TRUE VINTAGE FALL FOOTWEAR – A PAIR OF SHOES THAT REMIND ME OF AUDREY
FALL FASHION FOOTWEAR – TRUE VINTAGE, AUDREY HEPBURN-STYLE
The actress Audrey Hepburn, I’ve read, favored cute little low-heeled shoes like these in the 1950’s and 1960’s when she was making many movies in America and Europe. Though this pair are not quite that old, they’re of a style that has been around for decades and were made by a company that used to sell good-quality shoes and purses.
Nothing beats the classics and these are pure – Fall colors, back to school, practical casual fashion and comfort. Fashion items this versatile are a super investment, while looking so unique! Leather uppers with strong synthetic soles, they’ll last forever if they are looked after. Ahh, the beauty of a true vintage quality wardrobe . . . . ..
I wear them with a skirt and sweater, a jumper dress, slacks or even a simple suit. They’re a good choice for a day of shopping or sight-seeing or a long…

TRUE VINTAGE 1950’S PUMPS – FLASHY FASHION IN ELEGANT LEATHER
I just HAD to have these when I found them! It’s interesting how they look so much like the fashion that became really popular in the early 1980’s “New Wave” era. The Fifties did some really fun, dramatic styling when they were coming out of their conservative period – think about fins on cars that were made then.
These pumps escape looking trashy by the fact that they are quality footwear, well-made of leather and not over-the-top in terms of the design. Their elegance makes them wearable with almost any type of outfit. In my opinion, that’s the way to make dramatic looks really effective, rather than just faddish or cheap and easy to forget (along with the person wearing them!) Vintage-era designers knew this.
A follower asked me yesterday how I date clothing, etc. and it’s not an easy thing to answer in a few words. Mostly, I just…

NEW FIND! MID-CENTURY RED GINGHAM BLOUSE!!
NEW FIND! MID-CENTURY RED GINGHAM BLOUSE!!
My favorite red gingham in another wonderful wardrobe.separate. As I always say, you can’t have too many blouses and shirts. I’ll wear this with so many things.
Soft fabric, little tailoring and style details that are “different”, wonderful fit. Great with jeans, slacks, shorts, skirts, under a jumper, . . . . .
It always gives me tingles to spy a garment with little clues that tell me it’s 40 or 50 or more years old, though most people would never know. When I wear it, they just know that they like it, but they don’t know why. They’re curious and it bothers them – just can’t quite figure it out.
Oh, well. It’s just part of the craft . . . . . . . . . . . another day in the life of –

VERSATILE TRUE VINTAGE BLOUSES AND SHIRTS – NEVER TOO MANY!
Today I’m showing some of my day – to – day blouses in colors, prints and solids. . . . . . hues that can go year-round. From left to right, they go from the early 1950’s to mid – 1960’s.
The dressier one, which is also sheer and lightweight, is on the left. Rhinestone buttons give it a girly touch. The way we do things now, it can be worn with a casual outfit but it would still look lovely under a suit or with a pretty skirt, as it would have been worn back in the day.
This cotton selection (the 3 on the right) has longer sleeves than my hottest weather group, but they’re so classic that they can really be worn any time and add fun to my wardrobe. The classic print on the center one and 3/4 sleeves are style elements that are favorites of…
