I think this is either a 1940s photo or an early 1950s, whatever the age our happy couple posing for a photo on their comfest living room chair are doning some pretty fantastic fashions. From our husbands tie with an image on it to our lovely wifes zebra stripped shoes and cute heels, this couple knows how to dress.

Sometimes all you want to do is just sit in your favourite chair, read your favourite magazine (‘Home Craftsman’ for this dad) and not be bothered. Not even for a photo.

Well lucky for us, this moment in time in the 1950s was captured for us to all enjoy.
