Did a Vintage TV Show Inspire You? I Wanted to Be Like Rhoda.

In the early vintage 1970s TV show, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, I wanted to be Rhoda. The fun quirky character that was Mary’s neighbor.

Rhoda’s wardrobe was part modern 70s  fashion with vintage clothing mixed to together for a Bohemian style.

She also was a window dresser or display person, as it was called then, and an artist.

I remember one episode where she was wearing an antique 1920s silk Kimono style  robe with fringe. I have that almost identical robe in my personal collection. And I have worn it.

I finally got into the visual merchandising profession, so I did get to be like Rhoda.

Here are a few examples of vintage clothing that I feel Rhoda would have worn.

These she may have had in her apartment.

1970s burgundy suede vintage shoes

Stilettos of the past, Vintage Stiletto Shoes from the 50’s, 60’s and 80’s

Stilettos originally started in the mid 1950’s and the style stayed strong for nearly a full decade until they faded out in the mid 1960’s.

6-6.5 vintage 50s cream leather TROYLINGS d'orsay stiletto pumps shoes

7 M vtg 50s white 4.5 inch stilettos heels pumps shoes

6.5-7-7.5 vtg 60s black leather FIANCEES heels shoes

The style kinda went dormant from the mid 1960’s until the stiletto spike started a comeback tour in the late 1970’s. This new incarnation of the classic style stayed strong all the way through the 1980’s.

7 B vintage 80s orange genuine crocodile NEIMAN MARCUS croc stiletto pumps shoes

8 vtg 80s leopard print haircalf open-toe pumps shoes

8.5-9 vintage B&W striped snake skin CLEO BOTTIER stiletto spectator pumps shoes

The truth is since its rebirth in the 1970’s this style has never been absent since. The stiletto heel has been living large for nearly 3 decades and will likely never be missing from the world of shoes ever again.

The Fabulous Forties. Vintage that is always in style.

When asked what is my favorite year for vintage clothing I have to say the fabulous 1940s.  The vintage fashions, clothing,  accessories, movies and of course the music are my passion!

The forties 1940s fashions never go out of style in my mind.

Nothing is more flattering than a curvy Hollywood style 40s vintage suit or jacket. The Joan Crawford look makes everyone have the perfect hour glass figure. And the swing dresses of the era with their flirty skirts and shoulder pads are such fun.

Here are few of my favorites from Bettes Bargains Vintage Clothing.

1940s olive green suede clutch

1940s brown tilt “doll” hat

1930s deco vintage clothing from a Lane Bryant Slenderizing vintage fashion catalog

If you love 1930s vintage fashions as much as I do, you will be just as excited to see this original 1934 fall style and fashion book by Lane Bryant. A leader in womens larger size clothing even in the 1930s. The colors of the pages in the catalog are as fresh as they were years ago.

Fabulous vintage  early 1934 and 1935 fall and winter vintage  fashions are shown for the larger lady which shows that plus size clothing even in the 30s was stylish and up to date with what was happening in the fashion world.

So yes, larger sizes were available and not at all dowdy or old lady looking.

I have a large inventory of plus and larger sized clothing from the 1930s through the 60s to add to Bettes Bargains Vintage clothing shop in the near future.

Below are a few photos from the book and some items from my shop that mirror these styles.

All catalog photos courtesy of a 1930s Lane Bryant fashion book.

Fall Fashions – Cooler Weather is Coming!

I know it’s August, and here in Arizona it’s hard to realize that Fall is just around the corner; but it will be here before you know it, and I thought I’d take advantage and get a head start.  My new site Scorpio Vintage has already listed some lovely vintage items.  So here’s my fashion Fall Forecast.

Don Sayers for Wellmore designs have the classic look of St. John Knits, but are much more affordable. Here’s a stunning Little Black Dress with exquisite shoulder & neck embellishment

Next we have a Hand Knit Dress done in a beige wool boucle yarn with shoulder & upper bodice accent in a metallic copper.  Shoulder are done in a Pointelle stitch.  Bombshell Beauty.

Next, we’ve got some Squared toe stiletto pump with color blocks of very fine suede.  This is a much finer & softer suede than you see today.

Next is an Escada 80’s Window pane plaid skirt in a wool blend.  Slim pencil style done in a red tone on tone color.  Classic simplicity.

We hope that you’ll visit our new site.  Click on the pictures to go to the listing.
