Fifties Were Nifty, Except for the Fashions

Last night I had a good laugh. I was going through some old photos I keep in a hatbox, and found some of my 8th grade pictures. The "in" thing to wear in the fifties were poodle skirts and saddle shoes with white socks. I don't have a scanner, so I checked out a website with fifties fashion pictures.  I found one that perfectly represents what we used to wear 55 years ago. In fact, it's identical to one of my outfits, including the color coordinated neck and pony tail scarf with a wide cinch belt. http://www.fiftiesweb.com/ 

It's hard to believe we actually wore clothes like that! Some day, they may even  make a comback. As for me, I'll stick to my comfortable jeans and tee shirts.
