Some vintage style advice from some vintage people...

...my parents! For Mother's Day I wrote a blog about my mother, and I just wrote about style traits of my mother and father. Lots of old images here in my blog, I thought some might enjoy!

What a sweet, smart and loving post, Maggie! Neat idea to organize it into illustrated fashion guidelines.

Three cheers for the Wilds family!

Really? I have much in common with my father...but not his distinguished nose!

Marty, a couple of years ago I took my mother's sewing machine into a repair shop to have anything done it needed and came back to find nothing needed to be done. This machine is charmed!
