Great 1940's Fashions at Hip Fashion Stylist Vintage on Etsy

Today I listed a couple of great 1940's fashions in my vintage boutique on etsy at http://www.etsy.com/shop/hipfashionstylist.  I especially love this awesome three piece suit with a matching fur trimmed shawl/cape.  It's in a beautiful golden yellow lightweight wool.  And it's almost like new!  The olive green shirtwaist dress with the chevron stripes has a World War II look.  Check them out!



This photo is most representative of the true color.

While working on a recent 1940's inspired photo shoot, I ran acroos this photo of film actress Hedy Lamarr and it made me think of my own mom and her beautiful sense of style.  So I decided to post a few old family photos for you to enjoy.  Check out the great clothes!
