I was going to.. but since I live in a rental, I figured I would let them pool on the floor until I get a look at any future windows. It's growing on me.
Lovely photo, gorgeous sweater! Weird question: Do you find that your vintage "style" is marred at all by your very short hair? I cut my hair very short (pixie cut) and it is also dyed golden blond - It's a strange choice for me, as I love the vintage looks of the 1930's, '40's and '50's, rather than the waif/pixie look of the 60's and '70's - I was just wondering how you fit your hairstyle into your vintage style?
I used to have longer hair, but I keep my hair pixie short for convenience, so I've got to make it work for whatever decade I feel like wearing. There were some great short hair styles in the 20s, so I think it's easy enough to incorporate into 30s looks. For the 40s and 50s sometimes just adding a bit of makeup helps make the hair "fit" with the clothing of those decades. I think 50s dresses look particularly nice with a comb over.
Gorgeous photo and I love your sweater.

Lovely. Are you going to shorten the drapes?
