I am itching for something a tad more glamorous in my summer wardrobe. I think I'll take a page from the glorious book of the 1950s. Those gals could DRESS! I wish people dressed up more in this day and age.
Those airy, breezy lanterns never go out of style. Are they really THAT happy, or is it the cute boys climbing in trees and all that bubbly?
"John-William, let's sail away to Monaco! I brought that bikini you like! Just help me carry my sixteen pieces of matched luggage first." Remember when people used to dress UP to travel? Now, you're stuck on a plane next to some sweaty person in sweats and flip-flops.
Now, THAT'S better than low-rise jeans, now isn't it?
And for your favorite lush.....Givenchy! Complete with wine glass and casually tossed-about beads. I like the big 'leaf' side table.
What to wear to all those graduation ceremonies? This, of course. Add a tassel that matches the graduate's school colors.
Oh, my! I want that little plaid swimsuit so much it hurts. Those shaggy elfin caps are adorable, too. Holy cow---is that Harry Potter's Golden Egg? Are they EATING it???
Simply Adorable. You can't see them, but this comes with matching polka dot bloomers. Don't you love how they all drank like fish and smoked like chimneys in the fifties? But still managed to look so glamorous. Where are there cigarette burns and wine stains?
Ok, this verges on early sixties, so I'll stop here. Vogue chides women for not wearing larger hats with sleeveless ensembles. They say that "...a small hat made one look like a sightseer." Could there BE a more scathing indictment?
So cool and elegant. Do you think they were really that glamorous all the time? It would be nice to dream about, eh?
