WEST SIDE STORY!!!

My husband and I have a special evening last week-end...

We went to theater!

We are often too lazy to go out on evenings for these kind of activities.

But when I saw more than 6 months ago...

that a famous Broadway musical will be coming in town,

I immadiatly reserved 2 seats.

That musical was WEST SIDE STORY!

The 10 shows planned were sold out in less than one week!

They chose this famous 50's musical to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Luxembourg Grand Theater.

The building is really special!

Freshly restored, but they respected its early 60's modern style.

Look at these huge lights!

That's a pity that most of people don't dress up anymore to go to theater...

But Sylvain and I decided to take out our evening wears!

It's not often that you can wear vintage evening dresses...

I think this 50's lace dress has stayed in my wardrobe unworn for almost 8 years!

That's why I don't buy vintage evening gowns anymore...

It's more easy for guys with their vintage suits!

Love this cream 50's flecked suit.

To speak a bit more about the musical...

that was a great show,

almost 40 dancers from Broadway...

great singers,

scenery and lighting were amazing...

BUT...

we were disapointed with costumes,

it was supposed to take place in the 50's in NYC...

but they were wearing contemporary clothes,

not even a kind of retro style.

Do you often go to theater?

Have you ever seen WEST SIDE STORY?

CHURCH from the 50's...

I must tell you that it's not easy to find a good place for a shooting.

Every time, we want to find a place out of time...

No modern cars or other contemporary parasites!

This time we found this 50's Church.

We often choose churches because it's out of time and well preserved places.

As many battles took place in our area during WWII, there are a lot of modern 50's churches near home!

But it's becoming harder and harder to find nice different places for a photos shoot...

Mainly in winter because nature is so sad with no leaves...

So I tried a new style on that day!

Not sure if it really fitted...

My husband told me that I looked like Miss Piggy...

a pig with a wig...

I'm not used to wear straight hair because mine are naturely frizzy.

I have just received this new skirt from Etsy.

I don't have a lot of these pencil 50's skirts bacause it's hard to find one in my waist and hips size.

I have found recently the perfect stockings...

but it's not stockings... I don't like to wear stockings for everyday wear, I prefer pantyhose... here is how they look full lenght (cute, aren't they?)and where to buy them! They are comfy and warm.

Sylvain wore brown and orange, great combination (even if I don't like orange on me...).

50's flecked wool jacket... he will soon sell a part of his jackets collection some don't fit him perfectly so stay tuned if you are interested!

I really like the colors of his 40's tie!

He often wears the same Watch despite he have many different model... this day he chose this gold 50's one, so elegant.

Sylvain's shoes were his father's ones in the 50's...

familly legacy!

I'm really interested lately with vintage scarves.

I'm trying to find new ways to wear them: on hair (turban, bow) or in neck or on shoulders... many options!

We unfortunatly didn't took a good picture of my jewels 50's set: matching cuff bracelet and horseshoe brooch!

Where do you often take your pictures for your blog?

Have you tips to wear silk scarves and create different styles?
