Carol Lombard's clothes are so simple and "full" for the most part. I could use more of that kind of style and less of the tight clothing we are supposed to wear now.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01649567646783537650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-39781223106060402252014-04-02T12:58:35.058-03:002014-04-02T12:58:35.058-03:00Jennifer - I'd heard that about Clark's br...Jennifer - I'd heard that about Clark's breath, but Carole didn't seem to mind at all!

I loved Carole's style. She wore the slinky charmeuse gowns as easily as she did her tweeds. She was a terrific screwball comedian. I would love to have had her husbands for just one hour. William Powell is a favorite. Well maybe two hours:-)). Clark was no slouch, although I did read he had wooden dentures and appalling breath! So sorry to hear about your snow dumping...just not fair. Plan a little excursion west perhaps? I'll put you up here. xoJenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04723360304687997220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-17368216186260738642014-04-02T11:45:15.662-03:002014-04-02T11:45:15.662-03:00Oh Wendy I was so hoping this was a late April Foo...Oh Wendy I was so hoping this was a late April Fools' Day post. All that snow needs to go pronto. Our weather is getting better that spring is far behind normal schedule. The garden looks worse for wear. I fear some of my perennials may not have made it through the winter. I'm loving your classic Lombard looks. Timeless and elegant. Thinking warm thoughts for you today.
