Debutante Clothing :: A vintage clothing and fashion blog for unconventional style where vintage and runway meet.

It was 106*F today in my city. I really wish I could go out in a bra and panties, or at least a bathing suit. My favorite vintage piece for summer is the playsuit. Granted, I have to make sure I have lost the winter weight to pull it off.

The poll of the day at Catwalk Queen is Yay or Nay on the playsuit. The Nays have it. Now the playsuit in question isn't my favorite, but maybe vintage lovers can convince the cat walkers that vintage is where it's at. I think new designers should've gone further back in time, past the 80's, and into an era where the female body was celebrated.

Both of these are Yays in my book.

When I told people I was planning my wedding, many asked if I would be wearing a vintage dress. Originally, I thought I would. I've always thought of vintage as not just a fabulous article of clothing. Garments are very personal, even that $12.99 top from Forever 21. You create memories wearing those articles. I remeber everything I was wearing on the most important days of my life. I even rmember random moments in grade school when I thought I was the cutest dressed six grader at Levi H. Dicky elementary school.

It just didn't seem right to wear someone else's most important outfit on my most important, memorable day. Instead, I opted for vintage pearl drop earrings and a vintage champagne beaded bag. Just a little glitz that served as my something old, and something borrowed. And to whomever owned the beautiful pieces before me, thanks for sharing in one of the best memories I will ever have.
