The 1930’s … have you ever tried imagining yourself during that time? For the ladies, fashion seemed so regal … so glamorous. I mean, let’s not forget this was the time when King Edward VIII relinquished his reign over the United Kingdom to be privileged in his love with Wallis Simpson, a fashion icon in her own right at the time. And, let us also not forget The Great Gatsby, written by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald, that was a novel read at the time (pun intended), but also played a role in propelling sophisticated, vivacious, and sometimes subtle flirtatious couture that embodied the 1930’s.
This may give imagination to fashion and life of a lady in society. But, what about a teenager starting towards a journey of self-identity? If you haven’t already, you should follow this blog, Transcribing Memory, and peek at it every once in a while.

I hope so because you won’t be disappointed with the sweetest excerpts this blog sprinkles around … sharing a time already gone, and for most forgotten altogether. I know for myself, I enjoy the pocket of time in my day where I can just imagine myself in her world 🙂
