What We Wore: Spring Cleaning

I went through my closet recently to get out some of my dusty spring and summer clothes. It feels like a life time ago that I wore something without tights or long sleeves. In riffling through I found this top, and remembered how much I loved it. So here is my spring cleaning outfit. Urban outfitters skinny jeans, vintage tooled leather purse, thrifted woven ballet flats, re-purposed vintage blouse and vintage sunglasses from a rummage sale in Portugal.

Background

Teacup Vintage was created by a duo of twenty-somethings who have shared 15 years of friendship. We have a love for all things vintage and child-friendly. Our adventures in vintage and thrifting started when we were wee tots and our grandmothers insisted on making all the dresses our moms couldn't find at the local thrift. We have fond memories of wearing those dresses (lovely little ladies with skinned knees), sitting criss-cross applesauce on hand crocheted afghans, wearing hundreds of "pearls", and sipping peppermint tea. When we were teenagers, we raided our mothers' closets and wore everything from hand-made 70's prom dresses to bell-bottoms (photos to come, you are in for a treat). We both went to University for education and continue to work with children as nannies and teachers. We love to write about vintage and handmade wares, children, tea parties, cooking, travel, and the big and small adventures in our everyday lives.
