Fall College Fashions
I was searching randomly for fall fashion photos when I ran across this old college fashion spread from Life Magazine. I love how all of the models look like real college students rather than fashiony models. My favorites are the velvet dress (probably for her sorority's formal, right?) and the girl balancing along the curb. Can I have her outfit from head to toe?!
Hello little lady!

I really love old photos of college students. I think college is a time when people really come into their own in terms of style. I have some old yearbooks from my college and the clothing is also fantastic -- not to mention the confidence on these young women's faces! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletewow, these are great! I kind of wish college kids still dressed like this, versus the vulgarities I am forced to contend with on campus day to day.

Oh man, I WANT that velvet dress. It is just perfect. The girl balancing also has a really wonderful outfit. I too wish college students still dressed like this, rather than pajama pants and ugg boots and college sweatshirts. Yuck. I've always loved this old fashioned college style.
ReplyDeleteOh and how cute is the girl with the coat over her head? She looks the most like a regular girl to me and I love it.
ReplyDeleteOh I love all of them! So wonderful! Thank you for posting them!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a glorious weekend!

Perfect Fall inspiration, love all the hats!
ReplyDeleteI want a velvet dress so much!
ReplyDeletethose are so classy! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely, honest photos. That woman in the velvet dress looks so sophisticated and glamorous. And their shoes...
ReplyDeleteit always shocks me how much better people dressed back then. It's sad how bad the general population looks these days.
ReplyDeletegreat pics!
That vintage buffalo plaid coat has my heart all a flutter. What fabulous photos. So glad you shared.
ReplyDeleteSome of your vintage obsessions are cute but some just make you look like a grandma.
ReplyDeleteI love the balancing girl, but that plaid coat is stunning. Wow. Great, now I'm going to be dreaming of perfectly drafted plaid coats when it's 100ยบ outside. *sigh*
