What are you wearing today??

[Brooksie]

Here I am sitting on my front porch this morning before work, I am wearing my 1950's ($10.00 dress - that I found at the Salvation army), vintage belt, and the shoes are soda brand reproduction shoes.

I realize the look is not completely period accurate, but I was feeling a little more casual this morning, all the while keeping true with adding my own spin.

Don't worry about being completely period correct. I think a few of us here worry too much about it. Besides, that's a great summer outfit!

 

[Dinerman]

Fuzzy 3x stetson. Wacky atomic tie.

Everyone looks so good! I especially like those crabs in lucite cufflinks Dinerman.

I attended a going away party today. Not the best photos of my dress (they didn't look that dark on the camera!) but they'll give an idea of my outfit.

Navy late 1940's rayon dress with pleating and buttons, modern cheap stopgap brown belt, modern 1940's style brown wedges, vintage Trifari gold bracelet with green and white rhinestones, tortiseshell eyeglasses.

The pleated panel on the side of the dress swings free from the skirt.

This picture shows the actual color of the dress and the details. My self decapitation and (resemblance to the prow of a ship!) was unintentional! The belt was cinched tighter earlier in the evening too.

Wow, that's a really pretty dress!

 

[MaryDeluxe]

Dinerman you are one well dressed young man! :eusa_clap

imoldfashioned love the dress! I'm so glad you showed a close up of the dress because the details are really cool. Love that row of buttons!

I'm planning on spending my day in my pj's and fuzzy bathrobe. With a box of tissues, a good book and my cat!

Yesterday

At an afternoon ice cream social. I really just wanted to be comfortable and fade into the background, so jeans and hatless.

Scotrace, you and I have the same hairstyle these days. Pretty much identical.

Great casual look Scotrace (and you still look 10x nicer than most of the guys I see out and about). That vest looks like it has some nice details on it particularly.

 

[Jovan]

Is that a banded collar shirt I see?

So true! My boyfriend commented once that those of us who are into vintage (for the most part) always look better than everyone else, even if we're dressed casually.

 

[Dagwood]

Home from work.

 

[HadleyH]

Thanks! But no, not on this particular day anyways.

 

[Spitfire]

Today it was - finally - cold enough to bring out the old IRVIN.
Mixed with the lightblue cottonshirt and the RAF cravat.
(What you cant see are the 1936 pattern flyingboots!)

...damn - never learn the stuff about sizing the pics.

 

[Smithy]

Sharp Spitty, but what's with the Pilot Officer Prune expression? Didn't happen to prang the kite did you?

 

[BJBAmerica]

Fantastic, Spitfire!!! What an awesome coat!!!!
