Here is the amber I ended up buying, and it was a fabulous pick!
If you return to the orange skirt post & enlarge, you can just see it peeking from the collar of my shirt. I wore to protect myself from the Christian vibes. I love the rough hewn look of this piece, and while amber/jet is traditional, this has pretty peridot beads to help keep me grounded.What else might a witch wear? I'm focused on vintage right now. Vintage is greener! All the resources to make the clothing have already been used. Hopefully, the piece has been worn & loved by someone prior to you, so it's recycling at its best. Here are some vintage embroidered dresses from Mexico. All are lurking in my Etsy favorites right now, but I have not moved in for the kill yet.
Comfort & prettiness come to mind with this purple piece. Not terribly pricey, at $26 I'm thinking that the embroidery is done by machine. However, it looks pretty darn good!
I love this long-sleeved one but, of course, it's $75. If you run round in bare feet like the model, it looks like a nightgown, though. More money, but definitely hand embroidered, with some beautiful smocking. This Etsy seller, Honeywood Vintage, has a shop full of this type of dress, so have a look if this appeals.
Two pics of the final dress:
A brighter yellow at a nice price, $25. It's a fiesta dress! Imagine it after you have laundered & ironed it!
Love it! The necklace and the dress. Thanks to your post about amber, I ended up buying an amber ring from overstock. Im so excited. of course, I got amber and turquoise earrings to match as well.
ReplyDeleteThe dress looks like nice airy cotton too- I like non restricting loose cotton clothes. I am all for preworn clothes as well! and anything bright with pretties on it! woohoo
Like the the purple one and the necklace is lovely. I have silver sliver of moon wraped around an amber broach and pendant. One of my daughters is named Amber.
ReplyDeleteI have always loved Amber and have only found out about its meanings a little while ago....its just made it more special.
