Meet the Riefflins

Last weekend I went over to my Grandmother's house and I found a lovely surprise. Laying on her coffee table were scrap books of old photographs from when she first moved to Seattle in 1942 and when she met my Grandfather at Boeing. 

I wanted to share a little bit of my family history with all of you because I genuinely miss how young people dressed back then. Outfits weren't as lazily thought out as they are today. There was no north faces, Ugg boots, and juicy sweat pants. Instead there was fur jackets, tailored suits, trousers, and heels. 

Guys and girls take notes:
