Although the weather outside here is already as hot as the desert and as humid as Hawaii, today involved a visit to an even sultrier place: "Tropical House." It's not very big, but it's actually a really lovely little oasis, with all sorts of exotic plants and flowers blooming, and a neat little grotto for the resident turtles, one of whom (Charlemagne) came out to pose for a picture. Anyway, it was fun little outing and the perfect setting in which to snap my latest vintage acquisition: an adorable 30s novelty print linen overall and bolero jacket set (the style of which is sort of similar to the 30s overall pattern I had previously posted)! Since the lighting wasn't always ideal in the greenhouse, I snapped one more outfit pic in my own backyard jungle....which I had better attempt to tame soon, before the wisteria takes over the house!

Charlemagne is just too darn cute! Looks like a lovely outing. I wonder if the original owner wore the overalls somewhere extremely exotic. Is the print "Arabian"?
You always look amazing!!! This outfit is really terrific... I'm wearing 40's-50's clothes everyday but 30's are so hard to find! Love your blog and all the "period perfect" vintage lovers!!!
Lord help me get through the day after seeing you in this outfit. The image of you in your heavenly suit is burned on my brain FOREVER! Perfection. The bag and bangles are so yum! xo
How cute! That print is just to die for!
Oh those overalls are soooooo fabulous! Looks like you had an awesome time, what a neat spot!
aww, thanks, all!!! I'm trying to figure out the actual theme of the print, as well...some sort of eastern flavour for sure. Lauren H., I have wondered whether an intrepid lady wore these to some warm exotic destination as well. V. cool thought to ponder!
I should add that I can't look at the print without singing or humming "Rockin' the Casbah" (maybe that's what it's portraying?)
Oh, maybe it was inspired by the 1938 movie, Algiers??
OH my gosh, I'm dying over your outfit over here!!!!
Looks like a fun day!
Oh wow. That's such an amazing outfit! Gosh.
