They say every picture tells a story, and I like to think that every garment does too. That's why, with every piece you buy, I will include a delightful "story" of the life that your garment once led.

Addie's Cross-over Jumper

Addie was a medium who helped dead people cross over to the other side. In 1982 she helped a suffering family send their grandmother to the light. That day she wore this great navy suiting striped jumper. So cute to dress up or dress down. You may not be a medium or a psychic but helping people is contagious. Come feel some of that spirit in this dress.

Margaret's 60's Floral Dress

Margaret attended her last cotillion in 1968 wearing this dress. Margarets mother had made her attend these balls since for years and she was tired of it, so she spiked the punch with rum. The head mistress did not agree with Margarets doings and she was swiftly kicked out. Evoke the bad girl spirit of Margaret and maybe you'll have the nerve to do something you've wanted to do for a long time. Made of super soft velvet-like material. The top is black with buttons and the bottom is floral printed. 

Vanity Fair polyester dress $52. Fits size Small or 2-4

Pamela's Pretty Paisley Skirt

It's been a long time, I shouldn't have left you, left you, without a dope sheath to dress you, dress you, dress you. RIP Aaliyah. Ok, so I was in Mexico for a week and it was bomb. But now I'm ready to show you some lovely things. Starting with... Pamela loved the outdoors. She particularly like bicycle riding. I wouldn't recommend bicycling in a skirt but for cutes sake the model is attempting to ride. Pamela also loved wearing color and pattern so this skirt had it all for her. Although she didn't ride in this skirt she did spend lots of time picnicking and walking in the park in it. Brighten up your day, and go outside in this pretty paisley skirt.
Paisley Skirt $22. Fits size 0-2
