Gotta have for summer! Original vintage low-heeled pumps found in the Miami area. From the late Sixties – early Seventies. One pair more casual, one pair a bit dressy.
Both a little bit mod . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Bored in Miami? Snowbound in your photography studio? How about livening things up with a little vintage cheesecake?
Look at those cups on this classic ’50’s Jantzen maillot! If you didn’t have the figure, these suits would do their best to give it to you.
I’ll bet you can think of all sorts of ways to pose in this bubblegum pink cutie, and with all the necessary accessories.
Snowstorms – That’s why your mother wanted you to learn how to play by yourself.

The dress is bare shoulders with rhinestone-studded straps and trim, back zip and a side slit for doing the boogie. The jacket has rhinestone-studded buttons. I have some silver and black platform sandals from the same era that go perfectly!.
