Thanks so much for commenting on my photo of the boy in Tenakee Springs, Alaska. My sister called him to my attention, and I zoomed all the way in to get the photo. All the children that we saw in the village were dressed in turn-of-the-century styles. I asked our guide about it, wondering if they were all from a certain philosophy, and he said they weren't dressed like that on weekdays, only on Sunday, and it was a Sunday.
@janeandcharlie Hmmm that's a really fascinating response from the guide. Really makes me wonder if it's a "thing" in the village. Aside from the hat, most of us growing up generally had "high waters" and/or what might appear as a "overall lack of fashion" because clothing wasn't necessarily easy to come by (well, ok, it was expensive because of getting it shipped in) so whatever we got we were stuck with until it wore out no matter how it looked or fit. And as a whole, we were a good several years behind the latest fashion trends. So, very interesting for me!
Thanks, Joe! Your explanation makes a lot of sense. Our guide was being more speculative than speaking with authority on the subject. The girls clothing was more prominent than this boy's. His beret seemed old fashioned though. We took no photos of the girls, unfortunately, but as close as I remember, they were somewhat like this: http://dressyp.com/list/modest-girls-dresses-16523/
Our guide was saying it was not unusual for the girls to wear pants on weekdays.
