Except for that particular Kodachrome glow, these could have been taken yesterday, not 53 years ago. I saw a young lady in an almost identical capri pants/no sleeve blouse outfit in the mall last night. Eventually everything comes around again I suppose. Except, let's hope, those alternative pants we saw you and your brother in.
