Here we have two ladies from the 1930's sitting on a dock with a dog and what a charming example of the hair and fashions for older ladies of that era.
Bobs had become so popular during the previous decade of the 20's that women dashed to cut their hair short and rid themselves of the long and cumbersome floor length hair. One thing that I notice about this picture is the fact that these two look so happy, especially the one on the left. She has a great big smile. If you look at photographs from the early 1900's and prior of people, you notice that they rarely smiled. The 20's and 30's brought a sense of freedom for women and as a result the styles drastically changed.
Both of these women have curly bobs. One has left hers in a more natural fluffy state that is full of volume while the other has more defined curls with a side part. She has pulled the top flat and secured it so that ringlets dangle from the clip. One might think of Shirley Temple and her head of curls.
The 1930's were when shoulder pads were introduced for women's clothing. The ladies coat on the left boasts large examples of this fashion trend. Their shoes have heals and pointy toes. Let's just throw out what is comfortable and sensible and trade that for beauty.
