The couple who live like it鈥檚 the 1930s
Ruth Shelly and her husband Robert Oestmann may live in 2023, but you wouldn鈥檛 know it if you took a look at their lives.

The married couple from the West Midlands dress almost exclusively in 1930s attire, and have decorated their house with similar period pieces, including a 1936 wireless.

It was the perfect match, as both embraced the period style before they met.

Shelly, 29, explained how their lifestyle works, despite the 90 year time difference.

She said: 鈥淲e live in the modern world, we don鈥檛 hide away from it.
