Another childhood dress nostalgia post…..

I’ve been ‘attic’ again (ha ha do you get it?)

sometimes….I even make myself laugh.

I wore this dress when I was 9,  oh dear I have just realised… that makes it 41 years old 

“wow Mum thats really old” said the 12 year old.

I have no idea why it has survived, at the time I was not fond of this dress, it was always very hot and prickly to wear.

The pic is of me wearing it whilst on a visit to friends in Herne Bay.

That was “Auntie’ Jill and Fiona her daughter.

 Jill was very glamorous, she was a dancer.

I think this dress would not look out of place in Orla Kielys ss14 collection….

………at least my new ‘Orla kiely’ shoes that I have had for weeks and still have not worn due to weather conditions, would still go nicely with this dress……? 

what do you think?

….shame its too small now….because with hindsight I adore this little outfit.

Red and cream should always be seen

Happy days….

Bestest
