Hey y'all!
Reading the title of this post, and hopefully knowing me at least a little by now, this should come as no surprise:
Nor this:
And really, probably not even this:
But really, the actual fashion I wish was still in style is more like this:
And this:
And this:
And definitely, this:
... It's possible that I was born out of my own time. Actually, I'm pretty sure that's exactly what happened.
I LOVE these! I went the gif angle too but only have one. I think you absolutely rock and I'm so happy you're participating in this because I love your blog. For real. (Also, Firefly 4 LYFE!)
ReplyDeleteYour gif was made of groovyjuice and your post was hilarious. You are one of my new favorite blog reads :) S'truth!
DeleteLove it! Love those old styles so, so much. Everything was just so much more elegant.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Not just the clothes, either.
DeleteOh, I think Cyd Charisse had such amazing style. Love these.
ReplyDeleteShe absolutely did... and those LEGS! I die.
DeleteI very much love the 20s styles. So fancy. I wonder if I'd have enjoyed it that much if I'd lived back then, or if I would have pined for something older!
ReplyDeleteLOL It's like that movie Midnight in Paris. I do the same thing.
DeleteYou had me at hello. well.. technically it's the Quantum Leap reference because you are the only other soul that has ever mentioned it and that rocks.
ReplyDeleteThere was a time when my love for QL could not be surpassed. Then along came Joss Whedon.
DeleteSo many things in this list I agree with! Though I really wish men dressed "up". I think women still have a wide range of clothing types, but I feel like guys, or at least the ones I know, either are jeans or shorts, but rarely tend to "dress up" on a somewhat regular basis.
ReplyDeleteI think its indicative of both sexes to an extent. I know a LOT of women who live in jeans and/or yoga pants and hardly ever put on a dress. Actually, I may be one of them? Eek!
DeleteThank You for the Firefly reference (Brown Coats Forever!) and also Buffy (still miss her terribly!). I like those wonderful hats that women wore. And the fedoras that men used to wear. About ten years ago, at a restaurant with my husband and mother-in-law (who grew up during the Depression), a tall, slim, elderly man walked in with, apparently, his wife. He wore a nice summer suit and a fedora, and looked so casually elegant. My m-i-l and I looked at each other and smiled, our eyes twinkling. It was a treat to see that.
ReplyDeleteI love hats! Unfortunately my head is just not suited to them, at all. It is a constant source of sadness for me.
DeleteI agree with everything you posted! I too was born in the wrong decade.
ReplyDeleteWe're like sisters.
