Here’s a photo of one of the biggest fashion influences that I’ve had in my life. My late grandmother, Agnes. She was a woman of limited means yet still possessed an impeccable fashion sense. She brought sewing, style and creativity into my life. Here is a family photo taken in the backyard of their home in Philadelphia sometime in the 1950’s (my guess is ’53). I’m even willing to bet that she made that outfit herself which so elegantly goes with her pin curls. Love it! Who are your style influences?
