Though newer than most of my collection, these chic vintage shoes by Pappagallo were too stylish and well-made to pass up. They are leather inside and out, with a Vibram sole (the BEST, next to leather). Absolutely LOVE the leather ruffle. Although I have seen the ruffle done in leather on older shoes, I have not seen it on any newer ones so far.
Mid-heel pumps and the taupe color will go practically anywhere with practically anything. any time of year. This is a great accessory to have in your wardrobe because of this versatility. The style also spans several decades. In other words, a classic.
Tres bonne. Que jolie!

Yes, we’re still in it (with temps in the “teens and winter storms) but these jackets start moving us toward Spring with winter white (a traditional late-winter color) and an unlined style.
Jacket #1 on the left is wool with a full lining. No labels remain. Look at the details! Clothing from the ’40s and ’50s had such interesting tailoring touches – every one I find is different in its own way. This one probably had a skirt that went with it at one time . . . . . .
Jacket #2 is lighter-weight and unlined. It does have a matching skirt and was made by the Lampl company. Worn as a cute little suit or as separates, it’s also a winner – looks like a fashion for a ’40s working girl. Neither of these jackets have the iconic huge shoulders of the 1940s, so I would place them toward the end of the decade or, possibly, in the early 1950s. No matter – I always do a little jump for joy when I discover one!
As posted yesterday, I had a FABULOUS day doing my undercover work. It looks like I’ll be able to post daily again, every day excepting Sunday (so that I can get some other things done!) I may skip another day here or there if I’m traveling or something else is happening. I’ll let you know if that comes up. Please join me again tomorrow!

I struck gold with some dresses from the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s. There was lots of ’80s and ’90s fashion, too, though I don’t usually collect anything from later than early 1980s and then, only on occasion. Photos will start coming out soon, after we get through the late winter and early Spring stuff. It was in the 20s Farenheit in my town yesterday, so we’re not out of it yet!
