This post is dedicated to my good friend, Lynn, for a couple of reasons. First, because when I recently mentioned dressing up as a British schoolboy for Halloween back in 1983 or 1984, she asked to see a photo. Second, because it is her wedding anniversary! And third, because I think Halloween is Lynn's favorite holiday. And so, without further ado, here are some blasts from the past.
P.S. Happy Anniversary to you and Dave!
Halloween, 1977. |
It's an interesting experience, wearing a hoop skirt. I really don't know how those Southern belles got around in them. At least I didn't have to wear a corset, chemise and pantalettes underneath.

And last, but not least...
Halloween 1981 |
I wish I still had that handbag! It was faux leopard. Soft and furry!
Lynn, I couldn't find the "British schoolboy costume" photo. It must have gotten lost or tossed at some point. I hope you enjoyed these pics instead.
I wish everyone a Happy (and safe) Halloween!
Love, love, love the photos! The Dress is fantastic. And are you sporting a beehive in the 1981 photo? Looks good!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the dedication! Yes, Halloween is my favorite holiday, but I'm not even in costume today -- too cold at the house to pull out all (okay, any of) the stops!
Love the photos Sandra! You look cool as Scarlett. That's a beautiful dress, your Mom and Dad look mighty fine on prom night. I think I had a dress almost like that, only blue..you've got me wanting to search for the photo now.
ReplyDeleteWow the leopard outfit is pretty darn cute as well.
Hi, Barbara--Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteWhen you find that photo of your blue dress, I definitely want to see it. I love that kind of stuff!
I wish I still fit into these outfits! I had that leopard dress for years and years...
Sandi, you looked so fantastic in the leopard dress. I recall we spent many an afternoon finding treasures in the attic. Those were some great times.
ReplyDeleteSusanne--Thank you for visiting! We did have some great times, didn't we?
ReplyDeleteI think the leopard purse belonged to my mom. She commented the other day that there was a belt that went with it (I think I remember that too!) and a beret (don't remember that).
XOXO
So cute...
ReplyDeleteComing around to visit late
but still enjoying the grins:)
Hope Novemer is a beautiful time
for you, friend,
Jennifer
Hi, Jennifer--Thank you for your sweetness and your visit!
ReplyDeleteI wish you a lovely November, too, filled with warmth of the hearth.
XOXO
Sandra
Thank you for sharing such fun pictures! Love the leopard!
ReplyDeleteCheri, I saw that you left a comment--but blogger doesn't seem to have accepted it.
ReplyDeleteBut I will say thanks for dropping by, and glad you liked the leopard!
