    Ladies suits

    I love this suit, too. The seams give it an unusual flair. Note the peplum on the back of the jacket--a popular feature of 40s suits.

    Hair cuts

    That's who I thought it was at first. Nice haircut.

    Who Reminds You of Which Era?

    Do some people (celebs or FLers you are friends with or admire) remind you of certain eras? If so, why? At our Colorado get-together, our group reminded the restaurant hostess of the 1920s (scroll down the link for a photo).

    Marty's Clothing Combinations.

    So much for the old "two plain and one fancy." You can mix patterns--but it takes skill.

    Why Do You "Dress Up"?

    I still live a few blocks from Mr. Wrong. I don't want him to see me and think, "I'm well rid of her."

    Career Opportunity, need help!

    Yes. Get as much money as you can from the start.

    Career Opportunity, need help!

    Maybe it would be easier to approach this from another angle. Figure out how much higher the cost of living is in LA vs. where you live now. Multiply your current wages by that factor.

    Marty's Clothing Combinations.

    Maybe you could add it to Historically Great Threads in the OB for inspiration. I'd do it, but others here know far more about men's suits than I so.

    Marty's Clothing Combinations.

    Wow! I love the combinations, especially the white tie/handkerchief combination in the first post. :eusa_clap

    Ladies suits

    Also a fairly high neckline. And high armholes! :rolleyes: Many of them had a lot of piping, pockets and other details missing in today's androgenous black pantsuits.

    Why Do You "Dress Up"?

    I've dressed up mostly for work and wear casual but nice-looking clothes (including jeans) everwhere else except dances.

    The Cleaning Clothes (vintage or other) Thread

    Thanks for all the good advice, everyone. I have a wool suit that has a few small spots on it; maybe a solution of Biz or lye soap (Fels Naptha?) would work. (Comments welcome.) As for ironing, I steam everything. My Whirlpool Fabric Freshener gave up the ghost; since then, I've just been...

    Baking Soda and Hair Washing!

    I put a spoonful of baking soda in my shampoo once in a while to get all the styling product gunk out of my hair. Baking soda can be used to clean many things.

    Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

    My employer does some type of personality test. Pretty much all accountants fit a certain type, and just about everyone they've fired fits a different type. (By the way, I think my employer is great.:) This makes me think of a movie where Audrey Hepburn played a woman who was trying to be a...

    Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

    I think I got the same thing when I took those tests. I think it had to do with how I was feeling on a particular day. There are some of these tests on the Web that are free.

    The Women of the Robie House (The Arts & Crafts Movement)

    Thanks for posting this--I love the Arts and Crafts style. I especially like that they would put windows where we'd probably just stick a fluorescent light. :o

    What has happened to society?

    The same discussion came up when I was in the military. You had to show respect for your superiors. Whether you felt respect was your own business.

    Home Fragrances

    If my house smells bad, it's usually because I need to clean the refrigerator. Otherwise, I either open a window or burn some incense. However, my favorite dance place smells of coffee. Mmm.
