It's a fantastic way to see great vintage style in its original context on everyday people. I've learned so much from seeing those photos.

I definitely love the color and the shoulder details; but then again, I have been discovering an affinity I have for strong shoulder lines lately. The one thing that bothers me though is her hair. Not the color or bangs (which darnit, I'm coveting!), but the pony tail. It just seems to be getting in the way of the shoulder bows! That is one of my pet peeves though; if you have a striking/structural neckline or shoulder, don't clutter it with hair!<br /><br />I'm enjoying this new feature, btw. I'm not usually into what goes on in the wide world of red carpets, so seeing some of the vintage influence that shows up will be fun. :)<br />♥ CaseyCaseyhttp://elegantmusings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-23144307359894629402011-04-04T16:30:43.286-04:002011-04-04T16:30:43.286-04:00I agree, there is a little too much bow-action on ...I agree, there is a little too much bow-action on that dress.
