Me in my heyday

I found this photo the other day. It’s me in the first long dress I ever wore. It was made for me from a shimmery white fabric.
I’m wearing my crystal necklace which I wrote about a while back. I was going to a St Patrick’s Day cabaret, my first formal dance. I remember Vince looking very dashing in a dinner suit. It’s a pity I couldn’t have stood up a bit straighter but them’s the breaks.

You look nice. I have never actually been to a formal dance. I did not go to my prom although I could have. I should have as I ended up breaking my wrist that night..

@sallypup I wasn't really crazy about the guy who asked me, but I should have gone..it would have been an experience!

@snowy22315 I'm sorry you broke your wrist. I never had that excuse on why I did not go to the prom or any other dance, either.

Oh my. I bet you were upset about missing your prom. What a shame.

You look very beautiful And you were mesmerized, no doubt, by Vince's dashing appearance!

You look really good there and I love the idea of wearing those kind of gloves and the bracelet on top of them.

@JudyEv
In England you only wore a long dress to a Wedding Reception usually.

Yes, we had long gloves and matching shoes - the whole works.

@lovinangelsinstead21 We had quite a few cabarets at the time and the crowd I mixed with attended them all. We had some great times.

Thank you for sharing the memory. It reminds me of the good old days when the Cadillac was the best car here.

@LindaOHio I knew your 50th was coming up soon. I can't believe our kids are in their 40s.

@JudyEv My husband and I will be married 50 years in October. When did THAT happen? Hard to imagine.

My mother has a similar photo from her youth. I guess this was the fashion back then.

Do you think so? I can live with that. We saw her at a jazz festival where her sister was singing. She is quite tiny.

I agree with everyone else...you still look the same except for your hair color. It's a lovely photo Judy and it's nice to see the necklace you wrote about.
