ModCloth Polyvore Challenge

I was asked by one of my favourite online shopping sites, ModCloth to create a Polyvore set based around their private label "call of the styled coat". It was a fun challenge and no I didn't get paid a cent for it. I'm already browsing their site often enough it was kind of like being home really.

As always I found more than a few pieces that tempted me.

I'll find out if I win the honor of having my set appear on their Polyvore page on Monday.

Seems to me they might have wanted to throw in a coupon or something for the winner. Hint hint marketing manager! ; )

What do you think of my look?

Ta Da!

The green 1950's dress from Cabaret Vintage.

We got quite a few compliments from people on our outfits.

This is the dress that everyone was enamoured with on my girlfriend. It is a replica by Blackbird Studios and just looks gorgeous on her. Va va voom!

Robert's hat, vest, tie, cuff links, and jacket are all vintage. I really love how his outfit turned out. Sexy!

I had some fun with some photos we took before we left…

Yes this is what happens when you try to pose with your man.

So here are some photos from the Swing Out To Victory dance held at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum.

We had a blast.

Under the bomber is where the band played.

We danced quite a bit considering we don't know Lindy Hop. We managed with the swing we know. Too bad they didn't play any tango.

Hazel is a pro dancer and also the reason we were there. She bought the tickets for us for our anniversary. Thanks Hazel!

The band was fabulous.

As were all the dancers.

Lots of people dressed up as you can see. There was even a Nazi couple walking around, which was a bit freaky and kind of weird. They really did look the part. Robert kept wondering why they were there since they had lost the war.
