HUGE 1941 (in between stages in fashion that I love)
Fashion/interiors Magazine

IMG_2675 by you.


I was really excited to see this add
in the 1941 magazine
becasue at our local Walgreens
they still sell this pressed powder

How funny that I have always
had my eye on this powder

and an advertisement from the past
still did its magic

I bought it the next day
