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…

VERY SPECIAL TRUE VINTAGE 1940’S RAYON BLOUSE
True Vintage Belted Day-Dress from the late !940’s for Fall
TRUE VINTAGE WAR-TIME 1940’S DAY DRESS – PERFECT FOR EARLY AUTUMN
Another of my favorites. It took me a little while to fall in love with this one, but I did. Some of the buttons and the belt needed replacing, but fortunately I had in my collection some fun copper-colored ones that matched! They spark up the overall gray color of the fabric and add interest.
Actually, the fabric isn’t gray. It’s maybe the tiniest black & white check known to mankind. Had to get out my magnifying glass to examine the fabric closely. The weave is very interesting and looks like a cross between a stripe and a houndstooth check, in a beautiful rayon (?) with a wonderful drape – So luscious that it makes me wish I were a fabric expert to understand it better. In warm lighting, it gives a kind of nut-brown effect that seems just right for going into Fall.
As usual, there’s a metal…

MORE SHOES! HOW DO YOU LIKE THESE LOVELIES FROM THE LATE ’50’S – EARLY ’60’S?
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…
