She Was So American

I took these photographs below of posters outside at the Bay's department store's "women's clothing" floor. I'm not sure why they have it there, and the sales women were unable to tell me. But I was struck by the femininity and beauty of the dresses, which were worn by:
That woman [who is] always seen lunching at smart restaurants - charmingly aware of the interests she excites. She's the woman who has traveled, whose leisure allows her wide cultural activities. She throws her time and energy into drives for her favorite charities, she encourages the opera, the ballet, the symphony, art exhibits. She's the influence behind the fashions that have carried our designers' names around the world. She's so American.[Text from the bottom of one of the posters]
I looked around the floor, which was the "fashion" section of the store. But there is nothing comparable to these clothes! There are a couple of nice red winter coats, but the dresses that may compare are glittery and shiny, and only good for a holiday outfit, and now for New Years (if anyone will wear them, and I doubt there will be many who will).

What a long way we've regressed with femininity and beauty!
