I have been on a major vintage-scoring roll lately. Here are my absolute favorite things in my closet to sport this week.
High-waisted leather pin-up shorts (Thunderhorse Vintage, $22) – For SERIOUS. These made of the most soft, thin, buttery leathah ever. I cannot believe my luck. The shape is EXACTLY what I’ve been craving- with the slight flair at the bottom, they breathe well enough that I just might be able to wear them into the depths of summer, and believe me, I will be wearing them every chance I get.
Oversize fish necklace (Thunderhorse Vintage)- I always feel like I’m wearing some kinda whimsical breastplate when I’m wearing this. Makes me think it could stop bullets.
Filigree bird earrings – I just have a filigree fetish. I’ve had the black ones for a while and are consistently my favorite pair, so when I saw these colorful rooster ones for $5.99 on eBay, I just had to own them too (BTW, if you like vintage bird earrings, Penelopepups Vintage has an AWESOME pair here.
Native American necklace – I scored this at a flea market for $10, the dood said he made it with his own two hands. So I guess this doesn’t qualify as vintage, but… SCORE.
Buckle boots – $8 at the flea market. By far the most comfortable and versatile boots I own.
70s deadstock terrycloth dress (Thunderhorse Vintage) – Eek! Sherbet-colored chevron stripes?? Sign me up! This still has tags on it from the 70s, but it just felt wrong to remove them when they’ve been on this long – call me crazy, but I just tuck them in and wear it anyway.
Orange woven wedges (Atelier, $1) – Comfy cozy and sexy as hell.
Of course, this is just the tip of the ‘berg. I have some amazing things in great condition that weren’t my size that I just couldn’t abandon to the unnamed masses. They’ll be up in the Etsy store later this week!
Also, welcome Chicagoans! I was featured on the front page of ChicagoTribune.com via Being Totally Sweet in Chicago today! Thanks, Ira, and CONGRATS!
Okay. That’s it. The weather is warming up and we must go out dancing again. I love seeing your outfits in action. And I always try to copy your dance moves…to no avail.
Fish necklace FTW!
Those boots! Score.

Great finds!
Those shoes were a dollar? DAYUMMMM!
THOSE. SHORTS. !!! They are every bit as amazing as you made them sound on my blog, you are one lucky girl. And I do the same thing with tags on vintage items!! I even love the tags, somehow they make me feel even more connected to the time and place my garment came from. Yours apparently came from candy land and I want to eat it up in its cuteness :~)
I’ve been obsessing over the perfect leather shorts for a while now.
I’m soooo envious right now.
um those shorts and those boots are the best thing ever! I love when I find amazing things thrifting, it’s such a high (which is kinda pathetic but whatever, better and cheaper than heroin!)
Fantastic finds, especially that terry dress!

I love the boots, the shorts and the dress. The boots are SO amazing, vintage boots rock my world.
Hi! I happen to have seen the fish necklace in gold at Jane Aldridge’s *sea of shoes* mom’s blog *atlantis home*… I think she eventually sold it in her online vintage store. Great find.
Le short en cuir est top.
