If I were to post a current photo of myself, you'd definitely see the resemblance to this baby picture. Especially in the cheeks and thighs; after all these years, they look pretty much the same. I couldn't pull off a hat like that now, but I'd probably try the sweater, weather permitting. Also, I'm pleased to tell you that my shoes and underwear fit better these days and that I've always worn my skirts at a more modest length (except for a couple of years in Miami in the early '70s).
The only other thing I'd like to point out is that by the tender age of two, I'd mastered Renee Zellweger's over-the-shoulder red-carpet pose. Hmmmm. Maybe I should have gone into show biz.
With those high heels, definitely show biz!
ReplyDeleteAs my mother would have said.......
ReplyDelete"you could break your neck in a pair of shoes like that!"
She also used to say "Cover that bare chest up!" This was when I had one tiny button left unfastened!
That's us yorkshire women for you folks!
Velvet...you are in show biz...right here on your blog.
ReplyDeleteI for one would like you to post a current picture of yourself attired in a simiar outfit.
ReplyDeleteThat's a precious picture. Can't you just imagine the family photographer rushing to get the camera so you could be captured for everyone to admire again and again.
ReplyDeleteO.J., Noel and Mrs. N.: Those shoes may have been the reason for the over-the-shoulder pose; I probably wasn't capable of turning my feet around.
ReplyDeleteT.C.: "Stick insect"--LOL!! Now I'm picturing a green walkingstick thingie with huge, pouty red lips.
Thanks for stopping in to visit.
SS3: Well, maybe show-and-tell biz.
Mike: You might like for me to post that, but I promise you wouldn't like to look at it. I've been yo-yo dieting for years, and right now I'm on the wrong end of the string.
Annie: The photographer was my mother, so that's probably exactly what happened. And that would explain why my uncle (her little brother) appeared to be so bored with the whole process.
Very stylish! Love the shoes, love the photo. :)
