Aloha, I was lucky and it stayed cool enough last night for me to wear my "New Look" mid-'50's Lilli Ann jacket to opening night of Hawaii Opera Theatre's production of "Manon Lescaut." I wore my Ere Nouvelle hat. I am wearing an early '40's unsigned Marcel Boucher brooch and period Art Deco costume bracelet and ring. The Charel Retro style earrings are early '50's. I got a gazillion compliments on the hat. I was the only one in the audience wearing a hat! (It would have been fun to wear gloves - LOL!) It is such fun to wear vintage! Just had to share!!! Linn
Thanks or as we say in Hawaii "Mahalo"! I'm very involved in opera here and have lots of events to go to plus two more productions so I have the perfect opportunity to wear vintage. I think gloves would be pushing it (it is Honolulu) but I had a great time with the hat! Does VFG have any organized get-togethers? I belong to VFCJ and we have Mini's in various places across the country and a convention bi-annually in Providence. That's the perfect place to wear vintage although the emphasis is on vintage costume jewelry. I can wear my gloves there - LOL. (But of course I'll have to remove them to show off the jewels. Aloha, Linn
Linn, you're supposed to have sets of jewels--rings and bracelets--that fit OVER the glove....a perfect excuse to buy more!
You look smashing, Linn! I'm not surprised you got a ton of compliments on the hat--not only is it a gem, but it's just perfect with this outfit!
Linn, you look absolutely stunning~ you radiate how much you love the look, in turn enhancing the look~ Oh, you lucky girl!
