Confession time: I've got so many fashion pictures that sometimes I have trouble deciding which ones to share! This post I thought I'd choose a colour theme. The colour is pink, and the year is 1964.

| Lana Lobell, Spring 1964 |
This is the image that decided me on "pink". From left to right we have "the Ascot suit" in three pieces, a white suit in cotton double knit with a hot pink ascot, and a dress with matching jacket in a mohair, cotton and nylon mix. Each outfit is worn with a hat and wrist-length white gloves. Everyone looks very ladylike.

| Skylark, Summer 1964 |
Four views of the same shift dress in rayon crepe. It's topped by a matching coat in mohair. The effect is rather more sophisticated than our trio from Lana Lobell.

| Advertisement for Wool, 1964 |
Next, an advertisement to promote the virtues of wool—as showcased in coats designed by PRL of New York. The look somehow manages to be at once formal and "with it".

| Anthony Horderns, Spring-Summer 1964 |
And lastly, a catalogue from Australia. From left to right we have an "A Line" frock in viscose, a fairly conservative "shirtmaker" in checked polyester and cotton, and a (very modern) sleeveless blouson in polyester-cotton. Hatless and gloveless, I'm getting a very informal vibe from these models!
