Classic Fashions Are a Must! Save your budget! Wear Vintage!by Yvonne of Vintage Pretties on Ruby Lane With budgets so tight, we all need to look for ways to save money. To the working woman, clothing is “not an option” for a cutback.

Joan Crawford was one of the biggest stars in Hollywood from the time of her film debut in the silent movies of the 1920s through the 1970s and was well known for both her luminous talent as an actress and iconic style. She was born as Lucille LeSueur on March 23, 1905 or 1906 in San Antonio, Texas and died on May 10, 1977 in New York City. “Lucille LeSuer” began her 45 year film career with a six month contract with MGM studios in January 1925.

Last time your fabric junkie (me) talked about polyester, that much-maligned, often justly, fabric whose use became common about the mid 60s, and really hit stride starting in the early 70s. We showed some classic, upscale examples of designer poly-knit pieces, but today we have some everyday pieces; some designer items that are, shall we say, a bit more “70’s trendy”; and some uses that had been primarily the domain of fabrics such as silk, rayon, acetate, and nylon. 1970’s polyester lent itself incredibly well to the wild prints, bright (some would say “loud”) colors, and outlandish styles of the 70s

Hannah guessed I was wearing blue nail polish with sparkles on top –that’s one tick over on the color wheel from the actual color, which is purple.

In this clip I’m not sure which is better: Anita O-Day’s lovely voice or all the fashionably dressed spectators. One things that stands out in this video is the wide and varied use of accessories, hats in particular. O’Day herself dons a wide brimmed black hat with white feathers, reminiscent in style to that famous hat worn by Audry Hepburn in Breakfast At Tiffany’s
