This past weekend I met with the fabulous Sammy Davis of Sammy Davis Vintage. What started out as a little interrogation chat fest turned into a big kid game of dress-up! I’m not quite a seasoned vintage/thrift shopper but Sammy really had me in a few pieces that I definitely would NOT have tried on by myself but I loved them anyway. If you’re ever in NYC and want to have fun on a Saturday afternoon, stop down at A Little Wicked on E. Houston and play dress-up with Sam! Here are some of my favorite pieces:
Loved this brightly colored skirt
I’m thinking about wearing this bright number while walking on the beach in Costa Rica with my honey…Love the bright colors and pattern!
Checks and patterns and brights, OH MY!
This was one of the very dressed-up outfits I tried on. It was comfy and I could definitely see someone else pulling the jumper off. However, I’m much more conservative myself! I hope someone good snaps this one up though – it reminded me of Blossom way too much! (In a good way!!)
Pink sweater + puffed sleeves = win/win
This was one of the tops that I definitely would not have tried without having Sammy there. She’s got a great eye for color. And this top popped for me!
Shimmery, subtly
I adored this dress. It was casual enough to wear to work with a cardigan but dressy enough for sparkly heels and fun earrings. You can’t really tell in the photo but my baby-making hips got in the way of completely zippering. Sigh.
Brightly colored jacket to brighten a work day
This is the one piece that I most regret leaving behind (and now it’s all “i’m sold! i’m unavailable” and i’m all “but baby, i’m sorry, i love you!”) Lesson learned: if you like it, buy it!
Working (work-it) girl
I adore this outfit. The top is a really neat material – probably too heavy for the summertime but gorgeous for the fall.

I had an amazing day – and many thanks to Sammy for all of the above photos – she made me feel significantly less awkward as the day went on (hi, i hate having my photo taken!) Looking forward to chatting with her more about all-things vintage along with another little project that I’m currently working on. It’s still in the planning stages so I’ll let you know as soon as it’s a bit more solidified.
Also, for additional pictures of these pieces and others that I didn’t include, please check out the Meg’s Mumbo Facebook page.
PPS: Also, please follow Sammy on Twitter, fan her on Facebook and love her over on her fabulous YouTube channel.
