Fantasy Fashion League

Men have sports fantasy leagues. Why can't we have a fashion league?

I propose a game, ladies. Pick an era, pick event type and off we go, scouring vintage stores for perfect looks.
Think of it as Mission Possible, Sartorial Styles.

Like so:

The Era: 1960s
The Event:: A super fabulous cocktail party
The Mission: Find what to wear!
Rulles: all original vintage, no recent updates. Except for footwear. I'm a little particular about who wore my shoes... you know?

Shall we play?

1) Look 1: Stunning and timeless. This looks is so classy and clean that making it true to its time is all about the acsessories:

Paor with a brooch on one shouler:

A cocktail ring:
And a pair of earrings:

And a head band:
And these shoes:
And a clutch, to round up the look:

2) Look 2, Space age innocence, straight out of Mad Men:


Pair with gold sandals:

Earrings & Bracelet:


3) Look 3:This is just so exotic: 
Pair with same  shoes as above
And these:

And this: 

4) Look 4: Remember Liz Taylor as Cleopatra? Well, you can be one too!
Same Jewlery as above, gold sandals as above, and then put on  this stunner:


5) Look 5:  A Palazzo pant - an invetion of an ex-pat Russian artistocrat Irene Galitizine:



Would go nicely with these:

Oh, and a beehive is a must!

7) Look 7: This sexy beast:

8) Look 8: Similar in mood to #6 but with a different color scheme:



9) Look 9 is pure fantasy: a tunic (a very 60s item of clothing) over a long skirt (although could be worn over a mid calf white pencil skirt as well):
