The purse over my shoulder is another more-or-less inherited item from my mother/grandmother. I thought it matched the dress well. And the belt came with the dress.

Vintage love.
I've been re-organizing my closet and came across this dress that I wore for a sixth grade play. It was my grandmother's at one point during the 40's, making it a great custume to wear for the historical period of the play, WWII. Then, the dress came down to my ankles and I nearly tripped over it. Plus my figure was not nearly as flattering as it is when I put it on, now. I took a few pictures and had fun editing them each differently.

That's cool! I love inherited things and hand-me-downs (my wardrobe thrives of hand-me -downs, actually).
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother has this really awesome old radio kind of thing from the 70s, and it works great. She says she'll give it to me.
I was looking through my mom's old photographs, and I wish she'd had kept the clothes she was wearing in the photos. There's one in which she has on a muti-colored hat. It's so hip and cool! :D
Lovely photographs. :)
I feel like I stepped back in time! Woah! You look like a picturesque war era beauty.
ReplyDeleteI am digging the lighting, fence, belt, dress, everything! These photos are lovely.
This makes me want to go to Minnesota and dig through my grandmother's things and see what treasures I could find. This is weird but my grandma had this long rainbow night dress (she loves rainbows. everyone always thinks she is an elderly lesbian.) and when I was younger I was obsessed with it. I would steal it and frolick around the house pretending I was a sky dancer (remember those toys?)
Anyways, lovely post!
That looks really nice on you. It's so cool that it's your grandmother's! I actually just inherited a plaid jacket from my great-grandmother that I suppose I ought to wear one of these days...
ReplyDeleteThat dress is awesome! It looks great on you.
ReplyDeleteI think it's really cool that that was your grandmother's! and I love how you include the fact that it used to come to your ankles, so cute!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I tagged you (:
