I'm more 1953 than 2023

I do love those dresses. They remind me of my mother. She looked so pretty in her coral shirtwaist dress!

My aunt wore them with a big wide brimmed straw hat.

My mother did wear pants sometimes (when we were sledding)!

Just think of how far we've come.  Sad isn't it?  We have all sorts of innovations to make us seem smarter but we look a lot dumber.

SAD!!  ARE WE BETTER FOR THIS CHANGE.  JUST ASKING.

Well now...doesn't that just say it all right there. No words needed!

Love the dresses. 💕

I wore those and looked like that in 1953!

My mom didn't dress like that.  I think she maybe had two shirtwaist dresses.  She was either more dressed up in a suit or another style of dress, or was in pants or shorts otherwise.  No t-shirt ever in her life. 

She was "a WAC who wore slacks!"

Pretty sure the people on the right are kids.

The people on the left may look pristine, but they hid a dark underbelly. 1953 was not good to people who were different than the cultural "ideal" represented on the left. Good riddance to the fakery and bigotry of those days.

I know a lot of young women and none of them wear clothing like that 2023 photo. A lot of them wear athleisure wear and leggings with cute tops. 

I was born in 1953. My mom didn't wear shirtwaist dresses. She wore shorts and pedal pushers in the summer and pencil skirts with a sweater in the Winter...first on the block to wear pants too. She was a real fashion plate,🥰
