I was working on a collage with my friend, Kat, the other week and as I was scouring the pages of some old National Geographics I kept finding incredible photos of cute little kids in the best clothes. Sometimes I really think kids have the best style and clothing to choose from! A lot of it is that perfect school-uniform style, with the great oxford and sock combination and wooly plaid skirts and navy cardigans. Plus, the little girls have the cutest hair cuts. It probably has to do with the fact that most of these are from the pages of National Geographics dating back to the late 1940s and 1950s, but I've been pretty inspired by them! I have to say my favorite part of all of their outfits, though, is definitely their little leather backpacks. I think they're just about as perfect as can be. I'm always on the lookout for backpacks like these when I go to vintage stores and what-not, but never seem to find them. I wonder where they all went...maybe they were all dragged through the mud one too many times and filled with too many heavy school books to make it!
All photos scanned by me from old National Geographic issues; photographers credited when known. Unfortunately, some of the photos had been cut out for collages and I was unable to obtain the photographer information. All images copyright National Geographic Society.

so good! my parents recently THREW AWAY their whole collection of National Geographics that dated back to 1954! I actually cried and yelled like a 5 year old!
Wow, these are amazing! I love that they are set in Edinburgh too.
