Vintage crisp and chic look from the 70's

This photo is from 1971 magazine. I love how super chic this look is. I must copy the look, stat! I have the gloves, checkered dress coat and fedora. I can't wait to share the final look!

I love that this coat dress is neatly defined in blocked checks. Wear it belted or not..great look to wear almost anyplace anyday.

Keep rockin' vintage wear!

vintage umbrella

I just love this sweet multi-colored(but predominantly pink) umbrella; it is my favourite. It has a great an sturdy bakelite/lucite handle.  I love the design that looks like ferns crawling out of the umbrella.  I believe this type of umbrella is from the 1940s.  I found this from an estate sale and the lady kept everything.  She even has letters from as far back a 1890's!  They were selling it and I have to take it with me. 

I wish they still  make umbrellas such as this.  Nowadays, It's all plastic and low-quality material.  That is why i'm forever going to be a fan of vintage items.
