Cool summer outfit in style of 1962 in grey & pink colors in the style of Jacqueline Kennedy
So, surprise. I am no longer a blonde, but a brunette.
Since childhood, I dreamed of being or becoming a very light blonde. And in
my early youth, being carried away by vintage fashion, I finally realized my
dream, because, in my then opinion, of being blonde is the true embodiment of
vintage.
I wanted to be like Grace Kelly, Marilyn Monroe, Kim Novak and other
glamorous divas I didn't know much about. Moreover, in infancy I had blond
hair, which over the years began to actively darken. Therefore, when I started
coloring, I already had light brown or dirty blond or dark blond hair. But over
the years of coloring, they have darkened a lot, reaching the depth of dark
color.
Now I'm tired of being a blonde. And finally, I realized that I accept
myself for who I am. In addition, most of my ancestors were just dark-haired
and brunettes, so lightening their hair is not respectful towards them. And not
too useful for the world around and own health.
Yes, and many truly vintage style icons were brunettes - Gabrielle Chanel, Vivien Leigh, Audrey Hepburn, Jacqueline Kennedy, Gina Lollobrigida, Sophia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor and others. In addition, the same Kim Novak in Vertigo, being Judith Barton, despite her vulgar behavior, dark-haired looks better. What can I say, brunettes have well-deserved epithets - fatal, sultry, burning, bright...
Even Tolkien's elves were mostly dark-haired.
And Lady Morgana from the BBC series "Merlin" has always attracted me with her dark and at the same time bright appearance.
And most
importantly, the heroine of the novels that I write is a bright, fatal,
burning, sultry brunette!
Thanks to the new hair color, I decided to embody the strict and elegant
look in style of Jackie Kennedy.
Surprisingly harmonious combination of gray and pink, among other things,
the jacket has not only pink buttons, but also a pink lining.
My wonderful Swedish jacket has two labels at once. One refers to the material and the manufacturer of the material from which it was made. The other one is for the atelier and the firm that made it. In addition, the material itself is also certified, and this type of certification itself, which existed only before 1973, narrows the time frame.
In addition, the thing itself shows
that at one time real worsted wool was produced in Sweden. By the way, worsted wool
is a very good material, the lightest and thinnest, because it consists of only
long woolen hairs, which gives it higher wear resistance and light gloss.
I am wearing:
- Real vintage light gray pure wool (worsted yarn, double stretch by “SK KILSUND ORIGINAL DUBBEL STRETCH”) loose jacket by “Salenco design”, made in Sweden, about late 1960s (not earlier then 1966/not later then 1973)
- Real vintage pink pure silk long sleeve blouse by “Pierre Harré”, made in France, about 1960s-1970s
- Real vintage pink with stripes pure wool pleated midi skirt, made in France, about late 1960s-1970s
- Real vintage white/ecru lacquered raffia and horsehair pillbox hat with ribbon decor, about 1950-1960s
- Pink genuine cow leather belt by “GAP”, about 2000-2010s
- Pink leather handbag by “Nuria Cobo”, made in Spain, about 2000-2020s
- Cream cotton homemade knitted gloves, end of 2020
- Beige nylon tights, about 1990s
- Cream leather mid heel shoes, made in Spain, 2020s
A loose jacket, a pleated midi skirt and a pillbox hat create the perfect look of the early 1960s, 1962 to be exact.
