Yes, I completely agree that the fashion of yesteryear was so much more elegant than today's clothing. I LOVE the old classic movies as well and to see them dressed so elegantly is such a treat indeed! I wish more people would or could wear vintage clothing. People today dress very, very casually and sloppily all too often. <br /><br />I have a pair of 50's cat-eye sunglasses that I enjoy wearing in the summertime, but don't have any vintage clothing yet. I love all the classic cars and yours are wonderful! It's also enjoyable to watch all the old classic TV shows on YouTube or DVD as well! I am a housewife and stay-at-home mom and also a homeschooling mother, so I could wear vintage more often - house dresses! :) I also enjoy using the vintage schoolbooks that have been reprinted as well - there is quite a market for them now with homeschooling families.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing all your travels! Your husband is so handsome, too, with all his outfits! My husband would also enjoy vintage. He tries to find suits for work but it's hard where we live (USA but small town area). <br /><br />I think your house is also vintage, mid-century! We have a 50's reproduction refrigerator that looks like an "I Love Lucy" fridge! :)Kristanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203434263568099440.post-41520525002539974552014-07-02T10:17:04.358+02:002014-07-02T10:17:04.358+02:00Bon, j'avoue, je suis jalouse là !

Most of them tell us that yesterday fashion was so elegant much more than today clothes. My husband wears vintage all the time, he has his own firm so he can do what he want. I'm a land surveyor so I cannot wear vintage at work because I have to wear pants, security shoes and helmet... but my boss and colleagues know that I'm fully vintage out of work.Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936447176191219940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203434263568099440.post-56734829060812282662014-06-30T16:23:01.877+02:002014-06-30T16:23:01.877+02:00Your dresses are always so incredible and you wear...Your dresses are always so incredible and you wear them soooo well!!! I love your husband's look, too and of course the cars!!! <br /><br />How are you both received wearing vintage???? Do people like it or look at you "funny" and think you're both crazy? Do you only wear vintage in your free time or do you wear it to work? Just curious if you're vintage all the time or just in your free time.<br /><br />Enjoy reading your blog and seeing all your great finds and travels, too!Kristanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203434263568099440.post-53544984653277905812014-06-29T18:20:27.802+02:002014-06-29T18:20:27.802+02:00i can't believe that you were able to find a d...i can't believe that you were able to find a dead stock 40s dress in france ... this piece is absolutely adorabel. the colour and print are so lovely. great find!<br />no, there is not much dead stock stuff around. especialla here in berlin you have to be careful, things are mostly in sad conditions ...Ms. Falconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02131781752240288828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203434263568099440.post-42123823870068094062014-06-29T04:36:48.389+02:002014-06-29T04:36:48.389+02:00You know the 40s also suit you so well.

What a truly fabulous joy it must have been to dig through them, even if there weren't a ton of items in your size. Just being, I find, in the prescience of so much vintage, let alone deadstock items, is always a special honour and treat unto itself.<br /><br />You guys both look sensational as always here!!! I really like how you opted for white hair flowers to compliment the white in your dress' print.

Yo...I just found your blog - and I like it so much! You and your husband look amazing! I wish my husband would dress like that, but then, he is very supportive and understanding, so I can't complain.<br /><br />Wonderful pictures of Alsace. Of course a marvelous trip in such a car! I have been there 3 years ago, but I was pregnant then and it was soooo hot, so I had not much energy to go treasure-hunting on flea markets.<br /><br />I so love your dress, that's amazing! I'm from Switzerland, and I can't find vintage clothes from the 40s/50s, not to speak of dead-stock items. It's really sad, but I do buy some stuff on Ebay or Etsy, and fortunately I can sew, so I am able to create my own vintage wardrobe. (That's where my husband enters the plan, he has to live with piles of fabric and patterns...)<br /><br />I will definitely come back often and get lots of inspiration!<br /><br />Warm regards from sunny Switzerland, Doris aka Mrs. ButtonMrs. Doris Buttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04839503834598871835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203434263568099440.post-91851596605203591222014-06-27T07:16:06.974+02:002014-06-27T07:16:06.974+02:00I love your dress--what an amazing find!

I don't find a lot of deadstock where I live, but every once in awhile will come across a great item.<br /><br />I'm actually traveling to France next month for a band tour--we'll be playing in Cahors and La Rochelle but will be trying to see some of the sights on our days off. I'd love to hear your recommendations for places to visit/shops to check out, or meet up with you and your husband if we'll be near your area!Jitterbugdollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00659563812074455023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203434263568099440.post-42640152484115723242014-06-27T04:17:14.276+02:002014-06-27T04:17:14.276+02:00That dress fits you like a glove - perfect!

I also have a theory that southern Missouri wasn't an area with very many wealthier people back in the day, so there just isn't an abundance of vintage clothing of any kind left around.
