February Purchases

Hello everyone, I hope you are all staying warm. I'm trying to! I'm looking forward to March, not only because of rising temps (if Mother Nature is on schedule) but also because it's my birthday month! The weather where I live has been very cold and doesn't seem to want to leave. We are way below our average high. Who wants to go outside and take pictures for outfit posts?! I love blogging, but I depend on good backgrounds, scenery and weather, but currently have neither. I hope you all understand. As for right now Pinterest, family and my cat are my companions. I'm having technical difficulties with blog pictures, so to see my purchases, go to my Evie's Tea Room board on my Pinterest.

OOTD: Happy Belated Valentine's Day

Hello readers, I hope you all are having a happy February and spent this Valentine's Day with the one you love! Today, I will be sharing the outfit I wore yesterday. I'm waiting for snow to melt and temperatures to climb so I can do more outfit-of-the-day posts. I have been lacking posts, and unfortunately, I blame winter. I want to go to flea markets and estate sales to show you all what I bought. I want to put great outfits together without a coat. I want to refurbish, but I can't because my spray paint will freeze. Do you find this season absolutely awful when it comes to blogging? I know spring and summer will come again, and I just need to be patient. I just miss the smell of fresh grass and wet mud. The birds singing and picking lavender.

 Blouse: Forever21

Skirt: Forever21

Stockings: Target

Lipstick: Sephora Rouge No. 18/Oh Oh!

Stay warm and be patient!

New Hats

Hello! I went to some sales today and got two vintage hats. They both look to be about 40's - 50's.

One of them is baby pink with a large bow, which was made of wide ribbon. Which I decided to take off -- the bow was too large for the hat, not the same shade of pink and quite messily put together. Thank goodness the bow wasn't hard to detach or caused damage to the hat. I'm probably gonna save the bow for a sewing project. The hat looks like it is handmade! I may make a new, smaller bow for it or something. I will look at some old photos and see what would suit it best.

The color is so great. I think the hat was 50 cents!

And with the bow off...

I think it looks much better, especially when the hat is on, it's definitely less bulky and easier to match with outfits. Now I have a blank canvas :)

 The other hat is light brown and made of felt, with small bows on either side, that are perfectly wonderful! I believe this one is older, because of the pointed top, usually seen in the 1940's. I love the color of this one, because it's wonderful for Fall. And oh yeah, only $2!

Super cute, right?!

Oooh, New York :)

I can't wait to wear these! I'm really glad I found them. I have a another piece of headwear that I'll post, I think from the 1940's, it's ivory and has a nice velour/velvet texture. Plus, it's in a neat lattice shape! It's really unique, you wear it more towards the back of your head than the top. I saw Rachel McAdams wear one similar in The Notebook!

Until then,

Happy Junk Huntin',
