TRUE VINTAGE 1940’S PARTY-WEAR – GREAT BOHO BLOUSE A’LA JANE RUSSELL
Great black velveteen top from the 40s or, maybe, early 50s. It’s a vintage size 16 (can you imagine! Size 4 me can wear it, though it’s very Jane Russell w/o all the decolletage). Just goes to show how sizes have changed.
The back neckline is a wide scoop. There is a short metal zipper at the waist on left. Imagine this worn with a long sweeping skirt, a pencil skirt or cigarette pants with a wide belt – all black or imaginative color combos. This style can easily go elegant or boho/beatnik.
The style is really flattering & dramatic. The neckline is beautiful left alone or showcasing a necklace or long dangling earrings (not both, please).
Another fabulous example of original true vintage elegance, found unexpectedly. You just never know . . .

TRUE VINTAGE MID-CENTURY CASUAL GINGHAM & MEXICAN SILVER JEWELRY
These garments are from the mid-century, and a bit difficult to date – especially the blouse. It almost looks like a square-dancing costume. With jeans or a skirt it’s super-cute. I love gingham in almost anything and really enjoy wearing these. It’s so cute and has been classic for decades.
The real star of this post is the jewelry – from Mexico anywhere from the 1930’s to 1950’s, I’d say. Beautiful quality in 925 silver and inlaid mother-of-pearl. Pendant, pins and earrings – they’re great with casual, Western-wear clothing and can be dressed up, too. They really are of fine quality and workmanship – like nothing I see today. Looked for something similar in Mexico last year, but these are the winners.
I’ll be going to Chicago this weekend, so will be off-line for a couple of days. Wonder what I’ll discover. May have some fun things to report when I return!
