Vintage Skirts and bloomers

When the cold winds blow...it can get chilly...down there...
Layer up with tights and long socks....under a cute skirt...and add warm boots...and from the waist down you know you'll stay warm and stylish....

Here's a few fun fall skirts from sellers on etsy.....

a Polka Dot beauty from Solanah





a Mexican Beauty from starletvintage




a 70s Plaid lovely...and long too! from DalenaVintage




another Mexican beauty from vintageapparel





A velvet and calico Gunne Sax skirt from fablehandmadegoods





an indigo satin and net vintage crinoline from collectedstories




and from tialeyvintage, a classic plaid full-length skirt




...And what to wear under these lovely skirts and a crinoline?
Why a pair of recycled cashmere sweater wool bloomers...of course!



Black Cashmere wool Bloomers....

mmm...cashmere....
Black Cashmere wool Bloomers........



Time to bundle up and stay cozy under a full skirt....

with the luxury of the softest wool bloomers ....
just fresh off the sewing machine ...
and ready to warm the lady parts....





I recycled a black cashmere sweater for a lovely pair of underwear....
bloomers, pettipants....knickers...
Whatever you like to call them, these are classically quirky...

Trimmed in ruffled white lace, and black fringe...so naughty Victoriana...
and then black and white striped ribbons that tie in a bow.
3 brass buttons march up the side seams....so steampunk!
Stretchy black lace at the waist for more prettiness...


I Voted. I'm Famous. Love This Blog, Decorno.



I voted this morning for Jim Merrittttt!! I really really like Marilyn Strickland. But, I want Tacoma ruled by a person of Merit....and I don't want Tacoma ruled by Strictness.
#2. I want Marilyn to stay on the council with Jake Fey!! Next year for Halloween ...instead of Jake dressing like the current Mayor, he can be, uh, a disgraced Judge. And Marilyn can dress up as Jim Merritt !

I was asked this morning if I am Tressie. Yes, I am. They probably wanted to serve me some legal papers. I deserve it I guess. My comments are very close to libel and slander, but not exactly, because I am a comedian. I was sent to the principal's office many many many times as a child. Thank God my mom was A Big Wheel in Yountville, or I'd a had to stay after school and bang erasers or something.

Please go make Decorno a favorite blog of yours. She's in Seattle. Don't be bitter. She writes the most clever and smart stuff about design and art, mostly really nice comfortable homes that aren't precious and unattainable, but rather homes that a person of ordinary $$$ could achieve, pretty much. Sometimes she goes off the deep end, design-wise, but then everyone has to ooooh and aaaah at the things Big Money can buy. (I don't mean the downfall of Judges, tho.)
And she has fun blog friends. And she gets the whole NW-thing. And she links to The Stranger too.

and thank you RR Anderson. The only nice Anderson in Tacoma. (hate mail!!)(I'll stop being mean to Julie...she is a Greener for crying out loud...Go Goeducks!!)

Cripes, the looks I'm gonna get...I should make 22cents with the increase in hits!!
I can't comment on the feedtacoma blog because Kevin hasn't given me a new password. Probably an oversight. So I get to say what I want. And I'll say things most people won't. That's my job. How many of you have been kicked off local Tacoma blogs? I have !!!
That and making very cool stuff...like cashmere underwear. You didn't think of that now did you?
