BLACK & WHITE FOR SUMMER – A BEAUTIFUL SILK FROCK FROM THE FIFTIES

BLACK & WHITE FOR SUMMER - A BEAUTIFUL SILK FROCK FROM THE FIFTIES

Here’s a beautiful start to a series of black and white fashion that I’ll be showing, with a couple of exceptions, for the next week or so. Black and white is so classic and always good – I know some of you like it as much as I do.

Although the Victorians seemed to love black, Coco Chanel might have been the first to roll out the black & white combo in the Thirties, for as long as she did and in the striking ways that she did. It’s been big, off and on, ever since then.

This beautiful frock is of delicate fabric with a subtle B & W stripe. It’s got all the Fifties hallmarks – the wasp waist, a bow on the bodice, midi hem which, when put together, just say “1955”, or so.

The neckline is demure. Grace Kelly would have loved it . . . . . . ..

TRUE VINTAGE 100% LEATHER DELISO SLINGBACK SANDALS

TRUE VINTAGE 100% LEATHER DELISO SLINGBACK SANDALS

Almost every pair of my true vintage shoes has been a surprise find and this was one of the most delicious! Beautiful Delisos from the 1960’s.

I’m always thrilled when I find 100% leather shoes, because that tells me that the craftsmanship is wonderful and, also, that they will be easy to have repaired. Full leather shoes can last a lifetime, with good care.

Sling-backs are one of my favorite styles. That’s the only style you’ll see here for a while, as I work my way through the collection. They’re fabulous for summer, so now’s the time!
