This is the way ladies wore clothes when I was young. My mom, for one. No, we were not well off , but she knew how to choose wisely.
yes, same for my mom but she always had those shear scarves over her teased up hairstyle so the breeze didn’t mess it up!
(not well off either)
We were lower middle class but my mother had half a dozen hats (in hat boxes) and wore gloves and a dress when leaving the house. That’s how you dressed.
This is the way women in Europe (British Isles excepted) dress. They aren’t at all afraid to be feminine and attractive to men. The only problem with Brits is they tend to overdo the makeup and they drink to get drunk like their men. Just my opinions based on a lot of travel in Europe and the fact that I really like looking at women. :-)
Way back decades ago, women dressed with such class and lovely taste. For the most part, they were a lot thinner than women are today, and they looked lovely in stylish dresses, skirts, and heels, even just going shopping. And most did it not being wealthy, just being middle class, working poor, etc. Thinking of my own mother, my dad a three-striper in the Air Force, yet mom always looked lovely.
