1970's Dress Set

Ignore for the moment that the dress is five sizes too large, and admire the great print.
(I like how I'm being photobombed by my kid).

I try to tread carefully in 70's fashion area, as I was old enough to wear these clothes the first go round. I ask myself, is it Mary Tyler Moore, or Nan? The former, we're cool, the later, away it goes. As this outfit was borderline, I put on some shoes my grandmother never would have worn.

These shoes by the way, are demonic. I'm afraid my toes will never be the same again. They were however, easy to walk in otherwise.

We skipped the "Owl thing" because the weather turned bad, and I didn't want to be far from home. Instead, we happened by a bookstore where I noticed this...

I suppose that's better than a hopeless romantic, but it does have a bit of the "love 'em and leave 'em" to it. Better a serial romantic than a serial shagger. Maybe.

I don't feel this dress is worth the work it would take to make it fit properly, so it will likely move along to someone that can wear it better. That's the great thing about vintage clothing-someone will be thrilled to have it.

Last evening we watched Harold and Maude. Danny liked it, though he was irritated with the ending, but he is only nine. Tonight we're watching, Some Like it Hot.
