If you’ve got a thing for WASPy mid-century gals in loafers and knee socks, check out the tumblr Vintage Seven Sisters. While many of the images are from the 19th century, some depict modern girls audacious (or foolish) enough to be photographed while smoking.
Good find Christian, Hillary, Streep, Hepburn, Kennedy and Child among few others well known gals. The cold weather gear reminds me of a hard cover LL Bean catalog from early last century. Lastly, let us not forget the excellent taste exhibited by the girl’s choice of a Triumph.
Correct the Release Date on that LP to 1950:

Of interest is how popular archery and theatrics were at women’s colleges.
