I remember walking a half mile during IL college, in snow to go somewhere that I needed to be dressed up for, with stockings and dress shoes...but it was definitely a fast walk.

Look at those BUTTONS on Leta's coat. Wonder if they were mink or squirrel...LOL!! I'm betting those Gals came up with the 'Designs' on the back of their coats as a 'protest' of some sort...they look like Rebellettes!

The 1920's were, in their own way, much like the '60's in that they were a time for breaking free from tradition. The pictures on the coats could have simply been a fad of those particular girls - or perhaps those particular college students. On the other hand, the fad might have been more widespread than that. However, I've never seen anything like them before. Too bad they weren't explained.La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-74593221759039227602014-01-24T11:14:37.350-05:002014-01-24T11:14:37.350-05:00Oh what style and grace, so very stunning.
