More odes to my grand parents.
Raised after WWII we were thought that to be clean was our only asset.
New clothes are beautiful, but old, clean clothes make you look better.
Older fashioned clothes were designed ti fit properly plus they were made out of pure fabric, cotton, silk, wool, linen.
Newer fashions are cut the same for everyone. Smaller shoulders, bigger waists. Plus they are are all mixed fabrics.
Fashion is now bulk established for mess marketing.
An old, tailored, well kept suite is still distinguished among the crowds.
Old, clean and ironed is classy.
New, sloppy looking and wrinkled is trashy.
The elderly thought us right. Your house and your clothes show who you are inside.Strong character people make strong statements through their living spaces and their clothing. They always look neat and clean. They are achievers
Do it yourself is the message to pass along. Get an old suite, change buttons on it, add a scarf and make a new snazy outfit out of it. An outfit that no one else but you has. Only because you did it yourself and it is YOU
