Today's quote:
“I’m not an atheist. The problem involved is too vast for our limited minds. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many languages. The child knows someone must have written those books.”
Albert Einstein
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI am glad fashion has changed over the years. Take care, enjoy your weekend!
That selection today is excellent!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it!
Delete...I've never been a fashionable guy!
ReplyDeleteI find few men are...and those who are fashionable tend to either hide it in fear of being considered a "dandy" or they just indulge in a moderate amount.
DeleteThe 1920s fashions have stood the test of time rather more successfully than the Woodstock ones.
ReplyDeleteI actually thought bell bottoms would be coming back. Maybe I'm just not in the circles where fashionable clothes are worn any more.
DeleteThat Einstein quote must mean that he was an agnostic because he sure wasn’t a theist.
ReplyDeleteGood guess!
DeleteFashion is such an odd thing. Happy to have reached an age where it's irrelevant. Comfort and utility, that's my mantra,
ReplyDeleteMe too, though I think only in school settings did I ever see women who were interested in it.
DeleteI love seeing vintage fashion photographs and you featured some choice examples. But I never expected to see an electric scooter in 1910 - I was always under the impression they were quite a recent invention.
ReplyDeletePretty amazing, wasn't it? And I wonder where the battery might have been!
DeleteI didn't know that electric scooters were around in 1910.
ReplyDeletePretty surprising!
DeleteWhile the late 60s outfit doesn't wow me, the others sure did!
ReplyDeleteThe clothing styles often will date an event which has no other defining characteristic.
DeleteThat scooter looks a lot like a seqway. (Did I spell that right?)
ReplyDeleteI'm not up on spelling, but you're right, the newer scooters are similar!
DeleteThat is a fun post! What a great idea. Love the fashions.

Thanks Jenn...appreciate your dropping by.
DeleteI had no idea the fashion of electric scooters went back to 1910!! (they're everywhere in my town now - and mostly in the way where they shouldn't be!)
ReplyDeleteI must not go to places where segways or scooters are being ridden.
DeleteA very interesting selection of images. I imagine that when modern vehicles like the electric scooter and the open cab taxi were introduced, women were forced to change fashions in order to wear clothing that was practical. Long dresses and large feathered hats would just not work.
ReplyDeleteThat scooter looks a lot like the ones all over town here. Enjoyed your selections!
ReplyDeleteHm - not sure why my comment appears as Anonymous. Maybe because I accidentally replied to Mike's comment? This is Kathy at abbieandeveline.
