Thanks Rue!

It's a Swedish book, unfortunately, as it's a great read- it talks about all aspects of womanhood, from beauty and clothes to child rearing. I do have a blog about my wardrobe building adventure, the link is at the bottom, Fashionable Forties and I talk about the book quite a bit and translate some of it.

Ooo sounds exciting Isis! Maybe some kind American FL:er can help you out with the shoes? It doesn't hurt to ask.

Thank you! I'm sometimes afraid that I have taken on too much, but then it is a fun challenge to see if I can keep it up for four years.

I will poke some friends in the states to see if they can help me out.

I love my jelly wedges from Harajuku Lovers. They may not be your traditional vintage-y shoes, but I think they have a great vibe. Plus they are very comfortable and don't mind getting wet at the beach!

They are just the cutest shoes i have seen for ages!

 

[Almost Vintage]

I need some vintage-y shoes!

I wasn't sure where to ask this question, but my mom bought me two dresses from J Peterman and I'm having an issue trying to decide what kind of summery shoes to wear with each one. Do you girls have any ideas?
Please
Both are mid-calf.

This one is in cotton:

This one is in silk:

For the flower print one some deep lavander low wedges would be cute. Or flat sling backs of any color on the dress... Love that dress
Black is versatile! Any shoe would go well with it. Why not white for the sake of summer?

 

[rue]

Thank you nosferaturoams!

I was thinking wedges would be cute too

As far as white... I don't think my feet need to look any bigger lol

I'm looking for shoes that have a forties look. I've found a few since I posted, but I can't make up my mind.....

Wear saddles with the print number. And colorful bobby socks.

I had thought of that, but the dress is a navy print and my saddles are black and white, does that matter? Or is that all they had then?

Brown and white were actually more common than black and white up until the late fifties -- but either were worn with any kind of print. The socks would be the place to color-coordinate -- either a solid that picks up the color in the print, or something with stripes that echo the colors in the dress.

I had no idea! I have had my eye on some brown and white ones and you just made up my mind

Thank you Lizzie!
