What I Wore: In High School


While preparing for the big garage sale last week, I took a trip down memory lane.  When I cleaned out my closet.

Yes, a few very important articles of clothing were stuffed at the very back.  And I couldn't help myself.  I just had to play dress up.

Item number one, my senior prom dress.

Then........

Theme:  Bed of Roses by Bon Jovi (you do the math)

Now.........


Dyed to match everything.  Good times.  Those were the days.

Yes, I wore my prom dress outside.  Luckily, no neighbors were lurking about.  And the mister was gone.  Self-timers are awesome.

Next up, my favorite top, purchased especially for my senior pictures, complete with shoulder pads.

Then.......


Now........


I really tried to recreate the pose.  Only I didn't have a director's chair.

I wish I had a fog machine.

And big hair.

Like I said, those were the days.




Linking up with The Pleated Poppy and Rolled Up Pretty!

  5. Fun stuff! And you still fit into everything so that's just awesome! Looks like you might want to plan a date night with the mister.

  6. I can't believe you can still fit in your high school gown! I would be ripping off my gown if I ever try to wear it now. You still look like the same as before...just better now. :)

  11. Such a great post! Hang onto all those pieces... you will be able to wear them to 80s and 90s parties. Or someday or kids will be able to wear them to those parties!

  12. Wow! First off so cool that you can still wear stuff from high school. Secondly you still look amazing in both items, although perhaps not on trend. ;) Except for the cobalt blue which is very much in at the moment.

  17. Love everything about this post! Although, I am a little concerned you didn't put your blue hose on for the photo now. I know you still have those. ;) XOxo!

  18. Oh my gosh! That was my prom dress too. No joke! Mine was purple - yours looks a little more blue in the photo. 1993? My mother tried to talk me out of it and go for a floor-length green one that I could have worn to a million other things. NO. I was stuck on the purple one. I couldn't fit into it today even if it was still in my possession. You look great!

  19. It's really amazing how all of this stuff recreates itself and comes right back in style. Had I known that, I would've kept everything in my closet..
