July 27 Get the Look: Doris Day
Doris Day spent her early years in show biz, and quickly became a style and musical icon, movie and TV star, Grammy and Golden Globe winner, and even an Academy Award Nominee. She was known for her vivacious personality, bubbly blonde looks, and "girl next door" style.
In her later years she retired to a quiet life, and has dedicated herself to animal rights through the Doris Day Animal Foundation http://www.ddaf.org/ and the Doris Day Animal League http://www.ddal.org/.
We salute this entertainment icon with a parade of fashions from her heyday, the late 50s through the 60s, so you can get the Doris Day look.

Modeling Irene Lentz fashions designed for the 1960 movie Midnight Lace:

Effervescence! How about polka dots? Dress by Gracette, on eBay:

60s seersucker vest and skirt (the blouse is also available) on eBay:

Pink Alex Colman pants with tags attached, and the pink top by Judy Bond is also listed on eBay. I tried to hit the camera's timer, jump into place and smile, but I missed getting the smile in:

 

[joules]

Mary, that blouse is Doris Day, all the way!

MS ditto, on your crochet lace empire evening dress. Uncanny!

What amazingly darling things, every last one of them here.

 

[Teresas Treasures]

I have two that Doris might have liked:

50s Blush Sequin and Beads Cardigan Sweater, hand done and lined in Silk
