Are we related?

Oh, the joy of being a Vintage Clothing lover!  I wandered out the other day to do a wee bit of shopping, as my daughter is sick and we  have been cooped up for far too long for this suburban socialite. . .

At the very last moment I decided to make a quick stop at one of my favorite "haunts" ( you know. those "High Security" zones that no one else knows about. . .should you disclose location you will be eliminated. . .) and I ran across this Vintage Beauty:

 

An Oleg Cassini Vintage 1960's Brocaded Chenille Coat. . .

My heart skipped a beat

Well, maybe 25 beats, once I realized I didn't have enough cash

and my credit card was useless

at this establishment. . .

What's a girl to do?

I did the dance,

you know,

"I already have enough inventory to fill a floor on Macys"

and

"This is a bit on the wild side. . .other's may not see the vintage glam of it. . ."

and I

left

without the coat. . .

 

 

But I went back today

and guess what?

IT WAS STILL THERE!

SO NOW, IT IS HERE, AT THE RED VELVET SHOE

and I am left wondering:

Are we cousins?

My sister gave me this gorgeous Vintage Bag years ago

and I love it for the simple fact

that the strap is long enough to wear over the shoulder.

(A rare "wonderful" with vintage purses)

When I found this gorgeous coat,

I was obsessed with the thought:

"Is my Vintage Brocade Purse a Match?"

ARE WE RELATED?

 

Hmmm,

similar features,

but alas,

I do not think so. . .

Hope you have enjoyed this research into

my Vintage Family Tree. . .

Hmm, maybe I should model this beauty, you know I don't want to sell it! Well, check back; maybe I'll update the photos, especially since I have a "New Do" a~la 1930's . . .
