Pink sweater, blue polka dots

by Nora Jane Struthers in 1950's, Vintage Fashion Blog

Dear friends,

Last week I attended a Christmas party at a studio here in Nashville.  I wore this blue and white polka dot dress that I got in Paris at a vintage store for 12 €.

I added a bright pink cardigan to make myself feel more party. 

Mission accomplished.

Thanks for reading friends.

Sincerely,

Nora Jane

JALOPY!!!!

by Nora Jane Struthers in 1950's, Vintage Fashion Blog



Dear Friends,

One of the highlights of the tour was our home-coming show at New York’s newest bestest music venue, Jalopy located in Red Hook, Brooklyn.
On the bill with us was the fantastic performer, Micheal Daves–he owned the stage and rocked the mic and I’m not kidding you brother!  Micheal was kind enough to get me up to sing harmony with him on the Louvin Brothers classic “If I could Only Win Your Love”. 
The guys, Ben and Grant, played great, the sound was great, and the crowd was great!  Thanks to everyone who came out!
I wore my favorite 50’s paisley-print skirt with a black tank and a big brown woven belt.  I mean hey, When amongst hippsters…
Thanks for reading friends.
Sincerely,
Nora Jane

Sunday Morning Gospel at a Little White Church

by Nora Jane Struthers in 1950's, Vintage Fashion Blog



My sometimes band-mate and friends Danny Clark had me back him up at church yesterday morning.  He played mandolin and sang lead and I play my guitar and sang tenor.

We performed two songs: Little White Church (how appropriate!) and Let Us Travel, Travel On, which is my favorite song to sing with Danny.  I learned it from The Dry Branch Fire Squad, but it is originally a Stanley Brothers song.
Here’s what I wore:
Dress: 50’s Vintage
Belt: Vintage Hand-Me-Down for Grandma Evelyn
Mocs: Minnetonka
It was a lovely service and the congregation seemed to really enjoy the music.
Thanks for reading friends.
Sincerely,
Nora Jane
