We can still look bright and sunny while staying warm and toasty as the temperatures are dropping. Chenille, quilting and fashionable style kept women feeling chic and comfortable.
There’s nothing nicer than feeling warm and snug when the wind is blowing outside and leaves are falling. Gray clouds and brown leaves don’t have to darken our moods, however . . . . . ..
Just wrap yourself up in one of these, listen to some upbeat music or read about some good news while your sip your coffee/tea – 1 , 2 , 3 abacadabra! . . . . . . . .. . .

Finding true vintage fashion items is not rocket science, but it does involve many bits and pieces of knowledge, skill and experience that come together. They may seem obvious or boring by themselves, but they have made a big difference in my overall success. Of course, there are lots more details involved with each one, but the basic idea is where to start. . . . . . . . .
FINDERS’ CLUE #15 – ESPECIALLY WHEN THRIFTING, SLOW DOWN. Many shoppers pass right by great things by going too fast.

I’ve got a couple of men’s bath/smoking robes of this style – each with a very different feel. This rayon one is “dashing” and “modern” in color and fabric design, though it’s been around for a long time.
The satin trim is classic, as well as the style, which endures even now.
These fashions always remind me of film noir, a favorite genre of mine. See you tomorrow.

I did show this nightgown once before, but since discovered the bed jacket, also by the same maker. You can see that she used some of the same designs on many of her items.
The ribbon trim woven into borders seems to be a trademark feature. The bed jacket was sold at Saks Fifth Avenue, as their label is also inside.
Specialty clothing like this is just another rung up the ladder of luxury in vintage-wear. Although the Odette Barsa company continued to be run by her children until the mid 1980’s, I’m sure that these garments pre-date that time.
Aren’t they lovely . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
