Last year House Crazy Sarah featured photos of Victorian era Christmas trees. This year she’d like to fast forward a few decades to look at some snapshots of mid-century women posing by their Christmas trees.
These old photos are great because not only do we get to see some vintage women’s fashion, we also get a peek into the décor of the times.
Look at these matching silver foxes:
What House Crazy Sarah really loves about these photos is that they are actual pictures of real women, not posed magazine photos like this silly one below:
No, these are the real deal, plucked from family photos albums from the 1950’s through the 1970’s.
They show everything from Edna in her house dress…
To Phyllis in her fashionable cone bra:
To Janelle in her cute bloomer shorts…
Here’s Bonnie in her silky green taffeta dress:
