It looks like these two silver haired women have just come from the beauty shop after their weekly wash and set, stopping in at a thrift store on their way home. My first reaction to this eBay slide was: “But they’re old…why are they interested in old clothes?” Then I remembered that I, too, am old and I also find it hard to pass a thrift store without looking.
These women appear quite prosperous, with their styled hair and nice winter coats. The one on the right, with silver cat eye glasses, has accented her white coat with black accessories. The one on the left wears a coat with a nice fur collar. Do you think that black and white dress she has in her hand would suit her? Perhaps she is eyeing it for her friend, since the colors match the other’s style. What I really want to know is just who took the picture.
I think this is a very high-end thrift store (boutique?). Some of the dresses appear to have a plastic dust protector over the shoulders. And I think these ladies are shopping the “special occasion” rack. Very frugal to shop at the thrift store for a garment that won’t see too much wear! (Not surprising, as these ladies grew up during the Depression.)
My thought exactly – this shop looks more Junior League than Goodwill!
