'THEY' say... that when you are well prepared or well-stocked, you are least likely to need something,
Well, That is the message I am hoping 'The Universe' was trying to relay to me, and with that we should be in for a Nice lonnggggg, melllowww Autumnnnn, after all of the PRECAUTIONARY INSURANCE I picked up this past week ;-) !!!
I think I must have stopped to the same Estate Sale as Barbara (only AFTER her!!) on Saturday! I ventured to the attic, and found this FUN box with assorted remnants of Halloween costumes/dress-up clothes/ vintage... Later I learned at the checkout (where I got the ENTIRE box for an absurdly cheap price!!) that all of the shirts were vintage from Guatemala!

 |
| (with this detailing on the back - kinda fun!!) |
 |
(almost an instant Halloween costume - just add sombrero and a bottle of tequila!) |
 |
(How Retro are these Ponchos?!
and the 'mini' one has these
little tiny deer on it...)

The "Crowning Glory" of my insurance though, is this little baby!! A DEAR friend who is cleaning out, bestowed this to me, after she found out I adored orange... I tried it on, and it fits like it was made for me! She had bought it in the early 60's when she worked and lived in NYC from Macy's - can you say
RETRO ORANGE VELVET SWING COAT!!!
GOOD BYE SUMMER!
BRING IT ON FALL
Give me your best shot,
I got you covered!!

You did quite well and that orange coat is so very early 60's vintage. A Pan Am stewardess would have worn that on her days off! (Rob)
Love that coat! It's you! I have a small blue poncho like the one you showed - my Great Grandmother bought it for me when I was three when she went to Mexico. I have the matching skirt too. Ole!
Fall - BRING IT ON!
I would be rocking that orange coat too. Love the orange!
All of them are nice but the orange coat - to die for!
OMG! Love the coat, what a beaut - and what a friend! And the Guatemalan pieces are great. I am so grooving on ethnic stuff like that these days. Xo
OMG. That orange coat. I'm speechless! Gorgeous!
