When are you too old to play dress up? Nevah!!! What fun we had trying on dresses and skirts and shirts and evening gowns and jammies and slips and coats and kimonos!!! We found the "ultimate prom dress", a Whataburger waitress uniform, and a Space Cowgirl outfit. When these girls get together, we love to play. The major motto of the Chulas is that “everything goes with boots”. Texas girls can pull it off. Even nightgowns and slips look like an outfit with boots and turquoise. Even if you aren’t Texan (we are SOOOO sorry about that!) grab a pair of great cowboy boots and get it goin'.
This Chula remembers so very well trying on hand-me-downs from the cousins. They’d clean out their closets, invite us over, and have a” try-on-the-clothes-I don’t-want-anymore” fashion show. They’d sit back on their bunk beds with yellow gingham bedspreads and the cat clock whose tail wags ticking off time in the background and give out “what not to wear” style advice to rival Stacy and Clinton. I got some really good stuff!
We think vintage is so fun because it has a history, a former owner, a life you don’t know about. Its imperfections are part of its story. Wherever you are on the timeline of life….give it a try…be a little girl again….Play dress up just ‘cause it’s fun…..AND…. don’t forget your boots!
