouse! I'm hoping the colour is maize-coloured enough for my complexion to cope with and not too lemony.

 

[Miss Tuppence]

Miss Sis, that blouse is lovely! The detailing colour and style are all fantastic- will look super in the warmer months too.
Now wishing for a 30’s blouse of my very own…

Hi ladies,

A mixture of gifts and purchases, mostly gifts. Ninety percent of the jewellery is my Granny’s, the rest gifts from my mom.

Thank you, Miss T (and Black Dahlia!). I love blouses and skirts and wear them more than dresses. 1930s blouses do turn up but making them usually means they will be more sturdy.

I'm going to wear this with a brown tweed skirt I'm nearly finished making until the summer, then it will go with white linen.

I hardly ever purchase anything, but I walked in to H&M the other day and found my dream sweater! It looks like Marilyn's except the sleeves are 3/4 and have white (not tricolor) cuffs.

Love that sweater! I saw the one at H&M also. Cute!

Tried to PM you, but your inbox is full!

I went in to H&M some days ago and nearly freaked out when I saw that thing. I had the exact same picture of Monroe in my head for some time now.

 

[cherry lips]

^ I guess great minds think alike! It's even fitted and hits at the natural waist!

 

[Amie]

Cute. I saw that H&M sweater too yesterday.

Forever 21 has been coming out with these Schiaparelli esque sweaters:

I bought a similar one that is more similar to her bow sweater in black and white a few months back.
