With all this talk on my blog about the full skirt (here and guest blog for Chitown Fashionista here), it was about time I proved myself with a full skirt of my own. Oh, and I decided to try my hand at a video blog (vlog). I’m obviously super nervous and I sound like a man (I lost my voice last week). I hope you’ll understand!
It’s not very often that you stumble across the same vintage skirt more than once. I found this 1970ish era skirt at one of my favorite consignment stores. It was $18 and I just knew that if I didn’t plunk down the cash right then and there I’d never find the skirt again. Imagine my surprise when I was searching for vintage skirts and dresses in San Francisco and stumbled across the SAME skirt and its sister (a dress) in a thrift store in the Mission. Fast forward a few months later and I saw the exact same skirt at a Salvation Army about six miles always from the first location where I purchased the skirt. STRANGE.
Fashion know it alls proclaim that if you want to own the vintage full skirt look, then heels should be paired with the full skirt. I love vintage and decided to take this advice and wear my skirt with my stiletto peep toe purple Gucci heels.
I accomplished my goal of wearing a full skirt for spring 2011. Next goal? Adding some color to my pasty, pale legs!
You did great! I’m terrified of doing vlogs, so good 4 u that u went thru with it.
You’re my hero ;0) love it!!
Valencia, I’ve been wanting to post a vlog for awhile, but right when I was about to click “publish” I’d go back and delete the video. I just decided to give it a go today. Thanks for your kind words.
BRENDA, I love you. :O)

Yay Chandra. I love it! Trust me, the more you get in front of the camera, the more comfortable you’ll be. Just let you great personality shine through and you’ll be a vlogging pro before you know
You look fabulous! And yes, the vintage gods are funny that way sometimes. I actually have been meaning to blog about not one, but two, pieces I found that are EXACTLY the same! Odd. Love the Vlog. You’re a natural.
I stumbled on your blog and have really enjoyed reading. I look beautiful in this outfit and that is truly amazing that you saw the same skirt in two thrift stores, un heard of!
Love this post! Looking forward to more of your vintage find videos
Congrats on your 1st vlog! Keep ‘em coming
Wow, that is one pretty outfit, I love all the bright colors, everything is perfect and the skirt has just the right amount of fullness so that it doesn’t look overwhelming. One great outfit and I don’t think your voice sounds like a man at all. I enjoyed the video. =D
Yay, for your first vlog! It was great. You look absolutely stunning. I love the skirt. It’s so colorful. More vlogs please. =)
