Whenever I see photos of the ’40s to ’60s in the Western world, I think of an inner beauty, not the flashy sexy. The things that you can’t tear your gaze from and have to look twice to absorb all the little details. Life was simpler back then. It was more charming.
From Bröllopsguiden magazine. A smile on the model would brighten up this photo instantly. Have some fun, girl! A colour rotate would probably work well too…

Hooray for broke teenage fashion bloggers!!
Hey! My name is Delaney and I run the blog Fashion Knick-knacks. I am also young and COMPLETELY agree with your point on young/middle class people’s problems in the fashion world. I really like your blog and just thought us fashionable teenagers should stick together
.
TTYL, Delaney
there was something extremely compelling about those old shoots. . something very earthy yet glamourous. .
