>I just absolutely love the profile picture of this woman, probably taken in the early 1940s. Her hair is so perfect, and she looks so put together but in a natural way. I am guessing she’s not that young but more middle aged, and I only hope I can age as gracefully as she has. I find her absolutely beautiful. I love the blouse she’s wearing as well- in my head it looks like a blue linen with white stripe, though it could be any color, really.
I hope you have a lovely weekend!
