e These shoes are perfect for the 1930s secretary. Check out page 224, I had two pairs of the Gypsy tie, one in black and the other in white. My aunt stored them away they were in pristine condition when I found them in a closet. The open toe pair above them are beautiful. Alas, I could...

The Vermont Country Store has two button front flannel dresses which definitely are perfect cold weather house dresses. Both styles are plaids. They also have some vintagey cardigans. These pieces really look like something from the thirties.

Lizzie, how high is the heel on the WAC reproduction shoe and is it more block or tapered? Is the leather out of the or do they requiring some breaking in?

Maybe I have been lucky, but the Remix Spectators work for me. The heel is the right height and I like the closed back Aris Allen has a similar shoe even more comfortable. They are really vintage copies. Check out the Trinket by P.W. Minor.The down side is that they only come in black and even...

Not long ago I was talking with a elderly woman who said some nice things about about my vintage outfit. She made an interesting comment about stockings in general. She said that during WWII because of rationing getting stockings was a challenge. She said white cotton socks were usually worn...

Yes indeed, I am also on a quest for pair brown leather oxfords. In the mid 1990's, I purchased a pair of brown kid leather oxfords with a lizard trim on the toe and heel. They had five or six eyelets and tied up high on the foot and about and 1.5 or 1.75 inch heel. I am not sure if they were...

Tatum, Lizzie is spot on about the Coquettes. It is a good shoe. In addition the Coquette, I wear the Trinket by P. W. Minor. http://www.pwminor.com/Products/Detail/?ProductID=16. I like the looks of these shoes they are kind of retro. They look like they are from what I guess to be from...

Best of Comments I have had my share of granny or old school teacher comments. Lsst night, while waiting to go into a movie a couple came up to me and said they were talking about my sense of style. The woman said that I looked as I'd just stepped off the set of the movie Pearl Harbor.

Closed Toe Oxfords and Peep Toe Closed Back Wedge I have a pair of the black velvet closed toe oxfords and a pair of the red and a pair of the black open toe closed back lace up wedges. http://www.dancestore.com/Aris-Allen-Womens-Red-Closed-Back-Wedge/productinfo/161-RD/ When I wear dress up...
