Day 4- The 1950's!

I love the 50's. I mean, what a great time for a caucasian male! If you were African American or Female, well.... But still! I mean, I LOVE Lucy

And, I mean, wasn't Grease just the greatest? Tight pants and all!

And my favourite part of the 50's...

THE DOCTOR!!!!! 1953! And I like Rose's skirt. 

Any way, now for the actual post. 

{The inspiration}

50's plaid! This may be a bit extreme, but I love the swishy skirt and white blouse. Plus the vintage magazine cover is so me. My kitchen is decorated in vintage vinyl covers and old Nat Geos. Anyway, my mom was in high school in the 70's, and according to the 20 year rule I should be able to find something 50's in her closet...

{the interpretation} 

I paired a white peter pan collared shirt with a full plaid skirt. The skirt is spot on, but I with the blouse was a bit more... blouse-y, I guess. Other than that, I think I did pretty well. (the lips in the corner are a shout out to Lucy's red lipstick, see above). Definitely the best yet.

Day 3- 1940's

The Inspiration-

I love these coats. They are simple, and the pleats in the skirt seem very classy. Okay, the real reason I like them is that they remind me of the (10th) doctor's trench coat. 3 more days guys! But they are very classy and very 40's.

The Interpretation-

We now have colour film! I chose a light blue coat with, yes, SHOULDER PADS, and a sharp collar. I added a dark belt. I curled my hair and added a head scarf. Also, I think my quilt is kinda 40's. Anyway, hopefully next week shouldn't be 40's again. 

The notes:

I think this is the best one I've done so far. The main miss was the pleats and double breasted buttons. However, the collar and the pockets are very perfect.

Day 2- 1930's

The Inspiration-

I took inspiration from the dress on the left. I loved the slightly puffed sleeves and button front, and somehow the collar makes it seem a bit stronger. I couldn't find anything quite like this, but I found a similar dress in a shorter style.

The interpretation

I used a sepia filter, but the dress is a blue denim. It has  the same button up style and collar, but the belt is different and the dress is shorter. I left my hair straight. 

The Notes-

I could have done better on this one, but the style is still similar. I really wish I could have found a longer dress, or something with pleats. I think one of the quintessential items of the great depression area fashion was the floral print, but after finding this simplicity pattern, I couldn't help myself.

Cheers,

Sofie
