Today the challenge is to dress like your favorite era!
My outfit is somewhere between the 1940's, 50's, and 60's. the skirt style is more 60's, as well as my hair, but I was leaning toward the 40's as my favorite clothing era. Also, I'm not wearing any nylons (pantyhose) so that is closer to the 1940's since many women had to go barelegged in the early 40's because of war restrictions!
But anyway. I love all three of those eras, and so my outfit is a combo of all of them.
(The first one the wind was blowing my hair, hence the funny look on my face!)
Skirt (
Kohl's), Sweater (
Borrowed from Mom), Brown Shirt (
Kohl's), Pumps (
Kohl's), Necklace (
Vintage - belonged to my Great Grandma!), Earrings (
Borrowed from Mom), Gloves (
Vintage- belonged to my Great Grandma), Makeup (
From Everyday Minerals, Claire's, and Clinique)
I'm pretty excited I got to incorporate vintage things that belonged to my great grandmother into the outfit. I don't know for sure what era the gloves are from, but I think the necklace is from the 40's or 50's maybe. She was born in 1915, and lived till July 2000.
