Vintage Look- 50's look blue sweater and Lucite Earrings

This outfit is so comfortable, toasty, and it give me the blues...in a good way! The skirt and sweater are both from Goodwill. The skirt is vintage 70's, and the sweater is modern, but it is made exactly like a true vintage 50's sweater that I have put back to sell. The cute, yarn, color, everything is the same. I was just astounded at my good fortune in finding this. Especially since I was selling the vintage one because the wool irritated my sensitive skin.

I wasn't sure of the shoes to pair with this. I could have worn my pale blue heels, but I was wanting more of a 50's winter look that would have been paired with fur trimmed snowboots, or tights with leather brogue loafers. But I have these heeled oxford style Jambu shoes I got to work at the restaurant, and I decided that would have to do until I could think of something better.

I also got to pair it with some earrings that have been in a box forever. I literally have had them so long that I'm not sure where they came from. Perhaps some of my Great Aunt Jessie's stuff that I just tucked away. I had never really cared for them. Isn't it funny how tastes change? I always thought they were clunky and garish, until I started looking at 50's Lucite and seeing how fun it was. That's when I dug these out. They have the greatest foil-looking confetti suspended inside.

And as long as I was going full-on 50's I figured it couldn't hurt to throw in the Scottie dog pin I found at Junk Ranch for $1. I think it is so cute, and when I wore it to the restaurant last, multiple people called me Peggy. Even some who know me- ha!

So this the skirt and sweater cost me $4 each, the earrings were free, and the pin was a buck. Nothing like having a fun outfit for under $10! And it is comfy enough to wear all day long (shoes included). What do you think? A year ago I would have gagged slightly and put the earrings back in the box. And wearing someone else's name on your chest is kind of odd. Would you wear either one, or are you going to leave all the weird attire up to me? ;)
