Sunday evening I watched one of my most favorite musicals…Easter Parade. Β I always look for it to be on TV around Easter, and was happy to find it once again! Β While it does deal loosely with Easter, the majority of it surrounds dancing duo Judy Garland and Fred Astaire as they work to make it big. Β Of course the whole filmΒ capitulates with the yearly Easter Parade, where women don the most extravagant hats and stroll around town. Β Lovely!
So I am clearly still on a Judy Garland high and felt that a special post was in order. Β Now there is a large amount of research, articles, and books written on Miss Garland, and this is in no way another one. Β Instead, I thought I would find a few photos of the talented actress in a fewΒ lovely outfits and share them with all of you!
So here we go!
I adore this blouse and skirt combo. Β The skirt appears to consist of several gores that meet at the waist. Β Adorable!
Not only does the fun ooze from this picture, so does the sweetness of the outfit. Β From the gloves to the hat, this ensemble is perfect. Β I really like how the bottom of the jacket turns up to expose the lining that matches the revers collar.
This might be my most favorite picture of her ever! Β A soft blonde in the most amazing shade of rose I have ever seen! Β Whether this has been altered after the fact, or if it truly was the shade she was wearing, it doesn’t matter. Β I adore it!
A unique outfit as it goes all the way to the floor, this dress is only made sweeter by the addition of the scarf around the head. Β And of course, Shirley Temple looks adorable too!
Taken in the late 1950’s, this suit features aΒ long jacket over a skirt. Β A very popular look at the time.
If all this fashion has put you in the mood to watch someΒ Judy Garland movies, may I recommend a few of my favorites:
