The cats always win!<br />Summer for me is very tiring, the work becomes harder and even sports, arriving to really K.O. evening But I can understand the need to make the sun escort, often in the fall and winter become so difficult to be able to warm up and pamper its healing rays.<br />These days at least here we have a slight breeze coming from the woods, sometimes at night you can hear the balsamic smell of pine trees and if the sky is clear and you can see many stars at that time the summer becomes a magical season, where everything is possible!<br /><br />serenaSerena S.

I don't know why, but when I think of the 50s it's always turquoise, pink and yellow, bright sunshine, diners and drive-ins, so even though it's in black-and-white, I know the photo of the chaps in the car is bright and cheery really.Mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578612522819952936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-89230393225745280832016-07-19T07:39:37.039-07:002016-07-19T07:39:37.039-07:00Hi sweet Sanne, thank you very much for your wonde...Hi sweet Sanne, thank you very much for your wonderfully nice comment and for letting me know how much you enjoy posts like this that are focused on mid-century images. Saturday Snapshots is one of (if not "the") oldest reoccuring post series here and I always truly enjoy returning to it.<br /><br />That photo is sooo darling!

In general, I would definitely say that garments of the past tended to fit their wearers better and that the right (and also well fitting) undergarments played an important roll there. The fact that many items of clothing were also more structured than we see in general (day-to-day) wear now, also contributed to how well they fit their wearer. <br /><br />Thank you for raising that insightful point and for your great comment.<br /><br />Many hugs,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-64066237972944478252016-07-18T23:41:30.302-07:002016-07-18T23:41:30.302-07:00Hang on, I'm packing my bathing suit and old c...Hang on, I'm packing my bathing suit and old chequered sunnies. Ooh, how I've missed this photo series, be it called Flickr or Snapshots, they put me in such a good mood, and you know I love real life photos and study them thoroughly for style clues. I love the young lady with the kitten (I want a kitten - NOW!), and the lady in the stribed bathing suit, that's exactly how I want to look! From her hair, to her red lippy and that gorgeous stribed bathing suit, ahh, dreaming. Have a lovely day, dear. :)SANNEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12973437247117000140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-1540635582296382402016-07-18T19:02:44.840-07:002016-07-18T19:02:44.840-07:00I absolutely love that first picture of the girl w...I absolutely love that first picture of the girl with the kitten!

It can be a really tricky balance for sure - and one that, I find at least, is usually in a state of flux or that we need to readjust on a very regular basis.

If one doesn't plan to leave the house on a given day, putting them in the AM can work, but I've always personally been more of an evening curls/pin curls/rag curls fan myself. <br /><br />Absolutely! I really appreciate that autumn follows summer. The two are my favourite seasons and so parting ways with one to embrace the other, while bittersweet at times, isn't nearly as painful as if, say, summer turned into winter instantly (lol, though goodness knows it has tried that here in Canada before! :D).<br /><br />Many hugs & blissful summertime wishes to you and your family,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-49935671238568067022016-07-18T09:48:07.301-07:002016-07-18T09:48:07.301-07:00Same here!
