Here are a collection of my blouses in slightly heavier fabrics that will go 3 – 4 seasons. Perfect as the weather starts to get cooler. They are all from the 1940’s and 1950’s.
#1 is a striped beauty from Mode ‘0 Day. I love the collar on this, especially, and the interesting red and grey stripe.
#2 is rayon with a fun print, from the ’40’s. I love these funny old fabrics and designs.
#3 is a Bobbie Brooks gingham, probably from the ’40’s, also. It has little decorative pockets on the front.
#4 is a cotton lovely classic, ending just at the waist. A 1940’s or early 1950’s style. Interesting possibilities to wear this one with skirts, slacks or shorts.
It’s such fun to find a separate like these. I never pass them up – so intriguing . . . . . . ….

A very European “walking shoe” that is smart for the city and goes with lots of things. Practical and well-dressed women in the U.S. liked shoes of this sort a lot in the 1930’s, 1940’s and early 1950’s when they were busy at work, or shopping or . . . . . . . . . . Worn with dresses, suits and slacks.
Not sure of the age of these definitely – somewhere between 1970 and 1995. They are, of course, full leather including the soles and superbly constructed. Nothing could be more elegant or classic for sporty day-wear.
Of course, I always love mid-century & war-time styles. Just couldn’t pass these up when I found them, because you rarely encounter this type of quality and that’s always my standard, especially for footwear. I think that they would suit Miss Moneypenny very well, don’t you? . . .
