21 8 08

As you may have gathered by now, I am a huge lover of vintage clothes. My favourite era’s are from the 1930’s to the late 1950’s early 1960’s. I do love fashion before the 30’s, especially Victorian costume, but right now I’m talking about clothes that I wear. I do love the colour and fun of 60’s fashion but it doesn’t really suit my body shape, 70’s fashion is a bit too garish and I’m not a big fan of paisley and some 80’s stuff is okay but I mostly like the 80’s-does-50’s looks from that era so I might as well just be wearing 50’s!
I have so much fun putting together outfits so I did a daytime and evening one for the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s. Enjoy!
