1940's Green Floral Jacket with a Thrifted Sage Green Dress

When I first saw this 1940’s floral jacket I didn’t buy it since it was in need of some rather serious repairs. I left the shop and thought about it for a few weeks though. When I came back in later it was still there and I decided to give it the TLC it deserved and to enjoy it. I like that it is colorful and lively with all its flowers. Plus I figured it’d go nicely with this sage green dress I thrifted last summer from St. Luke’s Thrift Shop in the West Village. It is a Three Dots dress and they usually go for about $90. I paid a fraction of that and to top it off got it when the thrift shop had a sale.

The bracelet I have on is a vintage bracelet I found at a garage sale years ago. I bought some new shoes recently, Born oxfords, and they go well with this outfit. They are super comfortable!

I am slowly working on opening an Etsy shop. I hope to have it ready to open in the next couple of weeks. It is quite an undertaking but having a blog has been good training for starting an Etsy shop. Plus I hope to open another one with my costume jewelry designs as well. Eventually I will add some other crafts.

I haven’t had time to finish my Dottie Angel dress but I will get to work on it before too long. I am eager to wear it this summer and spring! My daughter gave me some lovely fabric for Christmas that I am using for part of the dress.

Gardening season is upon us and I am juggling multiple things. I do hope to get into the garden soon and do some planting. Seeing the spring flowers as I am out walking is a beautiful sight.

Well I hope you are enjoying the coming of spring. I will keep you posted on new developments as they happen with my Etsy adventure!
