1940s LBD via Life Archive
Based on la’s post it seems like the demure quality of the librarian look has been mistaken for something akin to cold oatmeal. Reading Liebmarlene Vintage’s recent post offers an alternative. The clothes by Ingrid Starnes provides looks that are mysterious not drab.
Confession: If I.S. were a saint I would pray to her each morning. I’ve tired of the eyelet, gingham, madras, and chambray that have overrun le vêtements d’été.
Ingrid provides us with something dusty and sophisticated. I feel her collection balances femininity with some bit of mystery. The clothes inspired from 1930’s and 1940’s silhouettes are created in livable, everyday colors and cuts. You won’t stand out in these looks but you’re sure to be noticed.
Her fall collection is equally inspirational visit http://www.ingridstarnes.com/.
