50s Dresses & Blouses

Vintage shopping over the past couple of weeks has turned up some real treasures. Unfortunately (for me) none of them are in my size so fortunately (for you) they'll all be going into the store in the next couple of weeks. I've sort of put a self-imposed ban on all things polyester in my closet and have been on the look out for great pieces in natural fibers. I finally ran across a stash of cotton day dresses and a pretty floral pin-tucked blouse in the softest of cottons but like I said, not my size.

I've also been on the hunt for the perfect sailor blouse. I'm not the biggest fan of sailor dresses (on me) because they just come off as too juvenile although I think they're adorable on other girls. So I figured a sailor blouse would be the perfect alternative since I could pair it with a more grown up skirt. Figures I would run across the perfect one this week (in a poly-blend but I think I could make an exception). Of course, it's not my size either.
