August Purchases

Hello everyone, I hope you all had a splendid August. Where I live, it's been hot and humid. I want to get out of the house, even just on the patio would be nice. However, I find myself outside for no more than 5 minutes and wanting to go back into the house with it's refrigerator-like air. And if it is nice enough to open windows, there always seems to be some prick farmer that is spreading crap on his field. The joys of living in the Midwest. Anyway, lets see the pretty things of August, shall we?

    Your polka dot blouse is lovely and the shoes are really useful cause they go with many vintage outfits. I own Oxfords too. I would like to know how this pretty Heliotrop powder smells. And these dresses in the last picture are just my cup of tea. Very very beautiful. So are you in the first picture - nice hairdo, pretty haircolour. Wish you the best and better weather to be able to go out for lovely walks.

      Thank you! The Heliotrope powder currently smells like baby powder.

    Great finds! Loving the patterns and your outfit-especially your blouse!
    I sympathize with you, our September so far is HOT with temps in the 90s-100s with some uncommon humidity levels :(
