Bette Davis and Doris Day had birthdays this month. Although they seem quite different, both have influenced our lives. We thought it would be fun to see how these women are perceived through their style.
When going out to dine, it's best to have a fashionable coat, be it faux fur |
or pink taffeta. |
As career women hats were de rigueur |
and gloves added the je ne sais quoi. |
Nothing says causal like a black shirt |
and rattan. |
Wrap dresses are still in fashion |
as are pleated palazzos.. |
When lounging with a cocktail in Autumn keep your fashion simple, |
in Summer, keep it cool. |
Bette works best with a cigarette, |
and Doris with Cary Grant. |
An evening dress can be soft and subtle... |
or not. |
Classic and pretty |
are perfect for stepping out. |
In the end it's still about perception. To some Bette will only be the powerful diva |
and Doris the girl next door. To us, they are so much more. |
