    Spectator Shoes

    In another thread decodoll mentioned purchasing a pair of spectators with whitening powder for them, so I was wondering as i have a couple of pairs of 40's spectators shoes (suede type) that when it comes to whitenning them what sort of products could you use? Would you be able to use chalk?

    What Would You Change (about yourself) for Your Vintage Wear?

    I have been lucky and found a few suits that must have been made for a tall lady as the skirts come past mid calf length!! I wouldn't change how tall I am, as i think taller people can carry off the 40's fashions so well!!:D

    Do's and Don'ts in Fashion

    Also I think if you coordinate you accessories (hat, handbag, gloves, shoes) with colours in you outfit that is the best way to think about it. So, for example if you were going to wear a red,white and blue summer day dress, you could possible have white sandles with a red handbag and a blue hat...
