These platforms are I guess emblazoned with Zodiac signs, though I can't really tell myself. Zodiac themed clothing and accessories was hot shit back then, though!
I love the bright pink, round covered buttons, gathered shoulders, and little shooting stars scattered around the bodice. You can see the similarities to the jacket below.
"Fashion" is not Vogue magazine, designers, or trends. Fashion is and should be an important component of the lives of everyday people, and is an important source of history and culture for women in particular. Clothing is overlooked in history particularly because it has historically been a women's domain, but fashion is art, anthropology, culture, subculture, and part of our everyday lives. We shouldn't fear it, as we have been told to, but be enriched by it! Blah blah blah. Mostly this will be photos of clothing I have found. These photos are not mine. I am borrowing them for use. My "main" blog is Rip It To Shreds.
