Yep. That's the title. Wanna guess the publish date? 1951. Knowing my inordinate love of all things vintage, my dear mother got me this book for Christmas. I saved it for my Sunday afternoon reading and I just finished it this past Sunday afternoon. And now I'm going to show it to you.
First of all, I took pictures of the inside of the book, so you get an idea of what it's like:
 |
See? The book tells you comfortingly that glasses can, too, be attractive, if you carefully
read their chart. |
 |
| This caption says, "Even housewives need to take care of their hands!" |
 |
| Properly applying foundation. |
 |
| Necklines depending on your face shape. |
I love books like these-books that are simply for the purpose of providing a window into another time, the purpose of inspiration. This kind of reading is what I call Sunday Afternoon Reading, also known as inspiration reading. Sunday Afternoon Reading is generally nonfiction, usually filled with pictures, always chock full of inspiration for the coming week. I don't normally read for the sole purpose of getting good ideas or just for enjoying something for its prettiness. Books normally have to hold something more for me, but not on Sunday afternoons. That is when I pick up books just because they're pretty and inspiring and fun. And while I wouldn't love to read like that all the time, it's actually very lovely to have that one day a week set aside where I do read like that.
