2017 is all about new beginnings and for many it means refreshing their wardrobe. I would LOVE to do an add-on to my vintage collection this year (not restart) but due to current situations in my life and space I’m all about the virtual window shopping instead. So thank you Pinterest for allowing me to fill up my “closet” with so many fantastic vintage goodies.
Lets go shopping in my virtual closet friends!

1940s Rayon Dress. This would be marvelous on the dance floor. Who ever now owns it, is one lucky gal.
1940’s Green Emerald Swing Dress dream.
As I continue to look for a new job, I’m always thinking about what my first day, future new jobs clothing would look like. This Dorothy O’Hara 1940’s wool suit would be so perfect and make quite a statement. Don’t you agree?
One of my dream trips with my husband is to rent a camper in Scotland and drive around to the castles and distillery’s for several weeks. This 40’s red plaid wool swing coat and hat would be so amazing for this trip!
When one needs a gown for a special function, you can’t go wrong wearing a 1950’s Suzy Perette Dress.
Who is not a fan of adorable cotton 1950’s dresses? They are perfect for any occasion and come in all figure flattering styles.
This is a Liz dress…right here. I can see it on me already, I can see where I would wear it and how I would wear my hair. Now someone else owns this, but I don’t think that should stop me from dreaming about one day owning this early 1940’s day dress.
Like most of the Vintage community, I have a love for the designer Jonathan Logan and his 1950’s designs. What a great colour combination, and look at those pockets!
Art Deco influence meets 1940’s classic styling.
Are you a card playing, Vegas loving gal? Then this cute kitschy 1940’s dress would be perfect for you. I love Vegas, just terrible at cards.
And that is a peak into my virtual closet for this month. If you like what you see more 1920s-1960s fashions check out my Pinterest Board, ‘Vintage Womens Fashions‘. It’s DREAMY!

There all stunning but I have long admired that gold dress
The Gold dress is a true winner in the vintage dress world 🙂
Oh Liz. You certainly have great taste. I know I would be thrilled to own any of your virtual picks. But I especially love the 40s dresses and that killer Dorothy O Hara suit!
As far as designers, that’s a tough one as there are so many I love. But I think I wouldn’t mind having one of Elsa Shiaparelli’s fabulous printed dresses from the 1930s.
Thanks so much! Great choice with Shiaparelli, fantastic designer ESPECIALLY those 30’s dresses. Drool 🙂
You do indeed have great taste! I don’t think I have any particular designer obsessions but a really good 40s dress is on my “one day” list. I had a hard time resisting a hat-box print one on Instagram recently!
Love the plaid outfit and the holiday plans to go with it! I think I would get a Norman Hartnell dress from I could, he made such beautiful things.
Good choice on the Norman Hartnell dress, you would look divine in any of the designs 🙂
