I think I am getting more monotone in my outfit selections as I get older. I used to like to wear super-fun, uber-colorful clothes, but lean towards classic silhouettes in basic colors, nowadays. I can't help but love this classy-chic look Katie Holmes sported recently:
"If I'd observed all the rules, I'd have never gotten anywhere." - Marilyn Monroe
When it comes to fashion, I firmly believe that rules are made to be broken. Wear black with brown or deep blue, mix your metals, wear white after Labor Day, and basically rock whatever you can make work. Experimentation is the key to stellar personal style, after all.
Swimsuits 1952
Fashion Flashback to 1952 and see the chic swimsuit fashions of the era.
Through the 1950s, it was thought proper for the lower part of the bikini to come up high enough to cover the navel. From the 1960s on, the bikini shrank in all directions until it sometimes covered little more than the nipples and genitalia, although less revealing models giving more support to the breasts
