The joys of vintage nylons - a photo on Flickriver

The joys of vintage nylons

            Do you enjoy wearing vintage nylon stockings?   Well, I sure do.

I'm holding an unopened package of vintage stockings from the mid 1960s - I bought a few of the same brand (Sears), and am wearing one pair.  And this is a mid-60s slip by Van Raalte with amazing leaf appliques and a gorgeous chiffon hem.  I'm wearing some sort of vintage looking hair cover - the type women might have worn during makeup sessions, or while soaking in the tub.  

Part of the allure of vintage clothing is the sense that you're wearing history.  Sometimes I try to transport myself back to the era I'm 'wearing' - to think about the daily lives people led, or the big events that occurred.  I find it gives me a better sense of history and 'roots me' in the legacies of those who came before us.

Best of all, I love the look and feel of vintage clothing like this.
