In the back of your closet do you have clothes that you still like, even though they are out of style and something you wore 20 years ago? I do. :) I have 4 dresses in particular that I have kept. Here they are. (I apologize for the quality of the pictures, but it is hard to take pictures of yourself like this. I do have to give me a plug for putting on 3 different pairs of nylons for this. Jacob asked me, "Are you putting on/taking off your legs Mom?", refering to the nylons.)
Coming in at #4 - The Green Dress
This dress was purchased in 1988, just as I was getting ready to finish college. It cost me $70 and is well made. I think I like it mostly because it was one of my first "expensive" purchases as an "adult." I also remember buying it the same summer my sister met her husband. I so got a dress and she got married.
#3 - The blue dress
I bought this one in the early 90's and just liked the way it fit. As with all of these dresses the shoulder pads are HUGE! But that was the style.
#2 - The Green Poka Dot dress
This dress reminded me of Julia Robert's dress in Pretty Woman. I bought it around 1992. You remeber it--the brown one with poka dots that she wore to the polo match. I loved this dress because I thought it made me look taller and thinner. The back has a criss-cross tie that makes the dress come in at the waist. I would still wear this dress--maybe I just need to take out the shoulder pads???? What do you think?
And at #1 - I don't know what to call this one.
Worn in 1994-95 and I loved it! It fit me and I just felt good in it. This is too dated to wear again, but I still have it. :)
Funny how we save certain things. Unfortuntely, while I still fit these dresses, the jeans I wore at that time are long gone. Jeans are not quite as forgiving. :)

5 years!
Today is our 5 year anniversary--Amazing it has been that long!! Marriage is one of the easiest things I have done...but it helps when you have a partner who is easy to get a long with and is fun to be with. Nice that they understand you (or try to) and love you in spite of your imperfections.
Jason gave me tulips, M&M's...we went to a movie and dinner....it was his day off, so I had him around all day--to me that is the best!!
I love being married to Jason!
