I adore these sneak peek snaps into the day–to–day wear of the 1940’s!  Betsy Hatter does a lovely guest post for Retro Chick, so hop along and check it out.  ^ _ ^

Vintage Inspiration - Photo Archives

I want to use my guest post on Retro Chick to introduce you all to brilliant, under used online historical picture archives which everyone can access. These amazing resources are local newspapers picture archives. Many of the pictures in these collections are wonderful day to day snapshots of life from the 1940′s onwards (sometimes further back but those pictures are rarer). You come across pictures of people at work and children playing as well as people all dressed up in their best for royal visits and official openings. You can see what people were really wearing and use the images to help put together your own style….

xox,
