Hardly seemed worth going for a couple pounds of apples at most.<br /><br />@Thrifty Parka<br />The shoes are remarkably stable for such a high heel. There's a bit of platform under the toes, which helps.<br /><br />@Curtise<br />Mwwwwah. It is so good to hear from you.<br /><br />@Vix<br />I know you would do an incredible makeover on the dress. My sewing skills are very rudimentary. <br /><br />@Ann<br /> I wear my hair in a very simple style that is difficult (but not impossible) to ruin. If I needed layers or anything precise, I wouldn't be able to manage it. <br /><br />@Mim<br />I ended up buying so much stuff because the prices were so good. I expected the earrings to have loose clips, etc. but was stunned to find everything in good condition. I suspect the "Gossipy Old Ladies" don't really know the value of vintage costume jewelry. <br /><br />@Veronica<br />No avocados for me-I have an allergy to latex, and they're in the same family (along with mangoes, bananas, and most melons). I do like the sound of Bibi's Snap-E-Tom "Bloody Maria's" though. <br /><br />@Beth<br />Sadly, no pirate feather hats...but I have a budgie that can sit on my shoulder. Aye, Matey!<br /><br />Avocado pears sounds *almost * familiar, like calling pomegranates, "Chinese Apples." <br />Goodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383404429461423998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-77164969539056598882016-09-23T05:20:07.743-07:002016-09-23T05:20:07.743-07:00My vote is to spare the teal dress: no such thing ...My vote is to spare the teal dress: no such thing as too much teal! Inspired by those patent-leather heels -- absolutely nothing bathroby there! -- perhaps a simple black patent-leather belt would work? But have you got a black hat with feathers that curl down over one shoulder? Now that's a pirate look for you!<br /><br />The avocado ad is a hoot, yet I do remember seeing them for the first time in a tiny small town grocery labelled "avocado pears."

It's a shame about the brushed nylon though; it's not a very nice fabric close to your skin and it bobbles as well. I do think the wrap style suits you and that belt is absolutely amazing.<br /><br />The red, black and white ensemble is gorgeous and get you in those killer heels!<br /><br />The garage sale sounds like heaven.<br /><br />Have a great week and be doing anything weird to avocados, please.<br /><br />Veronica<br />vronni60s.blogspot.comVronni's Style Meanderingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17122302881528071270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-82175914960615943052016-09-21T07:13:01.601-07:002016-09-21T07:13:01.601-07:00Can't wait to see what your jewellery bargains...Can't wait to see what your jewellery bargains are like - they'll last longer than apples, that's for sure.<br /><br />How sad that the costume shop closed down. It's so gutting when nice shops go. I can see why the belt might need a sword.

I love how you accessorized it with the stack of red bangles and the killer heels! I'd never attempt to cut my own hair. I did try once when I was about 18 and it ended in disaster. You are very brave! xxxPolyester Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05602613792584925087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-69744833124092701312016-09-20T08:16:32.280-07:002016-09-20T08:16:32.280-07:00You totally rock teal, you look wonderful.

I agree with you, I'm happy to dismiss a bit of naffness if I like the colour although your plan to remake that dress sounds like a plan.<br />The other dress is a beauty. Respect for wearing those killer heels, I'd be in accident and emergency with a broken hip if I attempted them! xxxVixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05263970600699632661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-46315841578828924062016-09-20T08:09:57.788-07:002016-09-20T08:09:57.788-07:00Fabulous frocks, as always.

Hilary Clinton used to wear a lot of teal, now she's gone all frumpy chic with her pantsuits.<br /><br />Those are some sizzlin' HAWT black patent leather peeptoe shoes there for an 'old' lady! ZOWIE!<br /><br />We used to drink Snap-E-Tom all the time in California. It's probably too hot & spicy for you MidWestern types though.<br />Lotsa jalapenos in it! Bloody Marys made with it were called "Bloody Marias." (Har de har har, isn't that cute?) <br /><br />I'm ready to pixie my hair in this heat, if husband wouldn't have a fit I'd do it. Not sure what his problem is - when he met me my hair was bleached & shaved into some Billy Idol looking 'do.<br />Bibi Maizoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07383381158640915162noreply@blogger.com
