A Day in the ‘40’s

Wow! What a wild week we have been having here at Portland House. After missing almost a week of work, I am finally almost back to normal.

Today, we joined our friends at the Willamette Lock Festival. We donned our Dieselpunk gharb and made quite the spectacle. Also, I was able to take my new ‘40’s dress on it’s maiden voyage. Almost everyone went as military personnel and I went as the civilian. It was a great day! Here are the pics….

Love Lauren

I'm glad you're feeling better. You look amazing! Looks like a great time!

Sarah said...

Oohh! How fun! You look beautiful and AMAZING! Wow! I never thought a person could really pull off the look of two different eras, that they just had one they "specialized" in, but you look fantastic. The 1940's suits you just as much as the 18th c. You are smashingly gorgeous. I love LOVE your dress style and the fabric! You all look great!
