Slips

Seems like only yesterday we were wearing slips on a regular basis. Not so now, as most women rarely have need of one. We can remember when slips of at least a few lengths would have been wardrobe must-haves.

Scarves

We remember when scarves were worn as headbands, over a hairdo to protect it, around the neck for a bit of color, or even tied to the handle of one’s purse. Long gone are the days when this little accessory was an everyday essential.
