ANOTHER AUSSIE FIND – TRUE VINTAGE 1960’S WORKING-GIRL PUMPS
A kind-of unusual-looking style, don’t you think? These need a polish and a little cleaning, but they’re in excellent condition. Leather pumps by “Diana” – rather high cut on the vamp. They remind me of what I see teachers wearing in old photos.
Investigating across the world is challenging, exciting and always intriguing. One thing that was fun in Australia is that several of the things I found are familiar, but still a bit different from what I discover in the U.S. and Canada. Their own brands and, maybe, some other foreign influences have given the styles a unique twist.
As always, you just never know . . .

TRUE VINTAGE 1950’S WESTERN-WEAR LEATHER JACKET FOR FALL
Beautiful true vintage western-wear jacket from the 1950s/early ’60s. Notice the superb workmanship and tailoring (even though it would look best on a size 4 model rather than size 6). I LOVE…

TRUE VINTAGE 1950’S WESTERN-WEAR LEATHER JACKET FOR FALL
Beautiful true vintage western-wear jacket from the 1950s/early ’60s. Notice the superb workmanship and tailoring (even though it would look best on a size 4 model rather than size 6).
I LOVE the older leather items made in the American west, or in Mexico and Europe. So beautiful! Forgive me if your country has made wonderful leather items, too, and I have not mentioned you here.
The materials are of high quality and have enabled it to last for 50 years with very little sign of wear. Find a jacket of this type and enjoy it for life!

TRUE VINTAGE 1940’S PARTY-WEAR – GREAT BOHO BLOUSE A’LA JANE RUSSELL
Great black velveteen top from the 40s or, maybe, early 50s. It’s a vintage size 16 (can you imagine! Size 4 me can wear it, though it’s very Jane Russell w/o all the decolletage). Just…

TRUE VINTAGE 1940’S PARTY-WEAR – GREAT BOHO BLOUSE A’LA JANE RUSSELL
Great black velveteen top from the 40s or, maybe, early 50s. It’s a vintage size 16 (can you imagine! Size 4 me can wear it, though it’s very Jane Russell w/o all the decolletage). Just goes to show how sizes have changed.
The back neckline is a wide scoop. There is a short metal zipper at the waist on left. Imagine this worn with a long sweeping skirt, a pencil skirt or cigarette pants with a wide belt – all black or imaginative color combos. This style can easily go elegant or boho/beatnik.
The style is really flattering & dramatic. The neckline is beautiful left alone or showcasing a necklace or long dangling earrings (not both, please).
Another fabulous example of original true vintage elegance, found unexpectedly. You just never know . . .

TRUE VINTAGE 1950’S EGYPTIAN REVIVAL NECKLACE AND EARRING SET
In the early to mid-fifties there was a fad of putting Egyptian motifs on all kinds of fashion items, and I have several. This Egyptian style craze had also happened in the 1920’s – especially with furniture.
This is a costume set and it’s a lot of fun. Not really my colors, but it’s a family item and I enjoy it. Very unique.
