“I’m wearing an 80s blazer, 90s gold harem pants, reworked 90s boots, 30s beaded bag, and a gold turban. My style is inspired by all things vintage. I love bringing past beautiful items back to life and styling them in a current way.”

"Wilting like daisies and Hopping like fish, students at Barnard College in New York fill a college requirement in relaxation. Having found that too many students are too tense, Barnard has inaugurated a session in relaxation in its Physical Education Department which every freshman must attend."
Photos 1 and 2: "The mandatory relaxation class at Barnard College included this “dropping daisy” exercise which was done in seven steps, moving in a slow progression from standing tall to laying on the floor."
Photo 4: "Flopping fish exercise consists of rotating hips, then falling limp. Professor Marion Streng (foreground) helps student."
Photographed by Walter Sanders for the February 8, 1954 issue of LIFE Magazine.
