Eeeny meeny, miny mo… I’ll take them all. Just wrap them all up and send them COD.
Don’t you wish it was that easy?
I’m such a sucker for 1930s sportswear. It seems so easy and free- little tops and skirts and trousers you could throw on in a moment’s notice. It’s casual and still chic- no over the top glamour, but fun and practical little clothes I could see wearing today!
Here’s a few pages of inspiration for the weekend- tops, jackets, dresses, and skirts. Two from 1936 and one from the Fall and Winter of 1938-1939. Enjoy!
Have a great weekend!

Its sole function is to facilitate ordering from vintage catalogs somehow, like that movie with Keanu Reeves with the mailbox…I love casual 20s and 30s sportswear looks– they remind me of Jordan Baker (from The Great Gatsby) and Bonnie Parker! melina bee
