Ladies show us your best.

Mid 30s belted back linen jacket with trapunto collar and a 30s white hat

OMG! I WANT THAT HAT! IT'S AMAAAAAAAAAAAAZING!!!

*Warning: If you bring this to the UK on your trip, I will have to steal it from you during the night* lol

 

[Lauren]

Thanks! I actually got it listed wrong on ebay about two years ago. It was a lot of about 5 or 6 30s and 40s hats in a really neat old hatbox for about $30. They were all smushed when I got them, but I took them to work and used their hat steamer and they popped back into place! This one is my favorite of the bunch, and I think it's one of Matt's favorites, too. He says the buttons look like Skittles lol

 

[Miss Sis]

It's so satisfying when you get something so rare and awesome cheap. Particularly hats. I DO love hats.

 

[Foofoogal]

What wonderful clothes Lauren and you look beautiful in them. Your wedding gown is absolutely gorgeous.

 

[Lauren]

Thanks, gals!
Lindabelle, it was a long and stressful search for my wedding gown! The top part is all antique and I made the under dress for it based on the original under dress, which was so discolored and very fragile, then added lots of ruffles I bought it on ebay from a seller who was liquidating some of a mid west museum's collection. I feel so blessed to have gotten it!

 

[Lusti Weather]

Lauren, I'm in total awe! It's hard to believe that some of those photos are modern. You have a stunning wardrobe; thanks for sharing!

 

[crazydaisy]

These are my favorites. I just love these looks, hope to have something like that too one day to wear.

And what a wonderful colour combination here:

But the one I keep going back to is the orange knit suit. I REALLY want something like that. Wonder if my mother could knit one for me if I got her a pattern...

 

[CherryRed]

Lauren I never tire of seeing your photos. Your outfits are amazing! LOVE them all!:eusa_clap Thank you for sharing.

 

[ladybrettashley]

Oh my! Lauren, your wedding dress is perfect!

Not to mention the white suit and 30s afternoon dress...and everything else =)

 

[laurakitty]

Lauren- you always look so fantastic! You've inspired me to work harder on my hair styles as all of your looks are so together and immaculate.

This is all I can offer

I don't have any photos of my best pieces that I can post but I do have this photo. I love this dress but unfortunately the waist is still too small for me, but I'm not ready to part with it yet (still trying to get the waist in shape).

My daughter is the model in the photo. I wish I would have thought to have her wear a nice pair of my ankle straps. :eusa_doh:

 

[Blondie]

[Lorena B]

[50sGal]

Thank you for your very kind comments girls!!!

 

[ilanacharnelle]

I can't believe all these. You girls have put me to shame. So, so beautiful, all of you. Wow. I'm blown away.

My poor efforts:
(My friend took this as a promo for a 1940s/ 50s inspired song I wrote called 'Sailor Boy').

You look so pretty! I love the dress (or is it a top and skirt?) and the little bow on the waist.
