1) WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PRINT OFFERED IN YOUR INVENTORY?
I'm just working on adding this fantastic mod print 60s dress to the website, by Mr. Dino....
2)WHAT IS YOUR DEFINITION OF NOVELTY PRINT?
Well, it has to be novel. Not a plaid, or a floral...something whimsical and quirky.
3)MOST AMAZING NOVELTY PRINT YOU’VE EVER SEEN?
Hmmmmm. Just today I saw a print with a crowd of stylized gentlemen wearing top hats, all facing away from the viewer towards a skyscraper lined city.....off in the distance there was a woman in red near the city and a road leading back to the men.....between the woman and all the men there was one red shoe. Truly bizarre and fantastic!!
4)SIZE MATTERS….WHEN WEARING PRINTS, DO YOU PREFER BIG OR SMALL?
HUGE!!!!
COLOR OR BLACK AND WHITE?
Lots of color!!! I love a great graphic black and white but give me giant orange poppies any day!
6)WHAT DESIGNER DOES YOUR FAVORITE PRINTS? (think Shaheen, Pucci, etc)
I'm a big fan of Paganne, I love the borders set against bold prints.

While it feels as if I'm screaming into (the Arctic) wind, my goal this month is still to tout the value of the vintage separate. The skirt is perhaps one of the easiest ways to add some vintage edge to a wardrobe without commiting wholly to an entire "look". If your personality is a little quirky and outgoing, nothing better suited to it than a novelty print 50s skirt! Not at all necessary to pair with a crinoline as many sellers show online, these skirts look modern and fresh worn without and accented with a simple fitted tee or snug, slimming sweater to counter-balance the fullness of the skirt.
In an amazing collection shown on IMAGE EVENT by collector Cathy Gordon, this skirt epitomizes the kitsch and color found in a 50s circle skirt.
Cats too cute? Go for bold, dramatic color....a skirt perfect all year round worn with simple accessories and brightly colored flats. A superb poppy print by the coveted ASSOCIATED AMERICAN ARTISTS, this skirt is available now on eBay (click picture to get to listing by Cat's Pajamas) for less than you'll pay for an off the rack piece at the Gap....
Why buy vintage when you CAN go to the mall? Because everyone else can go to the mall, too. Don't blend into the crowd!
