What are you wearing today??

[chanteuseCarey]

Yes, these are the Trafalgar ones. We recently saw a pair at a show with the Romeo and Juliet design- shoulda snagged 'em when we had the chance...

Very nice! I also like your husband's bold striped shirt and Trafalgar Limited Edition (?) braces.

Thanks to everyone for their comments!

Yes, it was a really wonderful way as a family to spend an holiday afternoon. We already had the clothes and hats, so that was easy!

There were many Art Deco Society and BAWHMRS folks that came, so we had the opportunity to visit with them. Great talking corsets, hats and hair with the gals, and vintage clothes with the guys! All the men wear gorgeous vintage outfits, and they love to talk clothes- very cool! During the mens' fashion contest (best dressed gentleman)- three of the contestants flashed their fancy patterned socks and their sock garters! Too funny...

I've got more pics of course that I'm in the process of cropping and resizing. When done and uploaded to my Picture Trail, I'll post more pics in the Events section.

The day started out cooler than it's been, so I wore this today.

Double breasted suit
Vintage Radiac collar
My favourite Tootal tie
Lee lightweight fedora
New Clarks leather soled shoes

 

[Mary]

You're so handsome!
Makes me want to sew some white linen trousers. Would you tell me what kind of linen I should look for? The fabric looks smooth and not seethrough, which is the opposite of what I find here.

Chartreuse Carey, I'm very fond of your parasols,do you happen to know somewhere to get hold of one?

Thought I'd post share some photos of me. I want to get a good habit like you. Photos are not from today cause today's a sixties day. Waring a sixties turquise dress with matching earings.

Next time I'll get purses and jackets in the pictures so I actually get an outfit in the picture. And maybe less of my mess!

Before a night out.

[Fleur De Guerre]

Everyone looks amazing, but especially these!

Nothing really new here, but whatever.

And Mary you look wonderful too! Love this!

 

[Fleur De Guerre]

I just came back from a 40s/50s weekender, and thought I'd share (ie outrageously show off) my outfits! Well I thought you guys would appreciate them anyway.

Friday day and night:

Saturday day & night:

And Sunday day & night!

(This is actually a playsuit and skirt, see here for playsuit view!)

Plus a bonus dancing lesson shot!

Here I am in a picture that appeared in today's (July 5th) San Francisco Chronicle!

cC,

Marvelous outfit and fantastic family photo! However I think that your husband needs a camera that is a little more flash powder and a little less digital to be perfect!

Cheers

Today's outfit

Elsewhere on the Fedora Lounge is a thread all about "man purses"

The two I have are rather modern looking Swiss Army "Field Packs" so I didn't bother posting to it. However the other day at Target I saw this larger canvas looking messenger bag on clearance for $15 and thought it would go well with my new military styled jacket.

Cheers

By the by, I found this earlier post on this thread from Hemingway Jones rather prophetic:

I was thinking that this thread could go on forever.

Especially considering he wrote that 3 1/2 years ago! lol

Cheers

I like that jacket. Where'd you get it?

 

[Quigley Brown]

Very cool. I may be moving back to Iowa in the near future....you'll have to beat me to the thrift store.

FL member (our daughter)-her outfit on July 4th

Here is a pic I took of our sweet Sarah (she just turned 15yo) at the Pardee House picnic. She is wearing my quasi- victorian/vintage-inspired Jessica McClintock dress (from 1992).

Here's the link to my thread in Events with more pics from this event. The Art Deco Society folks that attended sure turned out fabulously dressed for this!

Coming from you that is a big compliment

It, like my safari jacket, is a one off protype from a company called Empire Canvas Works

http://www.empirecanvasworks.com/entry page.htm

They make custom winter / outdoor apparel in traditional canvas and oilskin.

Cheers

You have absolutely made my day

 

[SayCici]

Oh gosh Fleur! You look incredible in every shot but my mouth especially gaped at this one! Did you make this? I love the red and white ensemble as well.

 

[Spitfire]

@ Fleur - You take my breath away!:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

 

[Shangas]

Here I am in a picture that appeared in today's (July 5th) San Francisco Chronicle! I wearing my big hat, shown here with husband Chuck and our now 15yo daughter Sarah . Our almost 13yo son Daniel must have been busy turning the handle on an ice cream maker and sadly is not in this picture. A really fun afternoon we spent there as a family.

That is one of the greatest photos ever!! You look like such a happy family.

Mind if I ask what your younger gentleman was wearing on the day?

 

[chanteuseCarey]

Thank you Shangas! Our son is almost 13 now, and vintage is practically impossible to find for him... So we do vintage-inspired. For this event he wore a pair of dress trousers that had gotten short and I made into knickers to wear as an elf for the California Pops Orchestra Xmas Concert. Worn with a pair of my knee high socks, a blue and white striped dress shirt and a small golf cap (I need to find him a newsboy cap to be more period correct), dark dress shoes. He loves to wear dress clothes (and has two tuxedos already too) and is a Fred Astaire wannabe. He says he wants socks garters and an Art Deco wardrobe. No kidding.

Here is a picture of him taken with his sister playing badminton

and participating in the "Best Dressed Gentlemen" contest

That is one of the greatest photos ever!! You look like such a happy family.
