One thing I always look forward to when visiting my grandma (who I call Mugga) is breaking out the old family photo albums. Not only do I look to take in the memories and learn about family members I've never met, more than anything else, I look at the clothes! Being the fashion -slash- history nerd that I am, I can't help but take in every detail of the silhouettes, fabrics, colors, and other style factors of the times. Besides, nothing speaks through pictures like an outfit; that's what tells the story, and gives the vibe of the time and place in which the photo was taken. Looking at these old pictures I can tell how smooth my great-grandfather was, or how classy my grandma has always been. I can only hope the pictures my grandkids and great-grandkids find of me will be as intriguing.
