FABULOUS 1930'S - 1940'S SILK PAJAMAS AND ASIAN - INSPIRED BED JACKET

Absolutely fabulous – true vintage movie star nightwear. I always LOVE finding things like this. It’s true fantasy apparel.

There is nothing more luscious to wear than high quality silk. These aren’t top-of-the-line, but they’re a cut above what’s around these days.

And, just look at those PJ’s – can’t you just see Lana Turner or Greer Garson in those? And, the Asian – style bed jacket is full of mystery and intrigue . . . . . . . . . . .

A FAVORITE TRUE VINTAGE ALMOST WIGGLE DRESS FROM THE 1950'S

This is a dress I wear often, because I really like the fit. It’s not tight enough to qualify as a true “wiggle dress”, I’d say, but it’s very flattering. And, a fit that’s not too tight is much more versatile and, many would say, even sexier. I think so.

It is really a simple day dress, cut well. The big pearlized buttons are such a fun addition to the style. The slightly-wider belt also accents the waist a little more.

These neutral black/white tones can go any time of year . . . . . . . . . .

MOD BLACK AND WHITE SHOES FROM THE MID 1960'S - SPECTATOR STYLE

A pair of, low-heeled classic quasi-spectator-style Mod pumps.  Black and white is always “in”, and is always de la mode.  Very practical for any Sixties – era outfit.  You can also dance the night away in comfort.

This pair is by the famous maker Florsheim, a quality name for decades.  Looks great Spring, Summer or Fall.  Probably in Winter, too.  A classic’s a classic, right?
