Blue checked shoes

What was the well-dressed woman wearing in April, 1951?  Take your pick of the beautiful shades of coral pink, navy blue, green and beige or gray and violet.

Here are a few of the ads I got listed yesterday, both from February 1947 Vogue UK.  I just love the illustrations of these elegant suits!

I'd wear every single one of these gorgeous suits!  Of course, I'd either need to shed a FEW pounds to have a waist small enough to do them justice or buy a super-duper waist nipping girdle...

Pink for your Pinkies

Last night I ran across not ONE, but THREE ads for pink gloves in a 1947 UK Vogue magazine that are now listed in the shop.  I guess PINK was the "in" color for gloves that year! How could you ever be in a bad mood wearing any one of these beautiful pink beauties?

Looking at these gloves reminds me of being five or six years old, and rummaging through the chest of drawers where my mom kept her myriad pairs of gloves.  All the different colors and lengths.  What a treat!
