A second pair of 1970s campus boots has struck the shoe rack. Suede and shearling this time, and the laces, oh the laces...😭😭

Blessed be the $20 boot gods!

I realize i a bit disheveled. I’m exhausted and didn’t feel like adding petticoat and makeup. But after some good education and feedback, I went today to find these loafers instead of the wingtips I had ordered from Amazon (which are delayed and I was able to cancel, as they now wouldn’t arrive in time anyhow!)

I hadn’t considered them since I don’t prefer the look. But with the rest of the outfit, I like them much more. I suppose that’s a good lesson to me.

I also had received comments that my skirt might be more alpine than sockhop. So, photo 2 is my other circle skirt , in case that’s better.

I believe I mentioned this in my last post, but I do also have a “poodle costume” (literally from a costume shop years ago). I don’t have saddle shoes, and I’d prefer to stand out a bit from everyone wearing the same modern costume; however it is an option. I would have to dig out out of my attic

Not sure on the exact ID on these but pretty certain they’re 60s navy uniforms in near mint condition. All from the same person although the tops have multiple ids on them eluding to uniforms being reused to multiple soldiers on different missions. Got all of this for $20. Love the fit on the pants.

Found this blue wool Carolina Herrera coat while thrifting recently. I love it! It’s currently 100* F where I live… anxiously awaiting autumn so I can wear it in public for once 😂🍂

It’s from the 1980’s, but the style feels older I just can’t place exactly what decade. Reminds you a bit of Rebecca Rubin’s red coat, no? Any better opinions, please share!

I have an 80’s shearling coat from uruguay. Its lambskin and I believe i have to «rehydrate» it. Anyone know what finish this looks like? And would saphire creme delicate be good?

I’m curious if there are people who know more about TGL than what is easily searched. I came across an amazing collection in Porto, but have never seen such a wide array of styles and patterns. In the USA it’s nearly impossible to find any TGL Stockholm pieces, from what I can find. I know they were only in production for several years (RIP)

I would love to see other peoples’ TGL pieces. I’m very interested of creating a catalog/document of as many patterns as I can.

Truly just curious what is out there and find so much delight in every piece of clothing. Thank you for humoring my request!
