This was my Mom in the 60s. It it typical of how she would dress for going shopping at the commissary...don't think we were rich. No furs or elegant gowns, but she sure as heck wasn't going to join the "people of Wal-mart"!

What a lovely picture. No she didn’t. But my point is within everyday activities people were civilized, private and carried themselves with a dignity, and this was reflected in their dress, mannerisms and demeanor.

That’s one classy lady! Thanks for the post. I remember aspiring to look decent when going out. I took pride in my appearance. I’ll never understand this “poverty chic” look. Those who were truly poor tried under sometimes trying circumstances to look their best when stepping out. I see trashy people everywhere now. I remember once reading that in a sense the president is the one person distillation of the American people. I’m beginning to believe it. God help us!

That’s why my mom never wanted to go shopping. She was born in 1920.

Beautiful lady!
