Pink Fashion Love

I love pink and with it being my favorite color I tend to be drawn to clothing that comes in pink.  I try not to overdo it with pink clothing but sometimes I just cannot help myself.

I love these pink clothes.  They are also very feminine which I LOVE!



 These blouses are great for the summer months.







 I love the ruffles in the front.

 Snazzy for the workplace.  I see picture it worn with a nice skirt.




The above coat may look a bit youthful to women 30 and over but I would not think twice about wearing a coat like this. 











I doubt that I will ever be walking around in anything like this but it so lovely.



I am not really that much into jewelry, but I really like these pink rings.


 An apron like this is easy to make yourself.



Yes, I do buy pink fluffy slippers just like these.

1950's and 1960's Fashions

Besides the regency period, I also love the clothes of the mid 20th century.  The 1950's and 1960's were great years for women's (and men's) clothing.  I missed the benefits of the 1950's clothes, but I was just in time for the 1960's fashions.  Well...not the grown up ladies fashions, but little girls also had the most beautiful and feminine clothes to wear.  I remember well wearing crinolines sometimes under some of my dresses.  The 1970's were great years too but by the time I became an adult many of the women's styles that I loved were out of style.  

Here are some of the styles that I was too late for:

  This beautiful evening dress is simply elegant.



I did have a dress similar to this one when I was twelve years old.  It was light pink in color also but it had very short puffed sleeves.   It was very beautiful and I wore the heck out of it.


This is a seersucker shirt dress.






I was born in time to wear dresses like these when I grew up:
 

 I loved wearing halter tops and dresses.

 I loved blouses like this and still do.

 I never get tired of wearing ponchos.








Culottes




Gaucho pants




There were still a lot of pretty feminine clothes available for me to wear in my teens, twenties and up to mid thirties.  The clothes were nothing like that of the 1950's and sixties, but I still loved the clothes that where available to me when I made it adulthood..

Here is a photo of a crinoline.  I remember wearing one once or twice when I was a little girl.  

 This crinoline slip does not look as stiff as the one I experienced wearing.


I am able to find the kind of feminine clothing I love by shopping at the local Talbot's Outlet store.  I loved shopping at Talbot's Outlet.  

I am going to make an effort to find vintage clothing that are reasonably priced.

 

 

Regency Era Undergarments

I am not in favor of bringing back the very restraining corsets that women wore during the 18th and 19th centuries.  They were too restricting.  I much more prefer the trimming undergarments of today.  While they make you look better in your clothing they do not restrict your breathing as corsets from the Victorian times did.  They are also not painful to wear.

Here are some undergarments from the regency period that I would not mind wearing today.

 Some women would probably find these really corny undergarments, but I love it.

 Another regency era corset.  It doesn't seem as restrictive as some I have seen.  I like this one too.

 Short regency era corset.  It looks more like the sports bras of today.
