I had one of those little hats with the netting that fell over the eyes. I had the long black gloves, and a whole collection of big-shouldered, shiny, glittery dresses with peplum. I loved it all at the time. I need to dig up some pictures from my mother's photo albums and show you!MomZombiehttp://www.mom-zombie.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078483744873792132.post-13584541712024784172010-01-20T13:30:49.588-05:002010-01-20T13:30:49.588-05:00Ha ha ha!

Just goes to show that I wasn't quite as smart in my 20s as I thought I was.<br /><br />And it has set me wondering...what favourite piece of clothing that is currently in my wardrobe and gets worn with affection will I be lambasting in 20 years time? I don't want to think about it too deeply in case I come up with some answers here and now and am unable to ever venture out of the house again.Nicolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07017352687163694581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078483744873792132.post-44259557345325109362010-01-20T02:59:12.581-05:002010-01-20T02:59:12.581-05:00I have a tube top (blue horizontal stripes) that I...I have a tube top (blue horizontal stripes) that I keep, not with the intention that I will ever again put it on, but just to serve as a reminder of things.

And, you STILL fit them. 2 kidlets later. :-))) That is quite something indeed.<br /><br />You are that bit younger than me, meaning that my dresses are classic MID 80s. Oh my giddy aunt. <br /><br />One day they'll all be back in fashion though!Dorset Dispatcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10457466586411004146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078483744873792132.post-22664118702099307212010-01-19T11:51:16.001-05:002010-01-19T11:51:16.001-05:00So...ah...how long is the teacher's list of ex...So...ah...how long is the teacher's list of excuses for not getting papers graded on time?

Good for you!" for fitting into your high school togs after all these years.<br />Also- the first dress really made me laugh because I have the SAME one!!! It's in dark blue satin and velvet, but has the same puffed sleeves and assymetrical waistline. I'm glad I kept it though, because my girls have found it very useful for Halloween costumes!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14141877537334176841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078483744873792132.post-6677156651563710672010-01-19T09:17:16.656-05:002010-01-19T09:17:16.656-05:00I LOVE throwing out crap.

It's like a good loofah salt scrub and makes me feel all clean and unburdened.<br /><br />And terrorist fist jab for still fitting into the prom dress after 15 years and 2 babies.

While we may look back and giggle at satiny swaths of fabric, at least we weren't completely exposed, with our boob and butt cleavage hanging out for the world to see. <br /><br />And, you know, my sister-in-law could make some pretty slamming outfits out of those cocktail dresses. Your loss just may be the gain of crafty sewers who find them at your local Good Will!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078483744873792132.post-54887903650503349592010-01-19T07:45:55.870-05:002010-01-19T07:45:55.870-05:00You look so lovely in that green!You look so lovely in that green!Laurenhttp://www.sparklingadventures.comnoreply@blogger.com
