bubbe style





i couldn't find a particular photo that proves it, but this look was inspired my maternal grandmother. it doesn't really follow, as her fashion heyday would have been the 40s, but there was always an element of casual americana to her style. clear silhouettes and primary colors. the skirt is 60s vintage and the sleeveless snap-front is contemporary; two of the brooches were hers. she probably would have incorporated turquoise jewelry into the outfit. she was feminine without ever being frilly, and sexy for a longer window than most.
