Vin + tage = Check Mate Red and White Polyester Day Dress

"Go red go red, laugh white."- Gertrude Stein, Tender Buttons


A spectacular specimen of vintage day dresses, the Check Mate Red and White Polyester Day Dress is a winner, always. It's $35.00 what could be better bang for your buck. 


Imagine a picnic. Laughing, green grass, good food... and you're wearing this dress. 



This is a vintage polyester shift dress with a slight A line shape. It is in excellent condition and there are two adorable pockets on the front of the dress. There are bust darts and a center back zipper closure. The dress is not lined but there is neck/arm facings. Bust 38". Waist 40". Hip 40". Length 35".

In + spi + red = Up Close and Personal

A sentence of a vagueness that is violence is authority and a mission and stumbling and also certainly also a prison. Calmness, calm is beside the plate and in way in. There is no turn in terror. There is no volume in sound.

Color + red = The change has come.

RED ROSES.

A cool red rose and a pink cut pink, a collapse and a sold hole, a little less hot.

The change in that is that red weakens an hour. The change has come.

In + spi + red = Abbey Lee Kershaw for ManiaMania “The Third Mind” Campaign


A single image is not splendor. Dirty is yellow. A sign of more in not mentioned. A piece of coffee is not a detainer. The resemblance to yellow is dirtier and distincter. The clean mixture is whiter and not coal color, never more coal color than altogether.

Red Hook = A Frightful Release

A FRIGHTFUL RELEASE.

A bag which was left and not only taken but turned away was not found. The place was shown to be very like the last time. A piece was not exchanged, not a bit of it, a piece was left over. The rest was mismanaged.

A Substance in a Cushion = Prada Fall 2011 Campaign

A SUBSTANCE IN A CUSHION.

The change of color is likely and a difference a very little difference is prepared. Sugar is not a vegetable. 





Callous is something that hardening leaves behind what will be soft if there is a genuine interest in there being present as many girls as men. Does this change. It shows that dirt is clean when there is a volume. 




A cushion has that cover. Supposing you do not like to change, supposing it is very clean that there is no change in appearance, supposing that there is regularity and a costume is that any the worse than an oyster and an exchange. Come to season that is there any extreme use in feather and cotton. Is there not much more joy in a table and more chairs and very likely roundness and a place to put them. 




A circle of fine card board and a chance to see a tassel. 





What is the use of a violent kind of delightfulness if there is no pleasure in not getting tired of it. The question does not come before there is a quotation. In any kind of place there is a top to covering and it is a pleasure at any rate there is some venturing in refusing to believe nonsense. It shows what use there is in a whole piece if one uses it and it is extreme and very likely the little things could be dearer but in any case there is a bargain and if there is the best thing to do is to take it away and wear it and then be reckless be reckless and resolved on returning gratitude. 





Light blue and the same red with purple makes a change. It shows that there is no mistake. Any pink shows that and very likely it is reasonable. Very likely there should not be a finer fancy present. Some increase means a calamity and this is the best preparation for three and more being together. A little calm is so ordinary and in any case there is sweetness and some of that. 





A seal and matches and a swan and ivy and a suit. 







A closet, a closet does not connect under the bed. The band if it is white and black, the band has a green string. A sight a whole sight and a little groan grinding makes a trimming such a sweet singing trimming and a red thing not a round thing but a white thing, a red thing and a white thing. 





The disgrace is not in carelessness nor even in sewing it comes out out of the way. 




What is the sash like. The sash is not like anything mustard it is not like a same thing that has stripes, it is not even more hurt than that, it has a little top.

In + spi + red = Lindsey Wixson Retro Editorial

A CARAFE, THAT IS A BLIND GLASS.


A kind in glass and a cousin, a spectacle and nothing strange a single hurt color and an arrangement in a system to pointing. All this and not ordinary, not unordered in not resembling. The difference is spreading.
