Vintage Here, Vintage There: Borrowed!

This week our feature includes SNOW! Well, really Rubyellen and I are just sharing what we got to pick out to wear from Adelaide Homesewn's Etsy shop and it just so happens that I got to wear this fun coat on two chilly occasions recently. The first was on a date night to Thai Peppers, Barnes & Noble, and a local cupcakery that was open late! The second was today in the snow!

It started snowing last night and kept on all day long. The kind of snow that falls lightly and settles gently on your eyelashes and hair. Brett took the kids out for awhile this afternoon and then Ruby and I got back out in it while S was napping to take some fun photos. Ruby seems to appreciate how pretty snow is to look at but doesn't like her little fingers getting cold.

This lovely vintage number that I picked out from Adelaide Homesewn is a beautiful green boucle coat from the 60's with a unique collar that folds up to keep your ears warm! I'd never seen one like this before so I wasn't sure if I was doing it right but there is a fancy button under there that keeps it up around your ears. It really was warm!

I loved giving this longer coat a try as I've had my waist length pea coat in the same color for about three years now and couldn't believe how nice it was not having to feel the chill on my lower half. I'm going to be on the lookout for something similar now.

I bought this hat for Ruby as soon as it turned cold in November and realized today that her head has grown enough that it no longer covers everything. Ha! Also, she has quite a lot of shoes but nothing fit for snow so we may have to go find some for the next time.

Don't worry, Mom, I cleaned those pretty little Mary Jane's off as soon as we got inside! ;) True Story. I bought a worn out looking baby-sized doll from the 50's just so I could use the vintage dress and shoes that came with her!

She was one of those dolls that has hair that grows when you pull it out of the top of her head. I checked it to make sure it wasn't a doll dress and it said 18 months on the back. So, then I figured the yellow Mary Jane's were real, too, and they were! Ruby loved her but when we moved I put her back in the donate pile without her clothes. Ha!

Here are some fun vintage snow day pieces from various Etsy shops to keep you warm! I'd love to see what kind of vintage outfits you all are pulling out if you're experiencing frigid temps, too. I'm having to get more and more creative with Ruby's vintage outfits to keep her warm enough but come Spring, we're set!
