Wine red and violet blue - a popular late 1930's colour combination



Outfit:

Tiny silver brooch early 20th c., might go in my etsy shop if only I could part with it;
Fine knit vintage dress: when I spotted this on line I thought this was from the 60's, now I think it is quite a bit earlier (will show this more in coming posts);
Modern cotton cardigan, I've had this one a few years now and worn it a lot, I love the colour;
1930's leather belt, soft like butter;
Vintage crocheted bag, last year's purchase from ebay ;
Modern comfort :) shoes.

    The colors struck me immediately and makes me want to change the baby blue blouse that I'm wearing to one with a more vivid color :) Inspiring!

    Oh, I didn't expect that positive a reaction, thank you kindly!

    Gracie, I agree knits are the best, they are also very much of a comfort zone for me, a safe and easy way of being dressed, let alone they are comfortable, don't crease, don't fuss and hug both the body and the soul...I guess that's saying I'm a lazy, uninspired dresser stuck in a rut :)

    Baroness, berries are my favorites, perhaps it translates!

    Rosie-Alia, Hey Viv, Hannah: the color of the dress also looks good with a deeper, more muted blue, and with a dark green. Actually this nearly was the green combo, but then I realized it wasn't cold enough for THAT cardigan!... He he, something tells me all has not been seen of this dress :)

    The outfit is lovely!
    It looks like 1940s dress. I don't think it's 1960s but it's possible, of course.
    The purse is cute! Really nice find.
