I believe that these are all from the 1960’s. Floral self-belted house dress/casual day-dress (LOVE these vibrant colors!) and shoes for late summer days. I’m always happy to find red!

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 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

This is one of my favorite true vintage styles in warm weather shoes. The fabric uppers and openness are so breezy, cool and feminine. They are such a cross between dressy and casual that they are very versatile and will look just right almost any time.
I’ve found lots of lovely true vintage shoe styles by Johansen since I’ve been sleuthing and they’re always dependably elegant and well-made. Such a pleasure to find and to wear . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . ..

I’ve found a number of mid-century true vintage sporty-type items by Joyce. One label said Joyce of Chicago, so maybe the same company. Some companies have changed their labels somewhat over the years.
These flats are leather, of course, but only the uppers and interiors. The soles are a good synthetic like Vibram (will last for decades). I always love cut-out styles and these carnival colors are so much fun!
Just the ticket to wear with capris, cigarette pants, a cute dress or skirt – or shorts. ’60’s casual fashions were all about playful and surprising. The ’50’s certainly have those moments, too, in a BIG way but, overall, there’s more loyalty to the conservative classics in the 1950’s.
With the closed toe and elegant styling, these “summer” shoes are easily worn Spring through Fall. My main challenge here is finding the right clothing and colors to accompany them. But, there is always black or white . . . . . . . . . . . .

These are definitely for Fourth 
of July! I have a purse from the same era that they’re almost a match for. Also, they’re great nautical colors that are popular in the Spring and Fall. However, the closed toe can be worn any time of year.
Another fab find in wonderful condition. Chunky low heels, a raised vamp – perfect mid-late 1960’s style. This is so much fun . . . . .

These are the perfect shoes to be worn with the wedding suit shown yesterday. Can you imagine a pair of white satin pumps at least 60 years old staying in this condition? Who knows how long they were out of the original owner’s safekeeping? Amazing!! I found these beautiful fabric shoes clean enough to be worn again as is.
Fun ’40’s/’50’s styling and beautiful leather soles that make them good forever. They also carry a mysterious story of a very special and formal occasion. I wonder where and when it was . . . . .

These are just so pretty and Spring-y that they’re my choice for this holiday. With embroidered flowers and a good dose of green, they stand above plain colors today.
I love the fact that they’re in such good condition – it’s always a treat to see the names of small, privately-owned shoe stores printed inside, as was often done in the mid-century. This was true of clothing, hats and purses, too.
Pretty shoes like this just don’t seem to be made anymore. The vintage-style substitutes just don’t make the grade. And, of course, these are 100% leather excepting for the fabric uppers.
So, trip off to a party or the light fantastic just like a fairie . … . . . . . . . … .

I’ve come across many shoes by this company – made in the U.S. for many years. Just love these little oxford flats for summer! They echo the blue-and-green trend that went on in the early 1960’s. Skip off to the party on the 17th. These will get you in the door.
As always happens, what goes around comes around in the fashion world. Just read that flats are back in again, after the recent trend of heels so high that they aren’t flattering to our legs anymore.
When it comes to design, there’s a “sweet spot” with every style that is absolutely the most attractive cut and shape. A few designers get this just right. A few more stay pretty close, but so many miss the mark altogether.
These shoes are cute and elegant at the same time. I think Audrey Hepburn would approve . . . . . . . . . . .

Perfect, barely – worn, sling-back peep-toe sandals from the mid-1950’s. My day is absolutely made every time I discover another treasure like these! Yes, there’s enough green here, too, to qualify for St. Patrick’s Day.
100% leather soles with fabric uppers in an abstract floral print of blues, greens and beige. Unusual and gorgeous.
These are “Tweedies” brand, stamped in gold on the black leather insole of the right foot, with the local shoe store’s name stamped in gold on the insole of the left. I’ve found that it was often done this way back in the day.
Oh, what will be around the next corner? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

In the original bags from Saks Fifth Avenue – what a find! These fabric – upper heels are so beautiful and well-made.
In a swirly, abstract print of browns and greens, they could work with your dark green dress. Leather soles, of course.
What more can I say? . . . . . . . . . . . . .
