Looking Like Lucille Ball

10 Dec

When I run across a beautiful vintage garment, and especially at a deal, I squeal an audible “wahoooo!”. That is just what happened when my Mom and I discovered this little number at an estate sale. The 1960′s bright pattern, elasticized wide leg pant and gently draped scoop neck top paired with the sheer bell skirt overlay is just divine. When I put it on I feel like Lucille Ball in her living room, one arm draped across the fireplace mantle, the other holding a long cigarette awaiting Ricki’s arrival. I actually tried that once. I heard the rumble of my husbands diesel truck roar down the drive. I quickly ran to our living room, propped my self up against our stone fireplace with a martini in hand. He walked in and said…………… “What the hell are you doing?” Modern men just don’t get it.

It’s a beautiful dress. I love the color and I love the pattern, is a marvel. You are elegant and beautiful. It has a gorgeous neckline and the downfall of the tissue is wonderful. You look spectacular and jewelry, which is lovely, helps make the outfit is wonderful. Your husband certainly lost consciousness.

  My husband is pretty used to me by now. I learned a lot from all of those I Love Lucy episodes.
