A Picture For Inspiration!

This picture of Marilyn Monroe for some reason really intrigues me. Her look was genuine, this is seen especially in this picture where there was no need for any make up or touch ups…so different from what the current bimbo ‘wanna be Monroes’ seem to express with their attempts. This picture to me represents a happy go lucky point of view. It seems to be taken at such a wonderful time, with a nice summer day where she doesn't have to try to look priceless but somehow achieves the look anyways.

Vintage Vogue

Vintage is a style which tends to teeter-totter between being old lady and being an irreplacable classic, While shopping at a vintage store in uptown this past winter my best friend was about to buy the most adorable vintage floral shirt--but before she slid her card looked at me and said "i think my grandma would wear this..." it was then that the counter clerk said...thats the best part about it, you can wear these clothes which you will probably still wear as a grandma and you can bet that your grandchildren will be asking the same question! That's when the circle of style literally hit me like a ton of bricks...fashion really does circulate, yes there is such a thing as something that will never come back into style--and in most cases...thank god for that, but in other cases the circulation of classics is a really interesting concept to fashion. In order to add credibility to my thought pattern, i have posted some delectible vintage fashion pictures!! enjoy!
