This one’s a little later than the suits we’ve just seen – it belonged to a relative years ago. I think it is a Catalina brand.
Abstract floral print, with a cute little figure-saving skirt over the hips. I love the soft colors.
Such a pleasure to receive things from people I know – it’s great to have the inside scoop on the history and care of the garment. And a double plus when I can wear them, too!

Simple, slightly-fitted day-dress – casual or business-ready. You choose. Any style this classic and well-made can stand on its own in a variety of settings.
I have seen a lot of this color combo from the mid-1960’s and it always looks smashing with brown or black leather accessories. Bone will do nicely, too.
Jackie-O or classic Ray-Ban shades and a chunky coordinated necklace or scarf and there you go. Too cliche’? Cinch the waist and go Fifties, wear it with thigh-high boots and a biker jacket or, if you must, throw it over a pair of black leggings. Looks nicer on Madge, but she wasn’t with me when I took the photo.
When it comes to fashion, I tend to be a purist but when it comes to disguise . . . . . . . . . .

Carrying on with sunny colors, this lovely dress was custom – tailored of citrus – hued silk, with a soft, silky lining. The sleeveless drop-waist styling harks back to the 1920’s but, I believe, it was made in the Sixties.
Back closure of the torso with hooks and eyes and a short zipper at the waist. Below-the-knee hem . . . . . . . . .

From a specialty shop in the Orange State, a breezy rayon blouse in citrus pastels. I love finding true vintage items with the labels of specialty shops in them because they are always unique and of high quality.
