I’ve wanted to visit this blast from the past for a long time. At least several decades probably. I graduated high school when Charlie perfume, Earth shoes, and the Bee Gees (their second time around) were big.
I wore this skirt for my high school senior picture and also on stage for my role in our drama class’s spring production.
Yes, that’s a grainy profile picture of me wearing the skirt, complete with upside down glasses. Yes, they really were a thing back then.
I’ve kept that skirt through several moves and decades because I always loved the floral pattern and couldn’t part with it.
A few weeks ago when I considered what to wear to meet my besties from that long ago time (check out this link if you want to find out more about them), I pulled out that skirt, pulled it up to my chest, and paired it with a little chambray shirt. It worked!
Here I am present day.
The shocking part to this story isn’t that I kept the skirt for decades (I hang onto things I love). No, the shocking truth is that the elastic didn’t dry rot!
You might also be shocked that I wore this outfit in public–to dinner and then to my book club discussion, but I did. Sorry, not sorry!
I love this story so much!
Tell me something that you love or something that will surprise me or people who know you. I’m looking forward to your story.
