I was seriously dynamite in my mint green spaghetti strap summeer dress, with the mini-pleated full skirt and three, count them! Three crinolines, one yellow, one pink and one white. Worn, of course, with my mint green skimmers and white gloves. Had a little net hat-let with it, too. And yes, the purse was mint green.Sigh.
That takes me back to the excitement of receiving the Spring-Summer edition of the Sears Book, with a sunny day picture on the front of a smiling lady in a shirtwaist, available in an array of ice cream colors.
"Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer..."
You wuz da Bomb!
LOL! Being from South Mississippi, I was always amused when the really nice department stores in town rolled out their Fall lines in September. There were wool plaids and argyles, pants, skirts and jackets, but no one could wear them before the first of December, because it just never got cold enough!
I remember feeling sorry for the girls in the Homecoming Courts who were wearing pretty wool suits. Even on a November evening, it was too warm for them!
