Florals, Pastels and Bonnets -Spring Time Perfection!

If there's one thing that vintage fashion is good at (well, there's actually a million things!) it's feminine prints and pastel colours.

Delicate shades were very popular in the 40's, 50's, and 60's which make dresses from these eras ideal for your Spring wardrobe!

We love this time of year, it makes us feel all fresh and energised. It's the positive feel-good vibes you get when you know that warmer weather and sunshine is on it's way. There's no better time to shake of the black and navy tones of winter and break into a rainbow of colour!!!

These adorable pictures show 1950's and 60's outfits, from catalogues and fashion magazines. 
With Easter around the corner we've been inspired to style our own Spring-tastic looks from the Dirty Fabulous vintage collection.

The Allure of Netting

Vintage veiled hats come in many guises from the chic and simple:


To the elaborate and extravagant:




And everything else in between:


There is something endlessly sensual about wearing black net or veiling over the face. It could be the sense of mystery it adds to the wearer. It could be that you feel like your dressing up and playing a part which adds a sense of drama to your outfit. Either way it's an alluring look and I guarantee it'll vamp up any outfit!

How to add a splash of colour to your wardrobe

If you are anything like me you probably have a section in your wardrobe dedicated solely to black!
Even though I'm an avid fan of colour I'll often turn to my old reliable black clothes when either the weather or my mood is a bit on the gloomy side!

For some, black is the running theme of their wardrobe and I'm here to say "introduce a little colour". 
Ease yourself into it gently, make like the ladies of those bygone eras and add a navy glove, nude hat or cream shoe.

Then once you are comfortable really start to mix it up! Team that little black dress with a pair of 1950's cobalt blue gloves, or a 1940's fuchsia pink hat or a 1960's patent mustard bag.

When you're really in the swing of things you can play around with pattern. Wear a 1950's floral scarf with your black pencil dress for instant panache or a tartan jacket for a fashion edge.
Go mad and throw on some red and white polka dots with a slick of red lipstick and you are on to an instant winner!

Dirty Fabulous is a treasure trove of colour and below is just a snippet of the vivacious hats, gloves and bags that we have in stock along with some images to show how accessories would have been worn originally.
