Retro Summer Dreams

       Despite it still being February I can’t help but daydream about spring/Summer and a time when jackets are unnecessary and skirts and dresses can be worn without leggings or tights. As I live in Minnesota and the weather can be rather unpredictable the arrival of spring is always a guessing game. But, given the incredibly mild winter we’ve had so far I can only hope we’ll have a quick jump to spring weather soon. In the meantime I’ve been soaking up all the 50’s inspired Spring/Summer fashion editorials and ads around the web. I’m as sucker for anything 50’s/60’s inspired, especially clothing. I’m always looking to add 50’s inspired element to my wardrobe, so when I saw this Prada ad and the L’Officiel editorial my mind was buzzing with inspiration and longing for summer heat. Enjoy!
