yesterday i began listing swimsuits.  i know most people in my geographic region are not thinking about swimwear right now.
still, i have a really hot collection of vintage swimwear.  before i could get here and blog about them they began to sell!
i just love swimwear from the 50's and 60's.  that era created swimsuits with such figure flattering shapes. they remind me of pin up photos.
here is the one i posted today which has yet to sell

vintage pink catalina swimsuit


and here are the two that are gone.  i still want to share them.  they were both lined with cotton and polished cotton on the top suit layer.  the orange one is actually much lighter and sunnier than my camera could capture.

peace!

i have been attacking my collection closet and pulling out the fun styles. these are youthful fashion pieces that are not just for the young. 

1970's cute patchwork coat/jacket

sweet as candy

all the girls around here think this is a sweet one. i have been seeing jumpsuits in the department stores http://preview.tinyurl.com/y8brtvy. this one feels a lot like a dress. the lace is shaped like tear drops...

1970's lavender daisy jumpsuit
adorable

the print on this dress is brilliant. a definite indian flavor in the print...hot!! it has little exotic birds and flowers. the orignal design was not for a belt but it does work with a belt.

hot as curry!
