I’ve finally got around to posting up some photos of well-dressed folks at Frankie Manning’s 95th Birthday celebrations in New York in May this year. Sorry for the delay, and remember, if you have any photos from this or any swing event, of swing girls OR guys looking fine, then email them through!

Southern Belle Swing Bash, Atlanta, August 2009

img_1213

Both ladies and gents turned out in fine style last weekend for the Southern Belle Swing Bash in Atlanta GA. A fabulous event, not to be missed! The only thing I can say is why were there so few ladies in the Charleston contest? Here’s a true SwingFashionista.com tip: ladies, it doesn’t matter if you haven’t got many moves, just find yourself a cute outfit, and get out there and shake it! Congrats to Morgan (and her gloves) who won – now, that lady knows how to work a cute outfit! Here’s a few more pics from the weekend:
