HOW RARE! A SECOND PAIR OF HIGH-WAIST SLACKS FROM THE 1960’S
Lightweight true vintage wool pants with the high waist that I love. Just perfect for chilly fall weather at the football stadium. These don’t have quite the wide-leg of that last pair, but still very much from that mid-century time and will be great with some knee-boots I just bought.
They’re just a mid-priced item (Modern Juniors) with no lining, but tights or a pants-liner “slip” (those do come in handy) will take care of that.
I’ll have to dig through my long-sleeved shirts, sweaters and blazers for just the right combo. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

BEST EVER PANTS FIND – 1960’S BELL-BOTTOMS
BEST EVER PANTS FIND – 1960’S BELL-BOTTOMS
I always have my eye out for great slacks like these, but they’re SO rare. Love these late Sixties flares that are reminiscent of 1940’s women’s styles and sailors’ pants. Such a treat to find slacks that fit like a glove.
The cut velour fabric is comfy but not too plush. Good for wear in any cool weather (I like them most in Fall, of course) and also in a great neutral color; much more versatile than some of the wild prints from that time that are really Mod-cute but wearable with only one or two tops in the closet.
They’ll look great with that cheetah-print blouse from a few days ago . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

1970’S HIGH-WAIST PANTS COMPLETE AN ENSEMBLE!
When it rains it pours. I’d been snooping for some well-fitting, stylish true vintage pants and the Universe delivered. Another pair of tailored slacks made very similarly to the ones shown from my last expedition but these set the bar a notch higher. In linen, with a full lining and beautifully-made.
Though the color is gorgeous, it can be a bit dodgy to coordinate effectively with anything but black or white. However . . . . . . . . . . . last year I had uncovered this lovely silk blouse with 1980’s – early 1990’s styling. Loved the color combo but also didn’t have just the right things to wear it with. Well, you see what happens . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Hang on. There’s more to come ——-

Fab High-waist Slacks from the 1960’s
Drat! Clear channels are blocked so I won’t be able to send the entire inventory in one product. So, each acquisition will be covered in a separate communique.
These slacks could possibly be from the 1950’s, but I’m going to bet that they’re a few years younger than that. Pants like these have been on my discover list for some time. They have a slim, but not tight, fit. The pleats in front are not bunchy and the hip pockets lie flat!! Plus, there are little notches in the side seams at the ankles. Nice summer-weight fabric in basic bright colors. Perfect condition, fabulous vintage tailoring and THEY FIT!!!
After several months off the streets, it’s nice to venture into circulation again but – as always until further notice – sleuth cautiously and with protection.

VERY UNUSUAL DISCOVERY: TRUE VINTAGE 1940’S WOMEN’S(?) SLACKS BY THE HAGGAR COMPANY!!!
GREAT 1970’S SEPARATES FIND!
Wouldn’t normally wear these together, but it was convenient to photograph them that way and the look surprisingly good. I’d just been dreaming about finding some wide-leg, high waist pants and more blouses . . . . . . . . . .
Love these! They both fit me really well and I’m already enjoying wearing them. The pants are Bobbie Brooks (always a reliable vintage find) and the blouse is by Mardi Modes New York. How cool is that?! A really neat feather print on the shirt, and nice colors. I wouldn’t wear the neckline in a frilly bow, but prefer a high-neck tie effect. The pants are just super-flattering and, with a navy and ivory coloring, are great with my pea jacket find.
So, it keeps going on and on. What next? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Stay tuned . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . …

TRUE VINTAGE SEVENTIES DOES FORTIES BLOUSE AND HIGH-WAIST PANTS
Two finds from the 1970’s, put together perfectly. I love the cute 1940’s vibe; these pieces were made in the early 1970’s when that style was revived. The shirt was from Sears Junior Bazaar and the slacks made by a company called Beeline. How fun!
The pants are long, so they’re great with platform sandals – another thing popular at that time – also part of the 1940’s retro thing. As a true vintage sleuth, it’s so fun to watch how the styles go around and come around again.
