This is also a true vintage brand that I already own – so fun to find things by names that I know.  It’s a vintage 16, which was a plus size at that time, but still looks pretty cute on Stella.

Plain and everyday, but still worth picking up, to me.  All part of the vintage sleuthing craft . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

TRUE VINTAGE 1960’S STILETTO SLING-BACK HEELS FOR 3-SEASONS – FABRIC AND LEATHER FROM JOHANSEN

TRUE VINTAGE 1960’S STILETTO SLING-BACK HEELS FOR 3-SEASONS – FABRIC AND LEATHER FROM JOHANSEN

 STILETTO SLING-BACK HEELS FOR SUMMER - FABRIC AND LEATHER FROM JOHANSEN AGAIN

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

JUST UNPACKED A FAVORITE SUMMER PATIO DRESS! TRUE VINTAGE 1960’S BOHO WITCHY STYLE . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..

JUST UNPACKED A FAVORITE SUMMER PATIO DRESS! TRUE VINTAGE 1960’S BOHO WITCHY STYLE . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..

Love this dress!  The hippie-dippie sleeves, tiny polka dot, empire waistline and sexy fit.  Maybe what I like best is the easy-wear of it for hot weather – cool and breezy but gives good sun protection.  Surprisingly, most of the patio and lounging dresses I have found do have long sleeves!?

This one is just really pretty and unique.  Not very practical for fixing food but it surely makes you stand out.  Never seen anything like it before.  One of my favorites, especially for evening parties . . . . . .

JUST A LITTLE HEADS-UP ANNOUNCEMENT

Good morning, all. Thanks for keeping up with me and my closet revelations. This summer fashion series will continue through the end of this month, but I will be traveling during the next few weeks. Because of that, there will probably be some days when social media sharing will be delayed, as well as any responses to comments, etc.

So, if there seems to be a glitch at times, please bear with me and all will continue through the end of August. I’m musing over whether/when I’ll do a Fall series and will give you an update later because you just never know . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

FLATTERING TRUE VINTAGE 1950’S – EARLY 1960’S SUMMER DRESS IN APRICOT

FLATTERING TRUE VINTAGE 1950’S – EARLY 1960’S SUMMER DRESS IN APRICOT

FLATTERING TRUE VINTAGE 1950'S - EARLY 1960'S SUMMER DRESS IN APRICOT

I love the styling of this frock, with its wasp waist, free hips, cap sleeves and delicate neckline that really enhance the figure.  Madge’s fuller measurements give it the right “va-voom” fit.  I also like the peek-a-boo effect of the white band below the waistline.

This was another “surprise find” – always the most fun!  Summer days and nights, here we come . . . . . .
