Road Trip and Vintage Fatshion

So, I’m heading on a road trip to NH today with my best friend and my older brother. A couple of these things that make this hilarious.

The Sarahs

Huff and I are really girly, really air-headed, and love the same type of indy/emo/singer

-songwriter type of music. It’s awesome

for us because we share music constantly because we have the EXACT same taste. We switch between my iPhone and her iPod Touch and scream at her car because it has voice activated sync and never understands us. Get the gist?

My brother, is 9 years older than us, likes rap and hard rock, is much more level headed and practical than us. And he is also 6’4″. And we’re making him ride in the backseat. This trip is going to be AMAZING. When I told Carl about it, he first said, “He’s not going to ride in the backseat.” Oh, but he is!

Full dress...it doesn't hang like that on me!

In other news, I’ve been back on the vintage clothes route lately, delving into my closet filled with 1950s-1970s dresses and found my favorite wiggle suit and wore it today. It’s very Mad Men -esque. If I had a full digital camera I’d take a pic of it on, but alas, mine broke over the summer and I have yet to replacement. My iPhone is my only little camera. But here are some pics from Etsy – I bought it in November. I adore this dress – and I got it for around $24!

Dress w/ Jacket

Fatshionistas, if you don’t shop Etsy or eBay you are crazy. You can get

wardrobe staples and outrageous things very cheap if you just keep checking. I check eBay nearly everyday – even when I am low on cash – because you never know what you’ll find! Yesterday, I bought a navy blue vintage silk suit, much the style of this one, for $21. I’ve never felt like I couldn’t have nice clothes or wear what other people wear because of my size for two reasons:

1. It’s just not true!

2. I don’t WANT to wear what everyone else wears!

I love the feeling of putting on a vintage dress that fits to perfection, because that means someone 50+ years ago was the exact same size as me and wore this beautiful dress. It’s like wearing a piece of history. I’ll admit I go with some current trends that I enjoy, but I always come back to eBay, Etsy, and of course my BEST FRIEND, The Goodwill!
