Vintage Photos

This picture is my grandmother's friend Joy
arriving at the Canoe Lake Station in 1948.

If you missed my initial post, here are the instructions again.

- The subject line of the email should read "Vintage Photo"

- The photos will only be posted here on the blog, so the file size can be very small (no bigger than 700kb). I DO NOT need hi-res images, they take too long to download.

- Writing a little something about the image you send will make your entry much more interesting for all of us.

- Email your photos to: sartorialistvintagephotos@gmail.com

beautiful picture! Funny to see that her outfit from back then is now back in style.

 

Blogger Katarina Kühl ~ PencilFashion said ... (10:06 AM) : 

she looks wonderful!

 

Anonymous Portia said ... (10:18 AM) : 

Was dressing always a pleasure back then? Or was it a pain to look your best always? Or were the clothes you bought simply just always tailored to look fine on people so as a result you could never really look anything but pulled together?

What panache! There are some women who just have that undefinable presence. And in my opinion, this lady is one of them!

 

Blogger Sandy Scott said ... (10:32 AM) : 

With so many of these photos, I would love to see photos of the people later in life, to see how they have carried their sense of style into their more mature years!

Absolutely charming. I love the effortless chic of the oversized shirt and the scarf used as a belt.

Vintage photos seem to take on a life of their own. I can imagine this woman's playful, spontaneous personality through this beautiful candid snapshot.

This is what I always hope to look like when at the lake in the Adirondacks. I love the light colors, with the scarf as a belt - so simple, and so chic.

I also love her ingenuity in carrying her suitcase!

 

Blogger Linda Z said ... (1:20 PM) : 

Adorable and such a great smile! I would absolutely wear this outfit now... it's classic! :)

Makes me think of Catherine Hepburn, same briskness, same classic looks. Great idea to ask readers to send in vintage photos!

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (5:01 PM) : 

This is a woman who certainly had just not style but sex appeal - why do I say that ? because she is smiling and guys just like women love to look good and laugh

 

Anonymous Conni, Denmark said ... (5:02 PM) : 

What a great smile - it makes you smile yourself! ;-)

 

Blogger elisa said ... (5:37 PM) : 

How amazing does she look! Relaxed tailoring is so sexy, and the long scarf brings a great bohemian touch.

Her charisma explodes from the photograph. And she is clearly happy to be on vacation. Radiant smile, knockout figure and chic, practical glad rags!

 

Blogger Mary said ... (7:48 PM) : 

Looks so much like Ingrid Bergman! Happy smile, nice shorts and shirt - and look at that suitcase being carried in such an unusual way! The late forties after WW2 were such great times - and I was there, but just a baby, lol!

Still hoping to see my vintage photo here - sent some time back - my mum and her twin brother in their very English thirties clothes!

Thanks, Mary

 

Anonymous vintage engagement rings said ... (8:15 PM) : 

I truly love your vintage photos... what a smile!

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (12:29 AM) : 

So easy and elegant and her name is perfect for her. What would a holidaying young woman canoeist wear now? Nylon mesh baseball cap, loud t shirt, unflattering cargo shorts? Not many tiny waists left either. I shall start my situps immediately, review my scarf collection for summer and think joyfully!

I love these vintage photos, I also love fashion and have started my own blog about my fashion illustration over the summer. I would love some feedback and some (fair) crit on my work.

Style never die.

 

Anonymous FeeFee said ... (1:37 PM) : 

I love her expression!

The only thing is, it might be the fit of her clothes, but she seems to have very odd proportions. Broad shoulders and a VERY small waist? It might simply be that she's very thin but strong. Either way, love the outfit even if there's a bit of awkwardness in it.

 

Anonymous Maryanne said ... (2:55 PM) : 

love the classic ease of this outfit.
using a scarf as a belt..splendid.
women had their 'own natural' faces back then...which was beautiful.
something the 'botox generation' could learn a lesson from.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (5:31 PM) : 

I have been in search for a shirt like that. So versatile, so easy, so light. I'm jealous!

 

Blogger lollipop4598 said ... (6:15 PM) : 

It really is amazing how well much of the vintage styles fir in today. She looks great. And she has very toned legs.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (7:45 PM) : 

I suspect that a lot of these stylish people didn't have closets stuffed with outfits, but the few they did have were chosen with care and treasured. What a delightful shot. Joy is aptly named.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (6:59 AM) : 

She looks like Lauren Bacall, so elegant and confident.

 

Blogger Eline said ... (3:52 AM) : 

She is looking amazing!
Funny to see how all the fashion trends are coming back from time to time.

 

Anonymous Helen said ... (8:50 PM) : 

I love that she was essentially wearing men's clothes, ala Katherine Hepburn, and doing it so sexily! She looks comfortable, free and full of life! Christian Dior's "New Look" was to come along in just a couple of years and drown this strong, independent look, replacing it with cinched waists, huge skirts, and frilly aprons. What a shame!

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (12:39 AM) : 

This is pure class! Wish I was her.
