Both true vintage, but from very different eras. This sophisticated late 1980’s/1990’s Maggie London silk dress is an uptown and toned down version of Eighties does Forties(with modest shoulder pads and 3/4 sleeves) that reflects a flashier side of the city chic style going on at that time, when “black was back”. I love black, but am so happy to report that the monotone of that decade was broken by vivid, jewel colors, too. Silk was also popular then and some very good quality was still being used.

Speaking of vivid and jewels, I also found this beautiful pair of faux emerald costume clip-on earrings from the Fifties that are a perfect complement. Beautiful stones, in excellent condition – I have others that would go with the dress, but these seemed perfect! I’m usually very selective when collecting evidence . . . . . . .

TRUE VINTAGE MID-CENTURY CASUAL GINGHAM & MEXICAN SILVER JEWELRY

IMG_0908IMG_0942     These garments are from the mid-century, and a bit difficult to date – especially the blouse.  It almost looks like  a square-dancing  costume.  With jeans or a skirt it’s super-cute.  I love gingham in almost anything and really enjoy wearing these.  It’s so cute and has been classic for decades.

 The real star of this post is the jewelry – from Mexico anywhere from the 1930’s to 1950’s, I’d say.  Beautiful quality in 925 silver and inlaid mother-of-pearl.  Pendant, pins and earrings – they’re great with casual, Western-wear clothing and can be dressed up, too.  They really are of fine quality and workmanship – like nothing I see today.  Looked for something similar in Mexico last year, but these are the winners.

I’ll be going to Chicago this weekend, so will be off-line for a couple of days. Wonder what I’ll discover.  May have some fun things to report when I return!
