50’s lingerie

Daily writing prompt
What animals make the best/worst pets?

Weird that WP wouldn’t let me answer this on the JetPack app (because I answered it a year ago), but it will let me while on my laptop.

Anyway I’m not answering the question, it’s lame af. There’s not too much deviation in the responses on this prompt.

I’m so happy to be home. Back in my element and my routine. I’ve got lots to do today before back to work tomorrow.

I need to get on the elliptical and do some yoga. Dye my roots. Do some laundry and unpack. Make granola and a bit of grocery shopping.

As I look around my bedroom I’m really kicking myself for not purchasing this nightgown/dressing gown combo from a vintage store in downtown Victoria, Fan Tan Alley to be exact. It was from the 1950’s (the clothing) and it was that bright coral colour that seems synonymous with the 50’s and you actually don’t really see anymore.

I was seriously looking to buy it but figured it looked a bit small to fit me. It was a thin and sheer crepe-y material and had off-white lace around the neck. Super hot, even for the 1950’s. But I’m realizing now I should have purchased it, if not to wear, then to hang by my bedroom windows, as decor.

It would’ve looked so cool. Stupid me.

Ask me how I feel about waking up to a temperature of -18 degrees Celsius, with a “feels like” of -27?!!!

Winter go away please.

At least the sun is shining.

It looked something like this but a little less granny-ish

    1. Yesss I’m loving these vintage nightgowns lately! This isn’t the one, just looked somewhat similar but by googling I can see they’re available in many places online so that’s cool! I should check our local thrift stores as well 😊

      1. You’ve completely inspired me, too. With all the photos I save, I have a photo collection of vintage dressing gowns. Finding pieces would be great fun. Especially if the price is right!

  5. For some reason when I see a nightie like that I think of hair in curlers, cigarette in the side of the mouth, iron in one hand and yelling at her husband. I think I’ve watched too many old tv shows!

    Not to put you off though!

  6. You can still post on the old prompt, you just have to write it as if you’re writing an original post and then still using the daily prompt number for your tag
