The 1950s: The gateway era.
In that context, and if they're used to seeing me dress vintage and I've even been kind and patient enough to attempt to give them an overview of the different decades, it would irritate me. Well, it would irritate me if I've never looked like I came off the set of Grease and they assume that's...- Lillemor

Wearing vintage pieces without looking too dated?
I'm finding that this works best for me too except I'm more of a skirt and dress type. I like to be creative with my style and not be tied to any one style or era either. Generally, I go for a late 40s-early 60s casual/sporty look that may not have been appropriate in all contexts or for all...- Lillemor

Emerald City
Ah! Thank you. My husband has blue eyes. His fair rosy complexion and blond hair looks good with green so I encourage it but come to think of it; I often ask him if his eyes have gone greyer over time. I love all eye colors and different shades so it's not an issue, I'm just of a nosy... -
Emerald City
:offtopic: Several blue eyed women have told me they can't wear green. I don't really understand why not but apparently it does something to the appearance of their eyes. Well, if any one color in any shade of that color could contribute to my eyes appearing a different color I'd be all over... -

When vintage becomes ' fashion' ..
While it might initially make it easy to make some cheap updates to my own wardrobe I absolutely hate it in a really childdish way. I don't want to share something that I feel passionately about with people who wonder if I haven't realized that retro style is out of fashion again when the trend...- Lillemor

The 1950s: The gateway era.
Hmm...I always thought it was the other way around with people thinking that the 30s-40s are very go-to and easy to assimilate to various degrees. A lot of women like 20s inspired styles and think the bob is easy to pull off. I think there have been more musical and film productions set in the...- Lillemor

So, do you wear Sunscreen?
I've been admonished by my doctor, doctor on-call, and dermatologist for overprotecting myself. I'm not getting enough UV rays and that's why my skin is suffering terribly and I'm not getting enough D vitamins so I'm also taking supplements for that. I only began to wear spf8 on my face this... -
Glamour? Or Down To Earth Reality
I agree with Bopeep and candy noir: I haven't been to any events and I'm sure I'll completely butcher the vintage look the first many times but when I see photos from events the most memorable to me are the ones where I simply think someone's made an effort to dress authentically for the...- Lillemor

Twin Peaks--20 Years Old This Week!
I've been able to catch up partially on some of the episodes I initially missed on youtube and I found the spin off film on there too. Last Fall I read the transcripts for several of the episodes.:o I didn't save the link. I bought the soundtrack on tape as soon as it came out.lol It's in a...- Lillemor

Do you have vintage kids?
No, my only wish is that they become as nerdy as my husband and I. Anything else regarding lifestyle, tastes and interests are up to them. Like most kids though, I don't think my boys can help be influenced by our interests and hobbies. We're all nerds, that's what we've passed on. Besides...- Lillemor

Tinnitus "Fixes" ?
That's awful, I'm really sorry about that. Mine's tolerable but while fear is unhealthy for tinnitus (or probably anything) I can't help worry about how I'll cope if it permanently gets worse at some time. I thought that with the many varied types of FD members from around the U.S. and the...- Lillemor

Tinnitus "Fixes" ?
I've been gone for a while because I suddenly acquired tinnitus and it was really affecting me to the point of depression. Now I'm sort of coping. Booked myself an ear appt. 4th of May just to see if there's anything to see though I doubt it. I've always been hearing impared, I'm even in...- Lillemor

Vintage Jewelry
I could use at least 10 of those for my growing collection of costume jewelry. Dad just sent me some jj cats and some other pieces of newer and older costume jewelry.- Lillemor

View-Master
I had a late 70s view-master which was of course new when I got it. I'm now sitting with five "new" view-masters my dad sent me. Four of them and the reels are from between 1991-1996. Won't be long before I can call those vintage.;) These are for my boys. Then there's a fifth one in a...- Lillemor

Favorite Non Red Lipstick Shades
I've shocked myself. I've bought a nearly nude lipstick out of curiosity and I really like it on me. Rimmel 100 Dreamy. The small Matas in Gilleleje didn't have Rimmel 700 Nude Delight or 018 Provocative. I just want to try lighter peachy tones that aren't too orange. Coral is still my... -

Super healthy hair, thick, yet sparse hair can take just as long to dry even under a helmet when rolled up. The result is lovely. -
Do ladies really have to dress old & frumpy after a certain age...?
It always winds me up when other women try to discourage a woman over a certain age from having long hair. If she can grow it long, why not?! Who's to say what nice looking long hair is?! No one says long hair has to be blunt cut curtain hair if it doesn't flatter your features or just isn't... -
age-appropriate clothing
I agree. One odd thing I remember about a short 36 hrs. stay in London was a younger man in a very neat brown suit who was running next to a middle aged man in a very neat grey suit. The younger one looked like he was in costume because the suit didn't fit like it was his (or some retailer had...- Lillemor
