pretty pretty. my college library had great archives (esp. for fashion-type things) - i used to love to go down and flip through 30s-50s fashion mags. always beautiful stuff!
What's great about the way "fashion" has evolved is, none of those outfits would look out of place today. Rather than slavishly following a trend, I honestly believe that today we excercise greater freedom of expression in our personal style than ever. It's just brilliant. Literally anything goes. Any style, any era.
The last photo is gorgeous!
Those glasses are awesome. I'll keep my eyes open for similar ones during the next flea market season. hehe
Thanks for sharing :)
