Going Green, Racy Lacies, Part Two

Working my way through my mending piles, I unearthed this 1930s two piece knit set. It was originally destined for my shop after repair work to an underarm and the skirt waist elastic. Hehe, it may still get there (I'm not sure the skirt is a perfect fit & length and still deciding whether this shade of green suits). However, as we all know, 30s knits & crochetwear are my weakness (I'm sure I'm not alone on that front), so forgive me for hoarding it for a time.  Be forewarned I am possibly taking the 30s tapestry knitting bag that sorta matches it out of my shop, too.  Fair is fair, though. I've got a couple of other items from my closet going into the shop shortly, so it should all balance out!

    OMG That knitted top is absolutely the cutest. What an adorable outfit. I also grapple with the "In the closet, or in the shop?" issue, so I'm constantly pulling things out and putting others back in. It's like my own personal mini store. Love all the things in your shop!!

    thank you!!!! I know Ms. Dita Von Teese is a fan of this colour of green, so thought I'd give it a whirl!! Definitely have to swap some things from closet to shop, now, if I'm hoarding it! xoxo

    The green definitely suits you and the silhouette looks great too. I'm always so envious of your '30s outfits, it's hard for me to find anything older than the 1950s here.

    This green is a winner on you, and I can feel the Dita VT vibe. I love the knit top - sexy and refined at the same time. Keep It!

    thanks again! Looks like it's a keeper!?!

    Desiree: You've read my mind. I'm saving for some awesome yellow shoes.

    Lauren: mm...yellow knit set!!! swoon!

    iz bakinog ormara: I'm still trying to work on my photography skills so I can do a few more interesting shots. stay tuned?! Don't be too envious. I'm a monomaniac--I search for vintage and wear vintage all day long. Really, you should pity me in my obsessiveness :) Besides, as I noted above, for every lovely going into my closet there will be another equally lovely item going into the shop for others to buy :)
