Outpost Outfitted: Presidential Gold

Wednesday, August 10th, 2011

Inspired by gold busts of presidents past, this dress is fit for a first lady, or any lady really. The collar, the buttons, and the fabric, with its ever-so-slight sheen, are exquisite. Pop on a pair of cameo buttons from Busy Beaver and Shades of Grey mixed earrings for a bit of whimsy, and add the vintage Whiting and Davis clutch to kick it up a notch. That turquoise and green damask-style hat box is just waiting to store your past and future treasures.

Axis of Evelyn 50′s Brown Button Down Dress – $190

Whiting & Davis Clutch – $65

Shades of Grey Earrings - $40

Lincoln & Washington Busts – $14/each

Vintage Hat Box – $35

Busy Beaver Cameo Buttons – $5/pair

Stop in the shop to check out more from Axis of Evelyn and see the other busts available.

Outpost Outfitted: Heron in Flight

Wednesday, July 27th, 2011

Something about this dress reminds us of this screen print…or is it the other way around? Which came first, the heron or the dress? Either way, this vintage 70′s maxi dress evokes wings, a stroll around a lagoon, Stevie Nicks, and/or a fancy pants garden party, perhaps?  Pair it with this incredible Shades of Grey tri-tone set of vintage chains that have been given a new look.  The real showstopper is that RED raffia purse – just tuck the chain in to make it clutch and you’re off.

Axis of Evelyn 70′s Blue Flower Dress – $148

Vintage Raffia Purse – $35

Shades of Grey Tritone Collar – $86

Lagoon Screen print – $35 (2 Versions available)

Stop in the shop to see the dress in full length, more from Evelyn’s vintage collection, and other pieces from Shades of Grey.

Outpost Outfitted: Office or Evening?

Wednesday, July 20th, 2011

This vintage 50’s linen dress is from the collection of Axis of Evelyn, which we have been drooling over in the shop since she started supplying us with her treasures back in January. If only it were my size, it would now be in my collection.  The brass buckle and button details take it from simple to stunning (the buttons go down the back of the top too!), and don’t even get me started on the color. We’re mixing eras here with a 40’s clutch, which has an impeccable lining and just enough space to stash the essentials…like that little metal mesh wallet for a hidden pop of gold.  Add a 70’s necklace and a touch of new with the Laura Lombardi bracelet, and you’re set for the office a fabulous evening.

Laura Lombardi: Nest Bracelet - $80

Evans Gold Wallet - $28

Axis of Evelyn:

50′s Green Dress with Brass Buckle – $135

40′s Caramel Clutch – $70

70′s Multi Chain Necklace – $75

Stop by Post 27 to try this ensemble on and see the latest offerings from Evelyn.

Rolling out the Red Carpet for Carly

Tuesday, July 19th, 2011

I’m so thrilled to announce our newest contributor to the blog, Carly Pokornowski. Carly comes by her blogging talents honestly, which you can feast your eyes on here. At the shop, you’ll find Carly holding down the fort most Sundays. She loves architecture, bashing golf balls, Neko Case, and she’s got a fascinating eye for jewelry to boot. In fact, her tastes are so keen that she’s going to be styling, shooting and writing up a weekly fashion feature that we’re calling Outpost Outfitted. (We’re launching it tomorrow!) So glad she’s getting to give the proper love and attention to our beloved clothes and accessories, which have sadly been pretty absent from our blog until now. High fives & a big giant welcome to Carly!!

We had an amazing day last Saturday, when we launched the Axis of Evelyn collection and it’s arrival at Post 27.  Our new dressing room worked out perfectly and we went through a case of bubbly! Evelyn will be here on Saturdays to share her knowledge and talented eye on the ever changing new addition to our shop.  It’s so nice to be surrounded by such beautiful things to wear.
