oldies but goldies




When I was photographed by We are City, the colours were strongly revised, so that my beloved 1950s jacket looked teal. But it is green, one of my favorite colours: a perfect cold dark forest green. 

This little numer is my oldest vintage treasure, because I bought is twelve years ago for 10 Deutschmarks on a fleamarket, when I started with that "40s/50s-thing" and wear it every year with pleasure.

I treated it with some expensive handcarved buttons from this traditional shop in Berlin. BTW, I had to move these buttons some times since then, to still fit in, but that is another issue...

And when we talk about oldies, here is another goldie: the first hat in my collection. Isn´t he perfect for autumn?



hat: 1950s vintage - from a hat collector
mother of pearl clip ons: 1950s vintage - present from honey
bakelite hatpin: 1950s vintage - fleamarket
red leather gloves:  Röckl

Not to forget my good old grey-brown 1980s nylon stockings with the funny seams, which never had a ladder. Do you have such goldies, too?

  7. ... danke für deinen kommentar. nee, athrose ist es leider(!) nicht, es ist noch immer das knöchelchen im vorderfuß, dass mich 4 monate dieses jahres auf krücken gestellt hat. ermüdungsbruch - vielleicht durch absätze - vielleicht auch nicht. ich bin jetzt 4 monate ohne krücken aber schmerzfrei ist was anderes. frust!
