Memory Lane Flares

I was taken on a little trip down memory lane when I saw Vix's post about her fabulous psychedelic creation..

She looks amazing, right?!

She used that pattern in the middle..
Even copied the hair.
AND she has the same figure as that model..
You could have been a 70s pattern model Vix!

Anyway, when I was in my last year of school, my Mum asked me what I wanted her to make for my Prizegiving outfit (like Graduation)

I flicked through her stash of patterns
and chose 
THE VERY SAME!!

She made it for me..
She was awesome like that.
And I wore it proudly.
Clashing wildly with all my friends of course.
(It was 1992, and OP Shop Stylez were NOT in vogue!!! I lived in 60s/70s op shopped clothes.)
Wish I had a full length shot. The shoes were red soft leather platforms from the op shop.

Fun!

Happy Days!!!

Oh, I love your pant suit! Too fun! Old photos are the best! And you nailed Vix for sure -- she could so be a 1970s model! LOL. Lovely post!

XOXO

oh yes, I remember the pant suits. I was wearing them in the 70's. If I remember rightly the suit was in aqua. I felt so cool. I think yours was much prettier.

Vix said...

Oh my gawd! How freaky is that?! Your Mum created a masterpiece and you looked amazing - a heck of a lot better than your 1992 classmates, the Nineties fashions were bloody awful! You haven't changed a bit! xxx
