Portland Oregon: Costume Time

We love spending the Christmas holidays in Portland.  The city is festive and at its most charming during the holiday season.  Once evening Kayla and I ran into a crowd of perhaps 100 Santas making their way from one Pearl District bar to another, sampling holiday spirits.

It seems that holiday costume parties are a local tradition and many stores put out the most outrageous cloths and masks for costumes.  So naturally we just had to check out the Goodwill store near our hotel to see what was on offer. And we found that some holiday "spirits" were awaiting us.

Pretty colorful, but who would wear it?

A couple of locals had their own notions about how to celebrate the holiday.

After the whimsy, we headed off into the city for another day of exploration.

PATIO DRESS PANACHE

I love it when Luminous Lady Vintage customers send me photos of themselves in a dress they've purchased and then made their own with great accessories and style. Here is Biddy looking glorious, wearing a vintage 50's pink patio dress in the "Mexican play-dress influenced style" of the 40's & 50's. She is at the Maverick Festival in England.

We continued our journey through vintage Portland with a visit to another great vintage shop on the east side of Portland: Xtabay.

The shop has a unique style, and all its displays are very elegant.

Gold and white tones abound and cloths and accessories are displayed elegantly.

As is so typically the case in Portland sales staff are knowledgeable and helpful. 

After a lovely day of shopping we stepped out of Xtabay into one of Portland's more charming neighborhoods in search of dinner.  No problem ....... so many good restaurants in the neighborhood.
