I am a resistant

I'm not a person inclined to trends, to fashion, on my clothes and the house - and mentality!

I am a resistant. 

I never try to please or I am afraid to displease. Reading this you may think I am a difficult person, intransigent and unpleasent. Well, I will tell you that it depends on the tastes of the people around me and I know some like me.

I am classic, conservative and I follow my lead, my tastes and I look for and get together, in person or online, with likeminded people.

In that note I will say that I never care about what is the trend in anything, so I dress in a classical way, with some clothes that could have been worn in the fourties and fifties and the begining of the sixties.

 

                   

    

Pensil skirts, pleated or softly circled. Sweters, pullovers, cardigans with round or v-necks. With scarves. Or blouses inside. Never trousers, only inside the home when it's cold. Reasonable lent shorts when it's hot. But never outside.

If it's not summer I wear tights, always, transparent or opaque.

My shoes are like these:

  

never pointed, never square, always round, black, blue or it can be of a pastel colour

 

Always flat or low heels for the health of my column.

And the house.

I like this kind of kitchen.

And everything that evokes that feeling.

            

        

And I always hang our clothes on the line.

It's a way of living and I'm not alone in that.

The delight of past eras - II

I could have lived in past eras as I like it so much.

I think the downfall happened in the middle of the 60', with some intervals. I remember some pretty things in the end of the 80' (some, I said 😀), as in the 90' and so on, but most clothes are not as elegant as before. We are lucky when we can find some quite decent.

But it's not just the clothes, life in every aspect was better and nicer before. Now we have some progress in the health department and we have the glorious internet, mobile phones and such, but taking that off some improvements, we are not better.

But never mind, we can always hope and wait for better times.

Now we will see some elegance and nice living from the 50s and the begining of the 60s.

Then we stop. 😄

The 50s

The 60s

That's all.

Just look how life was beautiful in the years past.

I know that problems and difficulties were present in people's lives in each decade, let's think about the two wars, the big depression and so on, but what I mean is the beauty. 

From the end of the sixties life went from ugly to uglier. I know that there was pretty thing even after that date, some quite beautiful, but life in the whole, the clothes, the habits, everything went down. The number of nice things (clothes, car and life in general) was smaller than before it.

See the 1900s - 1919

This picture reminds us so much of the time before the war of 1914-18.

The 20s.

It's so interesting how this picture, which is from January of 1920, just the ending of the previous decade and the begining of a new one, shows us exactly similar clothes to the 1900s, more after 1910.

Notice how here the skirt is so much shorter. For sure many women then used longer ones still, but we see the new trend.

Here, in 1924, longer skirts again.

The 30s

So much elegance here. Amazing!

The 40s

So inspiring !

The 50s in another post. 😊
