HEATWAVE and my outfits for coping with it

Massachusetts along with the rest of the East Coast is in the middle of a heatwave. Which got me thinking about how once it get's hot I stop dressing well. Men's vintage and vintage styled clothes are pretty darn warm. Jeans suck to wear, a lot of button downs are kind of thick. SO I decided to come up with an alternative to bad fashion for the heat.

This weekend I was given three pairs of 40s men's trousers. I love them but once pair was big in the waist and the leg length was too short. But it as so hot in suburban wonderland yesterday I threw on a wife beater and The pants that were too big and too short, cuffed them up and belted them. I was pretty sold on the idea after wearing it around and I wasn't sweating from just moving.

I was so sold on the idea that I went to goodwill this afternoon and picked up two new pairs of trousers to do this with. One pair is vintage and the second pair are just modern ones with a high waist(picked below) I can just throw on a cotton loop collar, be a little hussy and not button the first few buttons and be good.

I know I'm not the first person to think of doing this, but I like doing it. It makes me feel like I don't have to dress poorly due to the crappy weather.

Per Rueby's Request, there will be no more vlogs

Heres the photos of my stuff I got yesterday. I don't think I will be able to do daily posts if I don't do a video(but lets hope I can) With the moving and packing and finishing Beck's Birthday stuff and tryin go get KitschCake off the ground paired with school and getting ready for finals I don't have the time to do everything the way I like it.

BUT here are the things I scored on Monday. I don't have any pictures of things I bought today. I can try to shoot them tomorrow but I doubt I will have time. But I did start sewing one of the patterns I bought. I'm tres excited about that!

Can someone please buy me a pair of Freddies of Pinewood men's 40s jeans with the buckle back? Please? Cause really, I can sew you somthing or take in your clothes or paint a picture or sell you something in exchange. I can also do a three outfit shootin exchange! thats like 12 pictures. C'mon. I really need them. And Im getting shitty hours at work, need to pay for car insurance and my thrifting this week. Let's face it. I'm throughly disappointed in a whole lot of things right now.

TROPICAL TUESDAY!

Happy Tropical Tuesday everyone! What IS Tropical Tuesday you ask? Well It's a holiday I invented this morning so I could wear my new vintage Hawaiian Shirt! I will get better pictures of it soon!! But For now I have this one!

How does one celebrate Tropical Tuesday you say? Well don your pretties Hawaiian frock and sunglasses put on Annette Funicello's "Hawaiianette" and have a pineapple-y drink in a tiki mug! Break out your parasol and head outside if its warm and sunny!

This is my first outfit post by the way!

So I just recieved that shirt from Beck last night! It was in her closet waiting for the right guy(a.k.a me) to get in it and have it fit like a glove. It is great quality. I love the pockets they are all stain lined too!

Then Im just wearing some jeans from work

And some classic chucks.

Oh and my sunglasses are really bad quality rayband knock offs my Mom picked up for $2 for me!

Last night I decided I'M getting a pair of Freddie's. Now I just need to save up for them!

MAKE TODAY TROPICAL TUESDAY ON YOUR BLOG TOO! It will be a good time! And don't worry, every Tuesday can be Tropical Tuesday so if you missed it this time, do it next week! It's fun to have a holiday in the middle of the week!
