I love looking at vintage photographs. They’re little snapshots of times gone by, and the people who lived in them so well and so fully, and glimpses into the pasts of our parents, grandparents, and beyond of what they might have been like before we knew them as “older.”

If you love them, too, you’re going to want to scroll through this list of 12 vintage images that are undeniably cool.

12. There is nothing wrong with this entire photo.

Her expression, her gaze, those jewels…AHHH.

11. The inspiration for Napoleon Dynamite?

If not, what a coincidence!

10. That hair.

No way you could miss it was from the 80s.

9. Wow, this is totally classic.

I love her hair.

8. She was a bombshell.

Hollywood should have come calling.

7. That fierce stance.

Don’t mess with this lady.

6. Her style is killer.

This woman has it all.

5. Vintage sorority girl.

She definitely had her pick of beaus, I bet!

4. What a fantastic smile.

I want to hear her stories.

3. I bet she won him over.

I hope a lifetime of fishing was their future.

2. Just beautiful.

Some parts of the 60s would have been fun to visit.

1. Right before her life was about to change.

That dress is fire.

 

I could look at pictures like these just all day, y’all. But then again, I just love nostalgic stuff. I wish I could be transported back to these times… if only for a week or two.
