I seem to start so many of these “retro” posts with the words, “When I was little…” that it was getting monotonous. So to break things up a bit–I’ll begin a bit differently. Here goes.
Back in my day–
Easter meant a couple of things. One, of course, was bunnies and baskets and tons of colored candy eggs. But what it also meant was a positively perfect pink or yellow or lilac sticky-out-y dress. They were fussy and stiff and scratchy, but that didn’t matter one tiny bit–because, as you can see, we also got a matching hat, and gloves and ruffly socks and a teeny, tiny, boxy, slightly ridiculous clasp purse to complete the ensemble.
But the down side was that back then, the whole wide world was entirely black and white.
Kind of a drag.
So glad this generation invented color.
Way to go.
Dang you were cute little kid! I don’t think I’ve ever seen that picture either. Love it 🙂
I agree with Jillian, you were a cute little kid. How fun that both girls in the family have the same birthday week! 😉
I’m a fan of the color thing too! 😉 Ha ha ha!
I love this picture… it the perfect representation of Easter Past! 😀
Happy Birthday Emily!!! *:D*
The spooky thing is that I actually remember this little “photo shoot.” That was a longggg time ago.
She’s really pretty too!
That dress was a pretty little baby pink with a satin bow at the back. Really scratchy though…
