My rebellious years were surpassed only by my awkward years. Is there a single picture of my youth where I am NOT sporting a flight suit or winged hair? It all went to hell for me with that first Dorothy Hamil do. <br /><br />But I will concede that to archive the pictoral of my dorky youth would also hide the treasures like the pink-dressed Korea photo,with my hand on dad's knee, which is warming my heart this morning.<br /><br />ps- we always had brown shoes, the STAS uniform required itJulienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146073139129271180.post-21265039963600258942011-01-20T11:07:31.706-08:002011-01-20T11:07:31.706-08:00Oh my heavenly stars.

How the hell did mom find time to get dressed up and tease her hair with all those munchkins?!<br /><br />And the flightsuits. Dude, say what you will, but Julie clear <i>is</i> rocking that one piece, look at her Olan mills pose! And the collar? The feathered hair wings? We have a winner. As for your green jumper? It's alright, but you've got nothing on Ann's coral gauchos. Poor MB is so deep in the shadows you can barely see her! So mysterious. And speaking of shoes, there must have been a sale on brown loafers at the Bass outlet. <br /><br />Great post, El!<br /><br />xo<br /><br />JacquieMe, You, or Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13159195620327366257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146073139129271180.post-12916404998150097242011-01-20T10:37:20.704-08:002011-01-20T10:37:20.704-08:00Tami, actually they were called jump suits (Ellie ...Tami, actually they were called jump suits (Ellie labeled them flight suits) and they were very fashionable....

So vouge. Are they a size 10? Do you stil have them?<br /><br />You are possibly the most adorable 3rd grader *ever*, Ellie. Really. <br /><br />Gotta love a shoebox of unfiled treasures.

I went through a "hating my neck" phase in 3rd-5th grade and loved chokers and scarves, so a dress that combined the choker in the ensemble?! perfect!<br /><br />I must say that I'm always fascinated by the pictures, including my own family's, where some girls have hit puberty and others have not. The adolescent girls seem decades older than the rest of the gang, just by virtue of their body. They also appear 10 feet taller...and yet, might end up being shorter than their siblings once everyone finishes growing. The flight suit photo speaks for itself!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing!wants a smiley dress and choker in PAnoreply@blogger.com
