I wish there was a way to see the inside of the old Vogues of that era–so lovely fashions! I was in a library once that had old boound volumes of Woman’s Day, etc., but haven’t seen anything like that in years now.
Some libraries still have magazine collections, but storage is such a problem, many put their collection on microfilm (in the olden days) and today they go digital.
Did you see Rachel Zoe’s Fall 2012 collection? Whatever one may think of Ms. Zoe, it had a lot that was pretty fab, and the plaid pantsuit with vest reaaaaally caught me. It’s the first look on this page:

Perhaps not quite as zippy as the red-and-gold number above, but very, very sharp!

I liked her collection, as it was very wearable. I’m always in favor of plaids and tweeds!
