Celebrate Spring at the Lowcountry Artist Market!

My favorite event of the season is less than five days away! I have been stocking up Inherited's racks  with light and airy nightgowns, and silk tops and bottoms for the impending warm temperatures. I also can't wait to shop the other vendors' tables and eat grilled cheese!

At the Market

The Lowcountry Artist Market was last weekend, and it was so much fun! Talking about vintage all day with fellow enthusiasts of tulle, chiffon and lace gives me quite the rush. Here are a few pictures I managed to snap of Inherited's set-up.

The highlight of the day was selling the amazing red dress (1950s Lord & Taylor!)  on the mannequin to a girl who wore it with all the gamine style of Audrey Hepburn.

Thank you to everyone who came out to chat and shop and try on! You made my day.

Save the Date: Lowcountry Artist Market, Saturday, December 8

We're less than a month from the next Lowcountry Artist Market! Inherited's booth will be stocked with dresses for holiday parties (and New Year's), cozy sweaters for warm nights indoors, and plaid skirts for classic office style. My collection has moved to two racks, plus suitcases bursting with handbags, shoes, and even a $5 bargain selection.

Below are two of my recent faves: a 1950s cherry red chiffon dress by Jonathan Logan for Lord & Taylor (with the sweetest pink bow detail) and a kelly green coat with mandarin collar, bracelet sleeves, and hidden hook-and-eye closures.

Join us at the Music Farm

Saturday, December 8

10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

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

If the shoe fits...

The Inherited shoe collection has been growing, and I'm finally getting around to adding them to the shop!

 1952 Exquisite Footwear silver metallic sandals SOLD

1980s Salvatore Ferragamo tobacco pumps

1980s Salvatore Ferragamo for Saks Fifth Avenue tobacco pumps with suede detail

1960s Daniel Green Leisure Footwear dark coral suede tassleed loafers

Oomphies Cloudhoppers bright yellow woven straw pumps

 1970s "Nepos" Amalfi by Rangoni navy leather heeled sandals with kelly green piping

1960s Penaljo perforated cognac leather heeled oxfords

 vintage Karen Scott black velvet smoking loafers with gold fleur-de-lis embroidery SOLD

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:
