Channelling Mid-Century Style or A Brooch In The Hand


LA fashion blogger Deja Pseu at her Une Femme D'un Certain Age blog wrote a lovely post on channelling
Mid-Century...in a good way...you know what I mean....by adding some Mid-Century elements to your look.  She also discusses some of the drawbacks of that period which most of you are waaay too young to remember, such as a whole world of careers that were not open to women.
Luckily, female Trads like me can appreciate the style of the Mid-Century and still be thankful to have come of age after feminism opened many of the doors that were closed to my mother.
Well, back to the fashion angle.  Pseu points out some of the elements of this style that you can incorporate into your look including wearing vintage pearl brooches.  She chose these three from Beladora2.com and I thought that since the photos from the website don't always show the scale of the jewelry, that I would give you another look.
Anyhoo...her post is great so go take a gander.
Hint:  we will see more of this look coming up in Fall fashion magazines because someone has been sending this type of jewelry to fashion shoots...
PS:  guess who, at this very moment, is provinding jewelry for one of the Mad Men stars for tonight's Mad Men premier...

Six Random Things

I've been tagged by Une Femme d'un Certain Age to write six random things about myself.
So...Voila

1. I love football movies from Rudi to Remember the Titans to On Any Given Sunday.

2. My nickname as a child was Sissy...and I hated it.

3. I'd like to go to Bora Bora and Australia.

4. If I could learn any particular dance it would be the polka because bopping up and down in a frilly skirted outfit and drinking beer looks like fun to me.

5. If I had a gazillion dollars I would buy the film rights to the books "Journey Into the Whirlwind" and "Within the Whirlwind" by Eugenia Semenova Ginzburg and hire Stephen Spielberg to produce the movie.

6. When I was a sophomore in college I was the ta for calculus.

Thanks Deja for the tag. Kristopher and Mary....you're it!
