Today’s post inspiration. A 1950s fashion trend, gingham 🖤⚪️
.
.
.
The #themagnificent8 influencer group agreed upon the fashion theme the year you were born. Nothing moved me for “Back in 1955.” Nevertheless, I chose gingham, an old-fashioned, charming, eye-pleasing print I rock every summer.
.
.
Scroll to the end to read about what the world looked like “ back in 1955.”
Did you see the average cost of a home? $9000 The average yearly income 😳 $4,137
.
.
Fun facts about me that relate to my birth year:
I ❤️ old TV Westerns like Gunsmoke and Rifleman
I still ❤️I Love Lucy
I 🖤 Film Noirs and Suspense Mysteries like Alfred Hitchcock
