My new vintage!

I love buying vintage...Although there's always the unknown element of fit, condition etc....receiving that package is almost like receiving a gift (even if you paid for it).
My favorite kind is buying vintage, just because it's cheap!
Yesterday I was on a hunt for a real vintage dress from the 50's, and I found some spectacular dresses, that unfortunately wouldn't have place in my life here or in Milan (too much volume and generally too much for me). I still watch some of them on Ebay but I think I will give in to buyers that will actually wear it.
My choice was much simpler: a floral light cotton 50's dress I won for 15$ (+12$ for shipping) ! It has a nice fuchsia belt and I hope it will have a nice fit...

Should I?

Well it seems like just when I wrote that posting is not so easy right now, I suddenly got the means and the time to post...at least for now, and I'm going to use it properly.

The theme of this post is going to be capes...It all begun when I saw this wonderful cape on Germaine...it was from Paul and Joe. The cut and the color of this cape are exquisite and it creates really noble but "I'm not trying to hard" look...I was really fascinated with the idea of the cape but then slowly forgot about it while reminding myself that even if I love it, it doesn't mean I would neseccerily wear it...
Yesterday, while browsing around Ebay I stumbled uppon the exact same cape, only in gray. It is really wonderful and the color is even better for me since I tend to shy away from red...It costs around 300$ BUT it is Paul and Joe, and it's a very versatile piece of clothing that I'll keep for ages...and it's Sooooo chic...The downside is that I'm not really sure that I should spend this kind of money while being between jobs:)
