Pinning for the Past

Like many people, I am easily sucked in to Pinterest.  I check out fashion, jewelry, RV interiors, pallet projects, decor, and more -- however, I haven't gone so far to set up my own pins.  I'm content to just look.

Today I decided to mock up my own idealized fashion ensemble and low and behold, I put together an outfit I wore all of the time in my 20's.

Yes, I am stuck in the past.  But I'd go out today and buy it all over again -- albeit in larger sizes (except for the shoes, purse and jewelry that my weight gain doesn't affect.).  In my 20's, a black tuxedo jacket, white skirt, spectator pumps and a red purse was my go-to look.  Of all these items, the only thing that has remained in my possession, is my black Movado "museum" watch -- although I've had to have the internal workings rebuilt once. To be honest, I didn't get that until it was gifted to me in my 30's.

After updating my blogger profile picture, I realized just how things come full circle.  The outfit I outlined above is what I started wearing in college.  The picture I had taken as my "professional" head shot (with my jazzed up background) is also eerily similar to my college yearbook portrait.  Back then, I wore large plastic horn rimmed glasses and for my school picture, I wore a blue dress.  Here I am thirty years later wearing nearly the same thing.

I guess it goes to prove that the more things change, the more they remain the same!
