Thrift Score: Old Magazines

Last night I went on an impromptu thrift trip ( I needed a break from all the mall shopping and conventional retail outlets I have been to this week).  The drop in proved to be fruitful.  I found some great vintage stuff and one of my more exciting purchases were three magazines from the '40's and '50's.  In pretty good shape to boot.   Clayton and I had a good time leafing through them, and I was thrilled to find some amazing images and ads of ladies and gents in all their vintage glory.  So I thought I would share some of my favourite Images from the magazines.  I wish there were more colour pictures in the mags, but hey it was the '40's!  Hopefully you enjoy these images and outfits as much as I do!


The three magazines are Chatelaine, Look (from April 1940), and Spot

   


I think this is my favourite image out of all of them.  Maybe it's the colour of her outfit or the red lips or both.
   

Love the print on this outfit.  Not sure if it's really for tennis or just a bathing suite.  Fabulous all the same!

Pretty bow.  I love her overall look

I'd love to see this dress in colour


Beautiful shoes!







The fact that these shoes match this outfit perfectly makes me so excited.  I know matchy matchy is bad, but this is epic
