Repro Review: Jitterbuggin, my early birthday present!

Long before April I had an idea of what I wanted for my birthday, it was just a matter of waiting patiently. I don't remember how I first came across Jitterbuggin, but the shop was quickly tucked away into my Etsy favorites once I did.

          

Less than a month ago I dropped a hint to my husband and my order arrived a few days ago, just a little ahead of my birthday next week! Kim is great, and we picked out a nice cotton broadcloth for the pants instead of a wool fabric.

There's accidental flash in this photo (safe for work! I mean the light that pops up from the camera ;) ) but it has a good full view of my entire outfit from yesterday:


Also in this picture, besides my bike (I should probably move it but I love the color): my first dress form! When I got to Nebraska I really thought it'd be nice to revitalize my Etsy and a dress form felt like a must-have. I have been dutifully checking out thrift and antique stores in all of the neighboring areas and I hope to reveal my finds soon!



Blouse - self-made, I'm happy I have something else to wear it with now!
Suspender pants - the Ankeny style from Jitterbuggin on Etsy
Shoes - old pair of Payless white sneakers

If anyone of you have had your eye on something from Kim's shop, you have my full recommendation! I've noticed some new styles added lately and I know more are on the way. I'm so happy with my pair and I know the Vintage Baroness has some Jitterbuggin items that she loves too!

P.S. I heard you all on the last post, you'll be seeing photos of my McCall dress next! Thanks!
