Over the weekend I got an email from the lovely lady that runs the WWEPW blog. That's "What Would Emma Pillsbury Wear?" blog. And who would Emma Pillsbury be? Emma is the quirky guidance counselor on GLEE, played fabulously by Jayma Mays.
Anyways, the WWEPW blog details all of her fashion on the show, which is awesome, because I love how they style her. The week after my birthday, WWEPW ran a giveaway to win something from the Vintage Envy shop on Etsy. All you had to do was comment on the post with what your favorite item from the shop was. I said mine was the "trolley sweater clip" (not shown any longer). I was so excited to see the email this weekend telling me that I won!
I find this pretty coincidental since just last week I had a conversation with my mom about how I desperately wanted/needed a sweater clip. So what is a sweater clip you ask? And why on earth would you want one? Sweater clips were very popular in the 50s as a way to hold your sweater in place when worn loosely over your shoulders. It was a great alternative to buttoning it closed.
Last week when talking to my mom, I wanted a sweater clip instead of buttoning because I had a ruffly top on under my cardigan and didn't want to lose all the details by closing the cardigan.
I'm so excited to get my sweater clip.... and I will definitely take a picture as soon as I get it!
Thank goodness you don't take after your mother, who never wins anything. :)
