1980s edition of Victorian and Edwardian Fashion, Goodwill Outlet (25 cents)
I admittedly didn't read much of the text, but the photos were interesting! I especially enjoyed some of the intricate hairdos. Here are some favorites:
Doesn't it look like the middle picture is some sort of duel? The caption just says that it's a group of women enjoying the weather. And I'm totally digging the long curled hair of the woman on the right :)
There's just something magical about old photos, especially from the late 1800s and early 1900s. I honestly can't picture what their lives must've been like. But they sure look great living them!
Hope your Thursday's amazing!
Always,
Amanda
PS: The hubby and I decided to make a weekend trip to the town of Luray, Virginia, for the weekend :) Hopeully I'll find some places to thrift shop while relaxing it up!
I agree, I can't picture how their lives were. How crazy is that middle picture, though? Cool.
ReplyDeleteI have never romanticized bygone eras. Umm...yeah, they might LOOK pretty but I bet they bathed much more infrequently than we do and had poor dental care...yeaahhh that's what I think about when I see that stuff. I'm horrible. Hahahaha.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree, Alya. I can't imagine how their lives were, but I know the living conditions were much worse than today! It's just the old photos that I love looking at. And I honestly can't imagine myself looking as elegant as the ladies in these photos, with their unbrushed teeth and all!
