Style Inspiration

I haven't posted an inspiration post in quite awhile, so here are a few things that I'm inspired by right now!


The 1940s Sweater Girl Look

Berets--always classic and flattering


1940s-style denim trousers
I think this pair, by Vivien of Holloway, is adorable! V Vintage is making up a pair for me right now, and I can't wait to wear them on casual days.


And finally, the classic knit suit. This one looks very sharp paired with showstopping hat!

    Berets are so cute. At the park this past weekend I saw a little boy with one on and I thought to myself "aawww cute!". Then his little brother came to play with a beret on as well and I thought to myself "aaawwww, too cute!". Then dadday came along with one on and me thinks "too much!".
    Note to self: There is such a thing as too much "beret" in one family...

    I really need to get some denim trousers just like those! They would be so much more flattering to my figure than store bought jeans.

    Glad you liked these photos--thanks for commenting!

    Vintage Mama, your comment made me think of the "European Vacation" movie, when Chevy Chase buys everyone in the family a beret with their name embroidered on it :-)

    Ms. B, I have a pair of Vivien of Holloway trousers in the regular fabric and they fit perfectly, so I think a denim pair will be nice for casual wear. Have you tried Freddies of Pinewood jeans as well? They make authentic 40s-50s dungarees that are also very nice.

    Love the colorful twosome, I would have purchased that green beret set for sure... sigh.

    I would have been happy with the green or the plum set, Lemondrop Marie--it's such a cute matched outfit!

    Then my work here is done, Laura! I am sure you'll love them--did you go with a denim pair?

    Delightful sources of inspiration! I'm feeling berets a lot this season, too, and would certainly jump at the chance to own a pair of those amazing denim trousers. Thank you for sharing your lovely finds with us!

    Thank you as well for your impute (re: my oddly behaving new hot roller set), I've looked high and low on the instructions and box, but can't seem to see a 1-800 number (or any phone number for that matter), which strikes me a bit strange! Might have to Google the manufacturer and see if that can get me any closer to a number.

    Wishing you a gorgeous Monday & week ahead, sweet dear!
    ♥ Jessica

    I'm glad I inspired you, Laura--you'll have to report back when your pants arrive!

    Thanks for commenting, Jessica! I'd Google the manufacturer to see if you can find a number, just to be on the safe side.
