I really like the 'American Beauty' color scheme. I've been wanting to incorporate more of a raspberry color into my sewn wardrobe. Over the summer my mom gave me a great polka dot top in a bright raspberry shade (it's a bit more raspberry than pink as it appears in this photo) and I really like it:
I would love to find some fabric in the reddish blue similar to the 'American Beauty' above. I, of course, also love the Wintergreen color! Which is your favorite?
I love the raspberry! Though right now, I seem to be wearing a lot of wintergreen. And wintergreen sounds so much better than drab olive!
ReplyDeleteI love the raspberry with the pale blue! Pretty yet unexpected. I agree with Elle, wintergreen is a great colour name!
ReplyDeleteI love them both, but I think the raspberry is my favorite by a small margin.
ReplyDeleteBoth the rasberry and wintergreen are spectacular, I really love them both and share your sentiments about finding fabric in those shades.....I love all the colour combinations during that era....the outfits looked so 'put together'.
ReplyDeleteI love t he wintergreen!! The color is so rich and luxe!!

I love the elegant names they've given the colour schemes; it makes them more fabulous! :) I love them both, as they are both colours that I wear regularly.
ReplyDeleteLove the polka dot blouse! I'm planning on making a red pin dot one for myself this spring.
I love polka dots in all colors, raspberry color is fun but I'm planning to sew a blouse with blue and white polka dots
ReplyDeleteI would seriously struggle to pick a colour as they are both so gorgeous..although the wintergreen would probably suit me better. What elegant pictures!
ReplyDeleteGreen for me! I can't stop buying green fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI would have to go with Wintergreen but I might be skewed. I have been buying so many different green fabrics lately for some reason and the American Beauty would not work on me.
ReplyDeleteI looooooove the green one.
ReplyDeleteBoth of those are gorgeous but the green is absolutely stunning.
ReplyDeleteHi Debi, you probably saw Mena's post over at Sew Weekly, but ancestry.com has all of the Sears catalogues posted - I spotted this there too. You can get a free 2 week membership and download images that you like as long as it's not the bulk of the document. I may end up paying for one month of membership as I don't want to spend all my time at the computer for 2 weeks!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog.
For a long time I've wanted to incorporate gray as a basic in my wardrobe but I could never find the right gray but recently I just bit the bullet and bought a sweater jacket in a medium gray then spent an hour trying it on with various things and what I liked best was burgundy. So, I'd have to vote for that combo but the green/brown combo is inspiring too. thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE the Wintergreen bag. Great catalog page!
ReplyDeleteYou look so cute in your polka dot blouse!
ReplyDeleteI think that the Wintergreen combo is my favorite - but maybe it's because, like Serendipity, I LOVE that green purse! Is that trapunto quilting?
I think both are great colors because they compliment each other so well.
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to know exactly what shade of red American Beauty is, so thank you! I love the green hat, so classy.
ReplyDeleteOoh I love those colours!
