BE A LUAU MAMA OR A CHIC WAIKIKI WAHINI
Since I’ve started getting out the patio frock, here we go – – – – – – Nothing rivals the beautiful workmanship and fabulous fabric found in true vintage Hawaiian fashions from the early Seventies and before. The colors are incomparable. The cottons and rayons are practically indescribable. Men’s shirts are also incredible.
Since at least the 1940’s, dresses made in Hawaii were very desirable for their quality and fit. Some are exceptionally comfy and relaxed. Others are high-volume sexy or very chic.
Think Mata Hari of the islands . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

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 coverage, too. No, what I like best is its absolute uniqueness and style. SO Stevie Nicks, So Sixties . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Come on, Sunshine!!!!

JUST FOUND – A COUPLE MORE PRETTY CLASSIC VINTAGE HANDBAGS
All right – I know that a lot of you, my followers, are not too excited about some of these accessories, but I love them! Aside from being practical, they can really “make” an outfit that would otherwise be kind of blase’.
The black ’40’s – ’50’s evening handbag is so similar to other I have, yet distinctive. It’s got a lovely and high-quality metal frame that puts many to shame. Matte rayon on the outside and black satin inside. Clean and elegant.
The ’60’s purse on right is very plain inside with no brand-name label and was probably sold at a shoe store or department store. The cover is fabric but the construction is nothing special in terms of the quality. However, it’s very clean and pretty. With just the right dress, skirt & blouse or suit, it would really be an eye-catcher!
So, more fun fashion dreams and, of course, always in reverse-time . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

ANOTHER DISCOVERY! 1950’S – 1960’S MEN’S CATALINA SHIRT-JAC
This one is an interesting find. Might have been part of a work uniform back in the day, but it’s a shirt made like a jacket with hip pockets and that funky stripe. Today it would be fun as a sports shirt with jeans. The maker was Catalina – that iconic California maker of sportswear, so who knows . . . . . . . . . . . .
I’m sure that it was intended to be a man’s top when it was made, but today it’s very unisex. To me, it’s got a Grease vibe. Could also go over a tank top or muscle shirt. If it were smaller, I’d keep it myself if not for the orange color. No can do.
So, this was for fun and will go into the archives for the time being. That’s OK. It’s the hunt and the quest that are the real reward!

A REALLY CUTE TRUE VINTAGE MINI-DRESS FROM THE LATE 1960’S
Despite the chilly temperatures, I’m going to start showing Summer things anyway (so, there!) Came across this one by surprise. Ribbed poly knit with a front zip, belt loops and contrasting inverted pleats. Cute, cute, cute!
At first glance it looked like it could be modern, BUT . . . . . . . . . sometimes the clues are hidden . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
