Top 7 1940s Cold Weather Trends

1.  Knitted Turbans
Okay, seriously, how flippin' adorable is this headscarf/turban?!?!  What a great way to use some yarn odds and ends!  I think I'm going to have to get the pattern for myself...

Cozy and cute!  It's a goal of mine to make some of my own someday.

7.  FABULOUS FURS.
Probably the best, most iconic of 1940s winter fashions.  Find it in hats, muffs, shoes, gloves, coats, capes, pretty much any sort of clothing item!

  3. These are great!! By the way, I tried sending you my mailing address for your hospitality prize but the email keeps getting kicked back. Not sure why, could be on my end but I just wanted to give you a heads up.

    1. That is SO weird. I don't understand why it's doing that either! Would you mind trying me on facebook? I'm so sorry about that.

  4. Love this wonderful post! After a zillion and a half years of wanting one, I finally found a vintage muff (it's not huge my any means, but it's in good shape for it's age, which I'd peg to be 70-85 years old) this past weekend at a total bargain ($10) to boot. I'm so looking forward to keeping my hands toasty in it all winter long.

    1. A $10 muff?! How fabulous! That's amazing!!! I have a purse that a guy thought was a muff today, and I was kinda sad. I wished it was a muff, because they're awesome. I'm glad you found a good one to use during this cold weather!

  5. Muffs, scarves, stockings, and fur is definitely how I stay warm in the winter in Denver! Though I'm not sure anytime I have currently is as beautiful / cute as the photos you found.

    1. Yeah, I'm lacking in such cute winter wear! I'm finding that I have a lot of warmer weather vintage wear, but winter stuff seems harder to find, I think. Or it's more expensive!
