A Visit to the 1940's - Fashion

This week I'm focusing on the fashion of the early 1900's, specifically the 1940's.  This is the time that my grandparents would have been around the ages of 20 to maybe 35 years of age.  I've decided to take a "visit" to one of the decades of their youth.

Let's take a brief fashion photo tour of the 1940's.  These clothes were what  people were wearing about 60 years ago...

Time sure does fly.  One 82 year old woman told me that it didn't seem that long ago when she was a young woman, and she's surprised at how quickly the decades have passed.  I'm starting to understand...

Not Your Ordinary Ladies' Suits

This month of September is hat month (which I found out accidentally last September).  I was surfing the net to find unique hats and was sidetracked when I found a website containing elaborate hats and beautiful ladies' suits.  Well, the suits do have matching hats, so I fulfilled my purpose today (but I'll fully focus on hats the end of this week).  These suits I typically see worn by women attending certain denomination churches.  They could also be worn for Easter, I guess, and weddings.  Do you think that these suits, minus the hats, could ever be worn for business purposes?   I'm still thinking about that one....

All these beautiful suits were found on the Make Me Over Fashions and Designs website which is www.catbotsource.net.  I can see the pink, the "fourth of July" (it could be if white was included) and the solid purple suits being worn in a business office.   Why shouldn't color be connected to professionalism?  Isn't it time for change?  Lol....  Don't wear the hat to the office, though...

Take notice of the hats.  Big, elaborate, and attention-grabbing.  And here is one more hat to get you ready for hat month.
