We haven’t posted a vintage Pretty Gritty in a while, so lets take a walk back in time to 194? to the Portland neighborhood. I wonder what you had to do to win the popularity contest? Great variation of dresses, none the less. 

Thanks to the UofL Photo Archives.

More often than not, people’s street style make us think of song or book titles. We’d like to introduce this as an ongoing addition to each post. For an outfit that inspires a song, we’ll post the song under Walkman (in reference to the portable cd players we used to haul our tunes with), or Dust Jacket (in reference to a book covering). Chime in if you have differing thoughts on what an outfit conjures up in your brain. 

Today’s first go around:

Should we call the blog the Gritty Gritty for the next few days? We have some great, gory shots from the annual Zombie Attack coming up. Watch your brains!
