This weekend, I modeled in my first boudoir shoot for a photographer friend. I can't wait to see the pictures, although I probably won't be sharing them here, unless they are relatively tame. :) Later that night, we celebrated my husband's birthday by throwing a huge 40s themed cocktail party. We had 26 people show up, which made for a fabulous night. I'll share some of the pictures later this week. I wanted to share one of my favorite sweaters, which my M-I-L knitted me from a 1945 pattern. We snapped some shots in front of the State Mental Hospital's nurses' quarters, which were built in the 40s and abandoned in the 1990s. They are supposedly VERY HAUNTED.
Outfit details: Scalloped sweater, knitted from original 1945 pattern

Those stockings are fabulous and the party was super fun! Thanks for hosting! :)
ReplyDeleteSuper cute sweater! I don't think I'd be brave enough to tackle something as complex as that one yet... Colorwork is on my "want to try" list, but I'm not there yet! ❤
