What a sweet blueberry-colored top! It’s made by Jam, and features dainty detailing at the yoke, along with a pretty bow. I’d wear this with an a-line skirt, patterned tights, and vintage-inspired heeled oxfords to complete the look.

This knee-skimming dress is all 1930s, with its soft satiny fabric and row of gold foil buttons down the front and along the epaulets. The color is so neutral, but gorgeous, complimenting your peaches and cream complexion. Pair with patent heels, slinky chandelier earrings, and a faux fur wrap for a night on the town.
Any or all of these marvelous pieces would be ideal for adding the pretty 1930s look to your wardrobe… I adore the straw hat, and that last dress is so gorgeous! Which of these pieces do you like best, and what would you wear it with? Do tell!
