Put a bird on it! (outfit #35)

This is a lovely 1950s, velvet and taffeta dress with a built in crinoline and a scattering of rhinestones.   I think it's the perfect frock for a holiday party, and has the right amount of sparkle for ringing in the New Year.   I purchased this dress on Etsy for a mere $18!  My hat, was a Christmas present from my mother from a local antique store.  I spotted it over the summer and couldn't get it out of my head, so she was kind enough to go and pick it up for me.  I believe it's from the 1940s, and it has the most adorable little black (raven?) perched on the brim.

  3. Oh, Hannah, I just adore this endlessly elegant outfit! A bird adorned hat is high up on my vintage wish list, too, and I hope that I can acquire one some day and follow your glamorously stylish lead here.

    Wishing you an incredible, endlessly happy New Year, dear gal!
