Too Cool for School . . . . . . .
A find from out West last time I went, this is my second jacket of this type. It’s made of a very heavy synthetic fiber – probably an acrylic, and has a real Happy Days feel to me – and unisex appeal.
I love the abstract geometric designs on these and the bright Fall colors on this one. Warm and attention-getting. Wear them with slacks, jeans ,leggings or they can even go over a skirt or sheath dress. . . . . . .
I haven’t even seen any vintage-inspired lookalikes made for these – at least nothing that could be remotely convincing that it’s real.
But, if you are a skilled investigator, you wouldn’t be fooled . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Compared to yesterday’s beauty, this frock is a cut above in several ways. Pure silk fabric and complex draping and ruching make a truly stand-out bombshell dress design.
From a small designer label, it would have been made in the late 1950’s to very early 1960’s. Couldn’t be more sensational with it’s attention-getting cut and flattering fit.
Just right for strutting your inner Sexy Siren. This is a Marilyn Monroe dress if ever there was one. . . . . . . . .

Perfect for Fall, perfect for work, school or just gadding about. A fabulously comfortable, flattering cut and fabric. Pullover style, easy fit. Great for dancing!
The material has a beautiful hand (feel) and wonderful drape – like nothing made now. Synthetics developed around that time revolutionized the clothing industry, and many others. The colors are so unique and the pattern so interesting. Just an “everyday” dress from the Forties – I’d love to have a million of them!!
This was another surprise find that blew me away. It’s part of what makes this all so fun . . . . . . ..
