fashion meme
From Melba - a meme I feel reluctant to undertake, the reasons will soon become obvious. Quite frankly I’d have more to say in a “Fashion Disasters” meme than one focused on favourites. But here we go.
WHEN I was 1, my parents dressed me in...
Hand me downs I guess. I was the third child.
WHEN I was 5, I dressed myself in...
My aunt made me a particularly fetching psychedelic jump suit (a legless number) with wrap-around matching mini skirt.
WHEN I was 7, my favourite outfit was...
My lace up boots – they were cool but my friend Johanna had this amazing vinyl zip up dress that I oh-so-wanted.
MY favourite school photo outfit was...
Well it certainly wasn’t the ugly mustard coloured skivvy I wore on the first day my new school opened. That picture of the whole school is probably a museum piece now. Thankfully it was in black and white.
Exhibit A: You see what I mean?
IN high school the fashion trend I started was...
Gosh was it the shiny yellow flares – or was I just following the crowd?
ON my first date the outfit I wore was...
Now which first date was that? There have been so many of them. In my teens I loved flouncy silken tops and skinny jeans. I’m pretty sure that was what I was wearing to begin with on the night I “lost” my virginity (really that is such a stupid word, I always thought of it as shared”). It wasn’t a first date though.
FOR my high school formal I wore...
I didn’t have a school formal or not one in the same terms that it is meant in this part of the world. Any school dances I went to I had a habit of dressing in jeans. When I was really dressing up I tended to favour trashy lingerie and fishnet stockings. But that was for nights beyond the school gates.
Can I just redeem myself for a moment and say that at my last graduation I wore a tasteful red, French, vintage, above the knee frock. Stay ups but not fishnets and some killer heels.
AT my 21st I wore...
I have a sneaking suspicion I wore trousers, possibly the azure flowing ones that I loved so much at the time. It was a pretty casual affair. Pixie, can you remember? There was good champagne though.
THE oldest item of clothing I still wear is...
The oldest I own is my mum’s gold lurex top from the ‘60s. It’s got a hole in it now so it doesn’t really get much of a wearing anymore.
THE item of clothing I wish I still had was...
Almost any from 20 years ago if I could still fit it!
MY current favourite item of clothing is...
My dressing gown. White, man-size, toweling. I do resent having to get dressed some days.
Ok it’s a meme folks, so that means please take it and play with it. I’m not tagging anyone but I want everyone of you whose read this to give it a go (and that includes you Ms O’Dynne and Ms Pixie!).

Fun. I did it too...
Ok. You're on.
That vinyl zip-up number your young friend had sounds rather fabulous...
And that photo is GORGEOUS.
Fun yes, but kind of scary. I really would benefit from Trinny and Susannah peeking into my wardrobe. In the meantime I have to hope 'covered in cat hair' become the next big thing in fashion.
For a moment there I thought you going to "include" me... this might get me back blogging ;)
Of course you're included Ed (and the flying sister too :)
thanks for playing, aof.
Melba - check out docwitch's - she has some very gorgeous photos in hers.
oh! I just came here from reading the same meme at dark Side Of The Broom and she ran a photo just like yours.
my pretty gravatar thingy is a Dior enamel ring - $50,000 apparently. we dream.
AOF, have checked out docwitch. loved the photos.
I love the photo too.
WHEN I was 1, my parents dressed me in ...
All the lovely things my grandmother sewed and knitted for me, her first grandchild.

My Jhodpurs.

None of them. All uniforms - what’s to like?

Non-regulation waistcoats under school blazer.

A Mod dress with lots of covered buttons up long cuffs.

Hippie long dress and chamois top with long fringes.

Drizabone jacket.

and Dear Reader, he married me.
ann I can still see you in the hippy number with the chamois top!
Oh, lovely! I'm going to save up doing this meme as a reward for finishing the marking and doing all the errands.
Ooooh, shiny yellow flares?! You trendsetter, you. What a fun meme.
Gorgeous photo! One of my b/w school pics is almost identical to yours - a similar haircut AND the same map of the world behind me. The map background must have been all the rage way back then.
