Ode to Vintage Fashion

I love me some vintage influences, whether frills and lace from the turn of the 19th century, sparkly baubles from the 1920s, the New Look silhouette of the '50s with nipped-in waists and full skirts, and the flowing dresses, wide leg jeans, and platform shoes of the late '60s and '70s. Here are some looks I find particularly beautiful!
