Darling Dame Vintage & Retro

Yesterday, I had the unfortunate experience of waking up to the second photo and am now waiting to see what happens.

I’ve had the same Facebook account since 2006 and now my business is attached to that account; saying there’s a lot at stake is an understatement.

Luckily, this week is a sale week as I take a break after graduation. In the event they can’t or won’t restore, I may need your help in rebuilding my following on Facebook.

The sale is still on, 22% off everything until Sunday.

These are just a few of my jewelry favorites still in the shop and ON SALE all this week!

Take advantage of the 22% off sale going on now until this Sunday!

For those who didn’t catch the news, I GRADUATED and now have a master’s degree! 👩🏻‍🎓🎓

The weekend was spent celebrating with family and spending time with a few of the moms in my life (including my mom).

In keeping the party going, the shop is 22% off all week on IG and Facebook. Etsy is 20% off, too. Next week, I’ll be back to regular programming. I hope y’all had a fantastic weekend!

Since I had so many pink bags in my personal collection, I figured I could share with everyone else. 🙈

Koret wire handbag in a beautiful and unique style. I haven’t seen a bag shaped like this, in pink at that!
There is minor wear throughout the metal but it takes a very close look to see the swirls. No Marjorie issues! The bag is 9 inches wide, 6 inches tall and deep. The inside has a plastic liner to prevent any losses through the wires. Asking $155 plus shipping, DM or comment to claim! 💕

RETRO patio swing dress best for a MEDIUM. The dress presents well; however, it does have a few issues. There is a slightly faded spot within the middle blue ruffle area (front) and there is very faint discoloration under the arms and at the neck. The dress measures 38 bust, 28-32 waist, 40 hip, and is 43 inches long. The skirt does have a lining and the material feels like cotton. Asking $27 plus shipping, DM or comment to claim!

I’m going to level with all of you and let you have a peek into my real, non-social media perfection, hot mess express of my life right now.

Here’s the deal:
I’m human. I’m stressed out. I, like many of you, have entirely too much on my plate.

I graduate Saturday, so:
I’m cleaning. I’m prepping to defend my graduate capstone. I’m job hunting. I’m completely revising my resume for the 20,000th time. I’m finishing assignments… oh, and my dishwasher broke.

Typically, I plan my posts out ahead and with everything, I fell behind this week. I didn’t feel super stoked about today’s brooch so it will be used as an inexpensive add-on later this week. Heck, I might just throw it in to the first purchase this week.

Everything will be fine but I just have to get past this week. The rest of the posts will be up on the usual days.

Thank you all for your continued support and understanding.

The best part of vintage and second hand? There’s always an opportunity to breathe new life into an outfit simply with a change of ownership.

This week, you can shop from my personal closet!

If there were ever a perfect rainbow outfit, this has to be it. 80-90s rainbow short and top set in a size 13. I feel that the sizing is accurate compared to today’s standards and is shown unpinned on the mannequin. Please note, this set is designed to fit loosely. The top measures 46 inches across the bust and is 29 inches long. The shorts measure 32 waist, open (52) at the hips, inseam 6 inches, and are 19 inches long. There are 3 small areas to note of imperfections. The right sleeve has 3-4 tiny holes, the back right of the top has one tiny hole, and the inside left hand sleeve has a small spot on the wrist area (has not been treated).
