What are you wearing today??

[Black Dahlia]

I haven't posted in here in awhile, but I'm wearing this 40s sun dress and matching jacket that I recently won on ebay, so here goes.....

I can't decide if I look like I'm wearing a picnic tablecloth made into a dress or not lol

Hi Rue, glad to see you posting here again! I love your dress and saddle shoes!

This thread is dedicated to pic posts and ensuing compliments ONLY, my friend... regardless.

l have spoken with RodeoRose about the post and cleared up our misunderstandings. She is in good spirits and o.k with my post because she understands where l was coming from given my different cultural background in clothing from most folks here. RodeoRose knows l meant no malice by it.

l think l will play it safe in future and just browse this thread and make no posts. l usually only post in the shoe thread anyway.

Regards: The Shooman.

Oh, let's all move on and keep posting more, it's the life of this lovely thread! Rose and Shooman, Rue, BD, everybody!

Say, I have an idea. How about everyone post their FAVORITE outfit? Sure, maybe there should be a separate thread for that, but let's go the extra mile: everyone wear your favorite threads tomorrow! I'll cheat to start off with my favorite vintage trolley uniform, worn last Sunday.

Philadelphia Transit Company, circa 1940s-50s:

This is my favorite because it's so complete! My ticket punch and coin changer are original PTC. I made a repro hat badge to go with it. Now all I need is a large and a small PTC coat button, and I'll be all set!

All aboard the Tuesday Top Threads Trolley!

Today’s outfit- the perfect companion for spring weather and a busy day of bargain hunting!
It's a 40's bolero suit made from an original pattern.

^ inspecting my new suit!

My dear, you are truly a heart breaker!

 

[Rats Riley]

Really interesting clothing you are wearing, but l am not sure the colours are all working together.

I personally love the outfits Rose. The second pic is very sharp! Love the jacket!!

Thank you BD! You always look fabulous

Oh for God's sake.... can we move on please?

To help with that, I'm posting my only available picture, which I snapped the other day. I know it doesn't show that much but it's a polo knit I wore with a brown tweed skirt, a scarf and my new art deco earrings. Seems I've been all about tweed and knits lately.

 

[Flicka]

And rue, I love your saddle shoes. I would like a pair just like that. Also, your hair is pretty perfect. Lovely outfit!

 

[Gin&Tonics]

@Flicka; Dame, you're a real Sheba; your look is just the cat's meow! (Fun with 1920's slang lol )

 

[rue]

Ouch, my condolences, Rue... (

Thank you DB, but it's fine

Rue, "picnic blanket" nothing! Gingham is one of my favorite fabrics, and you look gorgeous!! Love the tan and white saddles, too.

Thank you RR

Feelin' a mite... warm in here.

I think I may have to revise my world-view that "all the good ones are already taken."

Awww.... you're sweet

Thank you Flicka! I love your whole look, especially your hair

Lovely! Looks like summer too. Was it very chilly to snap it?

Flika, thank you. Luckily our garden is sheltered from the wind so I didn't get too cold while posing. I defiantly still needed a cardigan to venture further than the garden though!

Black Dahlia, thank you. The shoes here are one of my favourite pairs. They are really comfortable and not too high. I got them when I was 16 for my father's wedding, it was only afterwards someone told me that green at weddings is meant to be bad luck! I'm currently trying to hunt down some green polish to cover some scuffs on the heels, having a gravel driveway is unfortunately not kind to shoes.

 

[Gin&Tonics]

About all I could manage after a frustrating and disheartening day at work (I wear a uniform at work, so this is a change of clothes, not what I wore in the daytime).

 

[rue]

Hey rue do you have some other trendy shoes?

I'm going to assume that you are not trying to be funny.

Yes, I have several pairs of shoes, but chose to wear those with that dress. I would say that a great majority of the girls here have saddle shoes, so I guess they would be considered "trendy" here at the FL.

 

[Miss Tuppence]

It really is quite toasty in my neck of the woods, so I spent some of the afternoon knitting in the garden wearing a 50’s sun suit (YES- a sun suit in March!!!)
Not sure it’s the best colour for a pasty creature like me though!

Ladies and gents, you all look great!

It's great to see happy faces and new places around the globe!

An outfit for spring

Beautiful spring day here today. So it was the right time to break out the lightweight cotton jacket (1960s), wonderful 'Rooster' knitted tie, and light brown moleskins. Once outside, it was teamed with a pale eight piece linen cap. The combination was very continental. Apart from the tie, it had the look of a 'party member on holiday in Odessa, 1956' (a light coloured cap always makes me think of the Black Sea for some reason).
