Retro Bowling Shirt

Popular in America since at least the 1950′s, vintage and retro bowling shirts are currently most associated with the character Charlie Harper on the television show Two and a Half Men. They are considered to be “dressy” casual wear, suitable for most events that don’t require a tie and they still work in the bowling alley as well.

I had a birthday and received some pin-up platform shoes! They look all innocent, from this angle.

Until you turn them around.  And ka-pow! Check out the height of these babies. Luckily they are platforms, which make them so much easier to walk in.

And less we not forget the sweet curvy sides!  What’s the old saying: ‘What are 3 things, in your closet you can wear these with?’

I’m planning on pairing these with a black and white tunic–this cute,vintage-inspired tunic, is from Forever 21 [borrowed from my daughter's closet].

And maybe the floral slip dress, which is really just a 1980′s silk slip, perfect for Spring 2010.

Anything black and maybe some pearls too. I love how the scallop of the this vintage black dress echoes the shoes…..oh the list goes on.  I can take these pin-up heels anywhere.

Vintage Jewelry

Vintage Religious metals by Mary Jo Pane designs make wonderful modern, yet vintage,  jewelry pieces.

All the Miracle Icons medals used in these pieces are antique or vintage, mostly found in European flea markets, with the characteristic softened edges and patinas accumulated over many generations and lifetimes.  As a result, every Vintage Religious piece is unique and can never be exactly duplicated.

Mary Jo Pane explains how her Miracle Icons resonate with an evolved world view, an openness to possibilities beyond intellectual understanding and with a sense of spirit that transcends specific religious beliefs.

I’d say these Vintage Religious necklaces would illuminate any pin up clothing outfit.
