Vintage Thurs: Black & Carpet Bags

1. 50's Black Dress $40.00; 2. Needlepoint Locket $38.00; 3. Black Leather Mary Janes size 10 $17.00!

I saw this black dress and loved the look of it along with the hair and makeup of the model - plus the cool old car in the background! An awesome photo that captures the retro/vintage era. Pair it with black mary jane heels. These ones are size 10 for us big footers! :P

Then one thing led to another and I ended up looking at tapestry/carpet bags and thought of Mary Poppins. And doesn't the above girl in the black dress look like a more edgy version of Mary Poppins? So I put the needlepoint/tapestry looking locket in the outfit above to kind of start the theme! Mary Poppins was one of my favorite movies as a kid, and I still love that movie. I loved when she took out a lamp and other big things from her carpet bag. I wanted it to be real, I wanted a real bag like that! I found some bags that hint to that idea.
