What We Wore: Fancy Fling

A week ago, Twill and I came upon this amazing little black dress at an estate sale. We both instantly fell in love, and decided to purchase and share it for special occasions. I decided to debut it for dinner at The Heartland. Great dinner, solid advice, and a little dessert to boot!
I wore, black tights, leather ballet flats from Spain, a Vintage black dress with flowers and Anthropologie sun glasses.

Repurposed: Little Black Dress

Using one black dress, a lot of donated accessories, and spoonfuls of creativity, this woman raised enough money for 287 children to go to school! Check out The Uniform Project.

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.
