Winamac--1955

First off, I am blogging from my brand new Sony Vaio laptop!! This will be the laptop I take with me to college this summer. (=

So, I work at my school's library. I was putting away magazines in the archives, and I stumbled upon old yearbooks! The oldest one that they had was this 1955 one. It's crazy to see how different everything was back then! There was a Future Home Makers Association and a class that taught you how to be a secretary. Even the school is different. Our current school was built in the early 60's. The building pictured here is now the community building. Funny thing, I looked at a yearbook from when they built our current school, and the hallways still look the same! How crazy is that! Time for a makeover Winamac. Let's try to pick a color that doesn't make me think of puke now. Maybe some actual maroon or white would be nice. But anyhow, it was really neat to look through all of those old yearbooks!

Sincerely,

Felicia

I'm a Busy Busy Bee!

 Blah! I know I haven't posted in what seems like forever. I've just been so busy into senior year. All I do is wake up, go to school, work, go to bed, and repeat. In my free time I'm always with my boyfriend. I will try to get around to posting a lot more! My vintage adventures have definitely not stopped! I've recently purchased 4 new dresses on Etsy. The one arrived today and is in need of alterations. I've got hips that are just slightly too big for it. I can wear it, but it's super tight and I'm worried about ripping a seam. The dress is absolutely gorgeous. It's a little dressy, but you can almost never be too dressed up. (Unless you're in a full length prom dress!) This dress is a 50's baby blue and lilac dress. It's hard to describe and I definitely need to add a picture of it once the alterations are complete!
 Seeing how I mentioned prom dresses in the last paragraph, I think I may have found my dress already! It's a 50's prom dress. Light baby blue and all lace. It reminds me a lot of Cinderella. It's absolutely gorgeous, but I'm still not too sure if I will actually buy it. I have it favorited on Etsy and all I have to do is purchase it! I really hope to be posting some more. The next day that I could take pictures would be Friday morning because it's fall break and I don't have school! I was actually considering going thrifting that day, but remembered that I will probably have to watch my little brother. So...maybe you'll hear from me on Friday!
 Con much amor para ropa,

SCHOOL!

 Blah! I haven't been able to post in soooo long. School has got me busy. =/ So far it's been a busy senior year. I've had homework every night, and I was rushing to finish my AP english book that I was supposed to have read this summer. Oops.(= Now I'm done with that book, but I just keep getting homework! And I've had golf meets. I really need to find time to get some pictures up here. I shall try, but unfortunately it is raining today! I either need a photographer or I need to find a way to get a good picture all by my lonesome.
 Anywho, I was going to go golfing at the par 3 course in Logansport tomorrow, but now I feel the need to go thrifting. Now the question is which Good Will? Rochester or Logansport? Hmmmm. If I go to Logansport then I can maybe hit up the antique stores. If I go to Rochester, maybe I can hang out with my cousin. Sometimes shopping alone is BORING. Yet, no one shares my love of vintage around here.
 Speaking of no one sharing my love of vintage around here, here's a "compliment" I got today. It went a little like this, "I love your dresses. I wouldn't wear them, but you can pull it off. I couldn't. I'd be a weirdo." Hmmm....not sure if that is a true compliment? That's not the first time something really similar to that has been said.
 Anywho, I'm going to try to be better at this!

Back to School Time!

 Oh yes, back to school. This is my LAST YEAR! I can finally move on from this stupid town and all of it's crazy drama! I go back tomorrow and I am not looking forward to it. Of course, two days ago I started to feel a little sick. I thought maybe it was just allergies, but today I'm thinking that it may be a cold. After golf practice today I stopped by to pick up my little brother from my grammy's and she has a cold now. I'd feel soooo bad if I was the one to give it to her. =/ I tried not to.
 On the upside I ordered an awesome school bag from Etsy yesterday! It definitely will not be here before tomorrow. It's coming from Latvia. The shipping cost was $12.50! So in the end the bag ended up costing me around $65. It's a really neat leather bag from the 70's. There will definitely be another post about it with pictures. I could try to describe it, but that might be a bit confusing. The way it opens is really unique. It's a really neat bag and I am SO excited to get it! I will once again become a mail stalker.(=
