This weekend I found a huge 1949 Oregon State College yearbook for $1. There are pages upon pages of class pictures, but there are just some I chose to share right now!
I love finding old yearbooks, they give a little window into what young people really wore, but most of all I love the hair inspiration.

If you can work out the hairstyle for the lovely lady on the top right corner of the first photo, I hope you share! She stands out from the rest.
Ohhh so much wonderfulness!! I adore all the hairstyles.

This is fabulous! I completely agree with you about yearbooks - they really let you know women actually did their hair! What a fantastic resource. : )
Happy sewing!

They are all so cute! My favourite is the girl at the bottom of the photo below the photo of Marjorie. I love her glasses and curly updo. I wonder if you know any of their grandchildren?
Lovely! ...But what's with the dog?
You're right, looking at these photos is incredibly inspiring. The woman in the second large portrait is absolutely stunning! I think I stopped breathing for a second. Thanks for sharing :)
These are great- partially because they're from my home state but it's also fun to see so many faces and different hairstyles. I quite like them all and the dog (probably a mascot?) is a fun addition!
I enjoyed these pics, too. I have an album from the 1930's. It's easy to tell who was most popular and BMOC.
Very fun.
Those pictures are amazing ! The hairdo's are so beautiful. I'm going to try to make my hair look the same as in a few of the pictures, with pincurls and rollers, etc. Yearbooks really can be a source of hair-inspiration :)
Wow, that is so neat and it was only $1? Lucky duck. The men all look so handsome and I love the ladies' different hairstyles.
Love this! They are all so pretty, love their hair!
Love your handmade dress, so cute. I am getting ready to start learning how to sew I love 50's dresses.
