I've been a little obsessed with these pictures the last few days so I just had to share...
Aren't they just wonderful!? I love Marilyn Monroe, but these pictures of Norma Jeane before she became Marilyn are the ones that inspire me the most. Look at those white shorts and that bikini! I'm now officially on the hunt for a 1940s bikini!
I love these, it's really interesting seeing her looking so yound and fresh-faced. Some pretty wonderful styles she's sporting too. I love the first image especially.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pictures! I would love a bikini like that <3
ReplyDeleteWow, this is a wonderful collection of pics! Such a sweet girl. Not to mention great fashion inspiration!

I love the outfit in the first photo. I think I smell a new sewing project!
ReplyDeletetis a shame she dyed her hair. She was a cutie.
ReplyDeleteI love the second one so much! They make me want to play tennis :p

She is so lovely. It's funny--she kind of reminds me of you (in these photos, at least!).
ReplyDeleteit's so funny how much her look changed over the years! gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I think she didn't need the nosejob...
ReplyDeleteThese photos of Norma are so sweet, she was such a 'girl next door' type before the transformation into Marilyn. I too prefer her style and look her, just seems more approachable and fun!
ReplyDeleteindeed, I also prefer her young looks - so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThese are so perfect! A few I haven't seen before (which is really fun to find Norma Jean pics that I haven't seen; I've been hunting them down for years online!). I just adore her white suspender shorts; I am so tempted to go buy some twill to make a pair for myself. lol.
