janet and stu.

I have said this so many times already and you know I’ll keep saying it. I mean, how can I ignore the fact that Janet and Stu never fail to stock Three Potato Four with the most amazing vintage finds. Each time I open my inbox and see the “shop update” email, I rush over to their site. I am always in love with and have a wish list in mind of what I’d like to have pop up on my front door. Here’s the most recent batch of finds currently at their shop…

And how I wish I had been able to grab this handsome guy {he’s been scooped up by someone lucky}…

from the boy.

Confession: I am currently obsessed with shirts that look like they’ve been taken from a guy’s closet. You know the ones I’m talking about, right? The big, baggy button down shirts. In fact, I wore one yesterday that had blue and white pinstripes. Heck, I may even wear one again today! I realize that I’ve built a little collection and have decided I’m perfectly fine with it. They’re cute, you can move in them, and paired with the right shoes and accessories can have a sexy feminine feel. And have I mentioned that they are oh-so-comfy? Here are a few favorite boyfriend-inspired items I found on Etsy…

Boyfriend Pinstripe Button Down Shirt by Lamixx: $58.00 {psst – I bought this!}

Olive Stripe Boyfriend Shirt Dress at BeckyDrolen Vintage: sold

Three Potato Four.

The home page of Three Potato Four‘s site shows off their vintage school-inspired selection, a number of which are already sold. I wish I could have them all, but check out the aqua chairs and megaphone!
