Casual Summer Dressing

Two incomparable divas show just how chic casual dressing can be.  Mix and match separates begin with a core wardrobe basic, the notched collar blouse....a staple in any era.

Mabel Lorkovic (aka Madra Lord) teams the blue and white window pane checked blouse from Ashton Drake's Star Wardrobe Collection with a navy pencil thin skirt and matching belt.  Mustard accessories give the ensemble a sophisticated look.  Circa 1950's.

Barbara Millicent Roberts (aka Barbie) wears her iconic yellow body blouse with a multi-colored, floral, gathered skirt (Country Fair #1603, Mattel).  The casual look is elevated with pops of black and white.  Circa 1960's.

  1. Love Madra in this hat and color combo. Babs has always looked good to me. The addition of the cool hat just elevates her look. Nice Melissa.

  2. Absolutely smashing these ensembles are for the boardwalk, the soda fountain, or casual summer shopping! And although a decade apart, these ladies show how cool the hot summer heat can be! --Monsieur Érik
