Taken in 1949, look at that romper! And those shoes!
Grandma and some friends in the slammer
Here she is with her friend, I love their outfits, especially my grandmas jeans.
My grandma told me that this was taken on the way back from the Seattle worlds fair, at Multnomah Falls. I love this photo so much because she's wearing red keds, to match her red dress, and a darling red headband. I am now on a mission to recreate the look, just need all of the above!
Hope you enjoyed these photos, you can see my first post on my grandma with more photos here. Next time I do a family photo post it will be of photos from the 1930s of various family members, there's some really cute ones!

Love the slammer photo!
love this! <3
these photos are marvelous!!! i love the way everyone's dressed....and especially love the slammer photo, too!! very cool that you still have these. xoxo
Everything is so cute! I love that it's all authentic vintage too, not that recreated vintage that you can buy at the mall and then distress your photo in photoshop.
Your Grandma had style! I love the first photo :)
Very stylish indeed! I love the shirtwaist and Keds combo. I'll be resurrecting that look as soon as I get the stains out of my white Keds/ Sigh.
These all photos are really wonderful in these there are so many things which is really great. I love this photo so much because she's wearing red keds, to match her red dress. These all are really very wonderful.
I love these photos. So stylish :)
Oh, these photos are just lovely!
Your grandma's romper reminds me really much of a girl's romper I came across at Etsy some time ago:

I'm very much intrigued by the pic of your gran and her girlfriend -- the eyebrows! I somehow thought everyone did a really thinly plucked arch back in the day, but -- no! That's good news, since I look really goofy with thin eyebrows. I love the whole look, especially your gran's bangs.
You've no idea how I struggle not to "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!" when I see you did a post on old pictures, people looked soooooooooooo much better those days!
I'm a little confused though, is she the blond one on the photo's with her friend?
These are amazing! Makes me want to post more of my own (unfortunately, I don't have quite so many good quality ones) - those jeans really are great!

oh how very very exciting!!
by the way, she seemed to have been such a very fun person!
Amazing.
You can see the family resemblence.
Oh my gosh! These are too fabulous! I LOVE the first and last pic to pieces. Heck, I love them all!
awh, soooo lovely!!! clearly you inherited her awesome style :)
Wow, I can see so much of your grandma's face in yours!
That last photo - if you hadn't told us, I would've thought it was you in a cleverly distressed snapshot.
Yay old photos!
Jennifer ^_^
wowee! I can see where you get your style from!!!
The photos are all great! I especially noticed your grandma's bangs and ponytail; she looks a lot like jazz/big band singer June Christy, who was popular in the
40s and 50s and who was well-known for that hairstyle. Aside from the music, which is wonderful, the covers of such June Christy albums as "Something Cool," "June Fair and Warmer," "Gone for the Day," "Duet" (with Stan Kenton on piano) and "The Cool School" show the hairdo and some charming 50s styles!
You look so much like your grandmother! Apperently I act a lot like my grandmother. Theres a picture of her sticking her tongue out at the camera. Yeah... Thats me...

Her outfit in the last picture is really cute. And is that a box camera she's holding? So neat!

You have the best family photos ever!

These are fabulous photos - real treasures. I am having fun going through some of mine as well. Gals were really stylin' back then. Thanks for sharing!
What fun photos to have of your grandmother! Love the dungarees & bangs photo and the red ensemble photo! :)

Piia, that one is like my grandmas!
Anais, yes, people always seemed to look so much cooler ;)
The blond is my grandma in the photos with her friends :)
I'm envious of their perfect styled hair. What they must think of our messy wanna have bed hair looks.
They just seem like to glamorous girls, that i would have loved to have hung out at the malt shop with :)
