If you’re looking for spring fashion inspiration from past decades, you’ve come to the right place. Putting a modern twist on what your mother (or grandmother) wore in her prime is a time-honored tradition. Reinventing an obsolete look to make it relevant today takes talent – and a bit of research.
The model you see below comes from the mid-1950s. Fashion editors at Glamour magazine put this look together in an article titled, “Black + White + Color”.
Glamour readers were inspired by the idea of adding a pink beret to a black and white outfit.

Hidden Assets: bejeweled bangles, of rhinestones and gold.
