It used to be that vintage Vogues were rich sources of style inspiration for us because it was in tune with what seemed current and hip. Diana Vreeland's lofty view of how it should be was magic (and really still is) but how long can you shop with fantasty in mind? We can't always relate to a scarf-swathed Veruschka in the Painted Desert. Grace Mirabella's Vogue full of Janice Dickinson and Rosie Vela in Beene separates is more on target but vintage Mademoiselle is totally where it is at right now. Tickle deodorant ads. Nik-Nik blouses. Famolare wedges and Happy Legs. Oh Happy Legs! We love seeing girls in their twenties in leggy denim and platform shoes. Girls with long hair and Kissing Potion lips. Girls who smelled like Love's Fresh Lemon and whose biggest dream was meeting Scott Baio. A classic mid 70s artifact, this elastic smocked Happy Legs top used to be known as a popcorn top. Hitting well below the hip, the shades of plum, peach, sage and eggplant are slightly sheer with a zippper that comes down to the base of your cleavage. We're guessing acrylic voile, it has a bust of 34", shoulder to shoulder 14", outer sleeve 27" and length 29". For tall girls, obviously. Excellent condition. $70.00 |
