I was so happy with how well my new stockings matched the stripe in my skirt . . .

 . . .  that I had to take some photos and blog about them! (dork) I bought the stockings randomly on Sock Dreams because I loved the design in the knit. Turns out that they are a perfect match for the green stripes in this 1960s skirt. The stockings fit great and they stay up well on their own.

The rest of the outfit included a heather brown short sleeved sweater from a 1940s sweater set, and a 1960s lacey knit cardigan. The shoes are 1990-2000s-ish I think.

Sock Dreams was having a sale, and I had some Christmas money so . . .

I went shopping! I got two pairs of opaque tights and the others are over the knee or thigh highs. Love them.  Now to build an outfit around each pair, the peachy floral pair will probably be the hardest, I don't know if I have anything those colors.

Mystery item - Beach Pajamas, costume, uniform? College pennant novelty print

I picked up this piece a little over a year ago at a local estate sale. It was tossed in a box of vintage costumes. The novelty print caught my eye - College pennants. Cool. When I got it home, I realized that it was a one piece beach pajama - double cool because I love 1930s pajamas. I assumed it was a handmade piece, but then I found the 'Sa Se Maid Brand' label inside the shoulder. Hmmmm. A uniform made like a beach pajama with College names fabric? I wonder what it was used for?

Unfortunately it is only in fair condition. It has some stains and the dark colors have all run in the cotton fabric.
