Monthly Theme: Vintage

I found this vintage silk blouse in an antique shop last fall... I wore it several times over the winter, but never put any photos of it my blog- so April's Monthly Theme is perfect!
I found it half-hidden, hung in the back of a little cubbyhole. What first attracted me was the sleeves; dramatic, draped affairs that moved like wings when I walked and immediately reminded me of bats. The high neckline has a wide embroidered insert over sheer fabric, and the blouse buttons to the left side, with an additional zipper up the back.
The tag on the inside had been almost completely removed, but due to the embroidery style for the size (6) and shoulder pads, I believe it's from the 80's.
Needless to say I think it's just fabulous, and it was only $20!

Stye: Little Red Riding Hood

I didn't realize until I arrived home that tying my cardigan over my shoulders made me look like I was wearing a capelet- and much like that storybook character. All I'm missing now is a wolf as my Pet!

Talbot's cardigan and skirt, Target camisole, Merona shoes, self-made necklaces.

Style: Black, Grey, White

Hilariously, half my coworkers and managers have been wearing black and white, and 1940s styles this week. Could I be subconsciously influencing them?

Target camisole, sweater, and necklace (long), thrifted belt and skirt, Talbots tights, Merona shoes. Claire's studded cuffs, vintage key on a chain.

Style: Hide-and-Seek

Took me an hour on each hand! But well, well worth it.

Please Excuse The Mess

I'm trying to change the blog format, and though I've cleared all my customizations, backgrounds, etc., the blog appears the same to me as always. I don't know if that's true for the rest of you. If it isn't, Style And Graphite must have some strange colors going on; I'm trying to figure it out and fix it as quickly as possible. Please bear with me! :)
