“No man understands a deep book until he has seen and lived at least part of its contents.” -Ezra Pound


life:
From the May 19, 1947 Fashion feature – SPARE PARTS: By switching accessories, smart women change one dress into many. According to LIFE, “The basic dress costs $39.95, will suit any type of figure, can be worn for years.” This image ran with the following caption: “FOR COCKTAILS or dining out, a pair of bright-striped taffeta gloves and matching collar added to the plain black dress give it a dressed-up, party look.” (Nina Leen—The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images) #FashionFriday #NinaLeen #1940s
