It turns out all you need to travel back in time is the right outfit — at least for guests at the St. Barbara Ladies Philoptochos Society's Women and Fashion Thru the Decades fashion show March 11 at Michaels On East. 

Some guests committed fully to the theme, coming in their raddest patterns and niftiest accessories to honor of the theme of the day. 

Although not all eventgoers came in costume, everyone was excited to have a swell time cruising through the decades.
