A Fall Feeling.

In Charleston, the weather has been dropping from highs in the 90s to the 80s, with late evenings and early mornings even toying with temperatures below 70! While this may seem to be an imperceptible change to others in cooler climates, in Charleston, the change is noted and celebrated.

As is fitting, I've been hunting for items appropriate for the impending autumn -- namely layering pieces like blouses and jackets. These items will be added to Inherited in the coming days: 

1940s  Fred A. Block Original wool cropped jacket with bow detail

 1970s plaid Bobbie Brooks blazer

1960s Clarendon by Henry Fredericks peach wool coat

 1970s floral blouse with removable bowtie 

 1980s sheer cream silk blouse

1950s black shantung silk blazer by Monet Custom Tailors of Hong Kong

 1970s  printed shirtdress (perfect with tights, boots, and a cardigan for fall!)

 1960s accordion pleat wool plaid skirt

Peaches and Cream: Updated

Update: I found this gorgeous maxi dress over Memorial Day, and then managed to completely forget to photograph it, but it's too good not to be added to this collection.

1960s peach taffeta maxi dress with lace overlay

It seems that I've been drawn to the color peach lately. All of these items can be found at Inherited:

 1960s chiffon evening gown

 1960s oxford shirt 

 1960s Lady Lynn Creations embroidered oxford blouse

 1970s Jonathan Martin ruffled peach blouse

1980s Carry Back Ltd. skirt (has the palest tinge of peach)

1970s Studio I dress with lace jacket

How I Wore It.

I did a guest post over at the Lowcountry Artist Market blog about how I style vintage clothes. I focused on the 1960s Rosette Pennington New York brocade skirt and top set that I put up recently in the Inherited shop.

Mountain finds.

While in the mountains, we managed to get away for some solid thrifting adventures. There's gold in them hills!

 1970s Glen Harbour abstract print blouse

1960s lace and turquoise silk cocktail dress

These pieces will be added to the Inherited shop as soon as I stop being so lazy.

A colorful closet clean-out.

I don't know about all y'all, but every time I buy new clothes, I feel the need to make room in my closet. Maybe the years of living in notoriously small-closeted Charleston homes have trained me to constantly edit. Some things I give to my sister, others I donate to local thrift stores, and then I put the more fun things up on eBay. Here's my latest ROY G. BIV selection:

Shop my closet.

I've been out of commission lately, due to the weddings of some of the most amazing people around (third wedding in five weeks is this weekend!), birthday brunches with girlfriends, autumn housewarming parties, thrifting expeditions, family dinners, and housekeeping. Unfortunately, I haven't had my camera with me at these events.

However, I did a serious closet clean-up. If you're interested, look below:

Anthopologie, J. Crew, Nanette Lepore, Lerario Beatriz, Ralph Lauren, Fumblin Foe, Penguin, Mooka Kinney, Ella Moss, and all sorts of goodies.

Pass it on!
