for you have outgrown who you once were in your skin.
Out of all this, is born the raw, real,
and unfinished self who is on the journey of becoming.
When the seasons lose their old selves just as winter turns to spring
with the moments tenderly unfolding just as dawn heralds the end of the night.
― Jayita Bhattacharjee
A vintage fashion hstory illustration from 1904. The drawing shows two Edwardian ladies out for a walk around town in their warm winter coats and fur stoles. The street seems empty of any hustle and bustle, and the two women seem content to browse the nearby shops in a leisurely manner.
This black and white engraving is from my personal collection of antique La Mode Illustrée magazines.
