41 Years of Fashion

As the below photo proves, my fashion sense hasn’t changed much.

Christmas break 1981 and 2023

Since I was a baby till my early teens most of my clothes were hand me downs from cousins, friends, and neighbors. Most of those clothes, just like toys, were unisex, and I wasn’t very much a girly girl anyway, so it did not matter if I wore pants all the time. I wore skirts when I had to. Unfortunately those were mostly the times that were photographed.

A few weeks ago I ordered a couple of new corduroy dresses. I love them, they are comfortable, kinda pretty, and they give me an oddly familiar feeling.

And then I found a few photos from Christmas/New Year 1980-81.

Wearing my favorite corduroy dress sometime in early 1980.

It all started to make sense. Just like my sense of humor, my sense of fashion was already developed by age four.
