If ever there were two ladies that fit the bill for the new-Between the Wars Era- fashion revival-
it is these two.
Not having officially met them-it is safe to say the Hovey Sisters were Born to it.

When reading blogs there is a familiarity that's established. I know the Hoveys, along with countless others who tune into their Blog pages. Terrifically individualistic describes them both- something I think quite a challenge to achieve today when inundated with books on achieving a certain this or that Personal style.
In other words- for getting your Personal style- here is a road map.
Here's how to get the Look.

ReplyDeletedear, How this reminds me of the clothes my older sisters wore, the ones I paraded around in when they were away. My love of paper dolls also comes to mind and yours too.

The WWII and post eras are absolutely back, as a fashion watcher I am loving it. These selections are just so sophisticated and feminine. I am surprised from the looks at some of the designers, that's a good thing. What a witty, delightful look at fashion, I can see the ladies pictured in all these and from the commentary they agree, even better. A
ReplyDeleteHollister and Porter, It was a lark and you 2 are dolls. I think you should create some fantastical Paper Dolls of you two. Vintage look and some quirky accessories- hats of ram's head, pith helmets, etc.etc. I loved loved paper dolls as B Cushwa, my mother said in her comment. G.
ReplyDeletethank you for the fun.
A, anon. The clothes right now are very hollywood golden years. I am glad to have your compliments. A fun post to put together and so reminiscent of my childhood joys.
