ReplyDeleteAlways so elegant! I love all of these outfits and am also very envious of the stunning scenery that surrounds you. So wonderful.
ReplyDeleteAs I was scrolling through the snaps I kept thinking to myself, "Oh, that one is my favorite.", "no THAT one is my favorite." , "no, that one is my FAVORITE", and so on and so forth until the end. I still can't pick which one is my actual favorite because I love them all!
ReplyDeleteThanks doll,

The beach pajamas have got to be my favorite ;) Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteYou have the most amazing collection of 30s clothes ever, I swear 30s is harder to find than some other eras (maybe depression wrecked clothes?!) Or maybe it's because you own them all! haha
ReplyDeleteA beautiful retrospective.
