 HOW TO WEAR A VINTAGE SLIP

or trying to got a size 32 slip on a 44 body

Oh, dear!

maybe if I try this.......

Houston, we may have a problem

maybe this will work

A cowl neck wrap

Or embrace your inner pirate. Avast me hardies!

I always look for vintage slips when I go thrifting. It's hard to find  slips in the retail shops and I use then in the shows. Last summer I bought a pretty polka dot sheer dress, it was screaming at me "wear a slip, bitch!" After not finding anything in 3 stores except for Spanx like bodyshapers, I was about ready to give up. A couple of weeks later on a trip to Tallahassee I went to Dillard's and finally found a basic slip. Is it just me, or is it really hard to find basic items? A couple of Christmas' ago I had the same problem finding The Doctor a Levi's trucker jacket.

I'm wearing: stripped t-shirt $1 rack. Nice black slacks: bought new 2-years ago at Coldwater Creek $80. Vintage slip as headwrap $2

 HAPPY EARTH DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    When in doubt, wrap it, stick it, tie it, glue it, pin it or balance it on your head!!

    LOLOLOLOL you are too much!!
    It's hard to find plain slips anymore--and forget finding divided half-slips (these are like bloomers but open at the bottom--cuts down on thigh rub!

    Ooooooooh yes a head wrap! You've nailed it especially with the striped shirt. Well I'm still glad that gorgeous slip has gone to a good home, at least I know it will be safe and sound with you and put to good use in your shows:). You crack me up! xoxo

    Slips are great, but it's hard to find the nice ones in bigger sizes!
