I love seeing photos from this era where women look like actual walking, talking, functioning human beings, not dolls!

An amazing dress and cute shoes. :)

I really like the suit on the right, and her headpiece. :)

I love these shoes, these dresses and the girl on the right’s hair!

I really like the third and fourth outfits. :)

Awesome hats on some awesome ladies!

Cute.

I really like this top, nice for daytime outfits.

Such lovely coats!

So it’s way too soon to be looking at swimsuits (in my part of the world anyway, brrr) but I simply love swimsuits from the 40s and 50s! So stylish. Of course I had to include Marilyn in her white bathing suit. I love the idea of having pretty much a dress as a swimsuit.
