It’s so true! Fashion in my mom and even my grandmother’s day was so fabulous! I have countless vintage photographs of both of them looking so chic—not a bad one in the bunch! Our generation on the other hand rocked some pretty forgettable looks and I have all the awful photographs of myself to prove it
Thanks, Elisa! This photograph actually has a pretty hysterical backstory. My mother and her girlfriends planned a weekend getaway on the advice of another friend. When they arrived at the recommended resort they realized that nudity was allowed—not exactly a nudist colony but a resort that encouraged visitors to bare it all and evidently many did! My mother was not happy— hence the expression on her face
That story just made my day! In any event, I admire her composure…I’m sure I would have been reduced to giggles!
Oh, I know I would have too
Interesting how our mother’s in the 1950′s all looked like movie stars. There is something of Dorothy Malone about your mother in this picture. Truly glamorous.
Great image……..
Merci
Beautiful! So love her glasses! I just purchased a pair very similar! Don’t you just love how fashion just comes around and around!

Marie, your mom’s beautiful!
Thank you, Jeannie! She was even more beautiful on the inside.
Your Mother exudes a quiet confidence that adds to her beauty. An elegant shot!

Thank You! You are so right—moms of that era all seemed to have that movie star quality. Now you’ve got me curious—I have to google Dorothy Malone
Wow!! What a looker. So very glamorous. And cool. I also love the back story. Great expression!! Theadora (She does look like Dorothy Malone!)
