Vintage Elegant Lady in Stylish Fedora Hat, she is KB's Aunt!

Here is KB's Great Aunt Joanne in a fashion photo from the 1940's.  What I like about this look is the sassy, stylish fedora that tops off her menswear suit.  The ruffle front blouse adds a feminine touch.  The fit on her menswear suit is tight and sexy with the waist nipped in tight.  She looks adorable here. 

Joanne loved fashion.  Her collection of fashion photos are from the heydays of Hollywood glam in the 1940’s.  This is the time when fedora hats were worn by stars like Humphrey Bogart, Gene Kelly, and Lucille Ball. Joanne and her husband Bunny, became merchants in the apparel business.   When I was a teenager Joanne and Bunny took me to the Los Angeles Apparel Mart.  I spent time in their booth and wandered around the clothing market.  This experience pushed my decision to apply for the Fashion Design program at FIDM (the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising).  The LA Fashion District is the capital of West Coast style. Thanks to Aunt Jo for taking me there when I was a young girl!

I love this look, it is so glamorous!

Your Aunt sure knew how to make something that on most people would look too `strong`and have it glammed out!
