Somehow I missed this particular shoe thread when searching awhile back for vintage-y shoe info :eusa_doh:
I'm seriously considering the Clinic shoes LizzieMaine recommends, but I do sometimes have foot trouble with heels higher than 1 inch. Maybe I'll try the the Pert style with the lower...
So neat to see all these lovely charm bracelets! Inky, your bracelet is such a treasure!
I have a few vintage ones (none from relatives) about which I did a blog post at the beginning of April. A few years ago, I started collecting charms for a Vermont charm bracelet - in honor of the state...
I kept my layer lengths at around 10 or 11 inches (bangs area is 10"). When I leave my hair unset, it looks fine. On the unset days, I might curl the ends under with a curling iron or style it a bit with a blow dryer and round brush after washing. Add a couple side combs or barrettes and you're...
Interesting question... as a teenager (in the late 1970s/early 1980s) and then in college, I was all over the vintage map - ranging from Victorian all the way to the 1960s. On any given day, I might wear a 1920s dropped-waist dress or a 1950s circle skirt or a 1960s hippy-chick outfit complete...
Neat shoes, Inky! I love oxfords too, and I see that there are lots more fabulous ones on the stevemadden.com site - if only they came in wide widths...
Great photos, Amy Jeanne! Love the dresses in the first pic above (and the sensible oxfords the lady on the left is wearing)! Oh, and I'm always up for a frock with gigantic bow... although, I wouldn't want to lunch while wearing it lol
Well, I did it! I tried C-Dot's middy haircut tutorial and I'm thrilled with the results. :) I went with longer lengths for mine (once had a bad experience because I didn't realize just how short 4" actually is).
I have yet to find a hairdresser in the area where I live that ISN'T compelled...
Sure, this isn't as glamorous as the other photos shared here (nor as "wild" as the fabulous dress that shutterbug posted), but my Great-Aunt Helen certainly had a bold style... I just about fell over when I found this late 1950s photo of her wearing a leopard print dress :eek:
Amy Jeanne - Those gravestone portraits are fascinating. I've never seen any in the cemeteries I've visited. They really bring the name on the stone to life, er, well, you know what I mean. Btw, I love the photo of the woman with the little banjo and the poofy bob!
Cherry Lips - Yes! I'm with...
What a terrific thread! I've managed to spend way too much time this morning looking at all these wonderful photos. lol Thank you all for sharing them!
I've got more "everyday people" pics, but not enough time to post more than one at the moment. Here's my maternal grandmother (front center)...
Ooh, this is timely thread for me! I've been doing the blonde thing for several years now. I originally planned to stop dying and embrace my increasing greyness. But I just can't do it ;)
I'm thinking, now, of changing to a darker shade - maybe back to my natural medium ash brown, or, maybe...
I'm not exactly new here - formerly lurked a great deal, then apparently fell of the face of the earth lol. Going to try to be a bit more active this time out. :D
