When I bought this sweater, it immediately reminded me of my father and old pictures of him when he was in the navy. I decided to really do up the outfit and I came up with something that made me feel like a vintage sailor girl, circa 1920’s to 1940’s. Then my sister and I went out to Harbor Drive near Downtown San Diego, so that we could have pictures with The USS Midway in the background. It was a beautiful day, which really made the pictures even more like the ones in our dad’s old photo albums, especially with the sepia color. I miss my dad, and it’s nice when we can pay some homage to him in small ways.
Outfit – Hell Bunny sweater from ModCloth; Libertine for Target dress; Hanes textured tights; Jeffrey Campbell shoes; Fleur de Lis necklace (close up here), “Recoil” and typewriter rings by Suki Bijoux; Wendy Brandes ring; handmade bracelet given by my best friend Janice; La Marquise glasses by BonLook; unknown brand purse

Wow Cy! Looking excellent in this mod-sailor outfit! That first photo absolutely exudes a vintage flair with the sepia tone! Love to see a zoom shot of that pendant, it looks like it’s fab! /Madison
Thanks Madison! I know how much you love the vintage vibe, so I’m flattered you love my look. Here’s a link to the close up of the pendant, and I’ll include it in the post (thanks for the idea!).

Wow! This is probably my favorite photoshoot of yours, ever!! I absolutely love the outfit and the oh-so-appropriate setting. Plus, the editing you did on the photos just completes the look!
Thanks Stephanie! It was just one of those inspirational ideas and my sister helped make it happen! Hope you’re well my dear!

I have a soft spot for sailors- ok the sailor outfits, and your sweater is a keeper! Best of all, you’ve created an outfit that makes rooms for warm memories- so that they live on a little longer. Lovely lovely look!
Thanks Bella! I have the same soft spot, and for both reasons! Since I was little, I have had some form of sailor sweater or shirt, and I know it’s the influence of my father.
