Dress/Belt: Decades Vintage (In SLC)

Tights: Victoria's Secret

Shoes-Thrifted

If I could only wear vintage clothing for the rest of my life. Oh boy. I would smell like a Grandmother's attic.  I definitely might have yesterday at church... But in my defense, I was not only wearing a vintage dress, but a vintage corset also. Yes. I wore a corset. I found it at the same store where I chanced upon this perfect dress. It wasn't uncomfortably tight--in fact, in the words of my new friend Katia "It just feels like a tight hug". And it did! I mean sitting down felt kind of weird at times, but it was still nice because it kept me all smoothed out under this dress. 

Interesting story about the corset actually; I picked up the only one that I thought was cute, and I tried it on. To my excitement, it fit perfectly! What a great chance! And then after buying it, I happened to glance down at the size. Which was actually my exact bra size. Well now, that is pretty miraculous. I am in love with it!

Nancy and I have actually made a decision to start collecting more vintage clothing and accessories. We are huge fans of beautiful clothing, and we want more of it! It's too bad we have almost no money...

So that's that. We've decided that we are officially vintage ladies. We need to go find ourselves some shops a bit closer than Decades... SLC is a bit of a commute.

Love, Sarai

PS: this song kind of makes me teary-eyed

Nancy posted the lovely Ruche lookbook not too long ago, and can I just say I'm obsessed? I love the romantic and vintage atmostphere, but I also love that it's not so old-fashioned that it's dated. It's all about updated romanticism. I can't handle how perfect every article of clothing that they create is. I'm in love, it's a fact. So in that vein, I watched the video numerous times, and then copied the hair that was in it :) I LOVE the way it turned out, so chances are this'll be a recurring thing in my life. And in yours my lovely readers.

So now go watch the lookbook, so you can be inspired too <3

So anyway, I'm way jealous that lil Nancy gets to be a maid of honor pretty soon. That's my dream! Well besides being an actual bride... but I'm just sayin, I'm jealous. I want someone who hangs out with my all the time to get married! Dang it. Why is no one getting married? :(

Off to take a shower, take pictures (not simultaneously), and attempt to create loveliness,

That thing that looks suspiciously like a flower made out of hair? Yes, that is just my hair rolled into a little fluffy thing...

This week has been insane! My computer crashed due to nasty viruses, I wore those crazy ridiculous lovely shoes to SCHOOL, the school play ended (cue sniffles and tissues), I grabbed that perfect hat out of the costume room because I love it, and I earned my medallion!

So I kinda forgot how to do my hair like I did it in the first pictures...that was for church today, and for some reason, it just happened and I didn't pay attention to how I did it because I wasn't going to keep it that way! I curl my hair in sections sometimes, and when I pinned this section up haphazardly, I decided it looked cool in a vintagey way :)

And that lovely gold medallion? I earned it a while ago, but I just got it today at church :) I'm mighty happy!

I wore the shoes to school...surprisingly not painful :) And this is the hilarious conversation I overheard as I was walking to third period:

Girl 1: Wow, she's brave for wearing THOSE shoes

Girl 2: Just let her wear what she waaants GUURL!

Girl 1: I like her shoes! I'm just saying she's brave!

So awesome.

And the name of this post has to do with this song:

It's so beautiful, and whenever I hear it, I think of a certain person, and it gets me all nostalgic like! But that's okay :) What is romance for if not to teach us how to be happy?

Love, Sarai
