Watching the atom bomb test...
When it rains, it pours...
Will you buy me a Dior dress?

My love of handbags developed early...
We are the goon squad and we're coming to town, BEEP BEEP!
Caught in the act of looking up Barbie's dress?
If the glove does not fit, you must acquit!

So cute...thanks for taking us on the trip down your memory lane.
ReplyDeleteLove that expression with your Barbie! The loss of a parent is a time of very deep memory, and I hope some are as sweet as these photos.
ReplyDeleteToo marvelous. A fashionista from the start, obviously...
ReplyDeleteI swear to god that's the fireplace in my house! My mom loved that for a backdrop for photos, too. Great photos, and even better captions.
ReplyDeleteWhat amazing outfits!
ReplyDeleteC'est vous Pseu, une jolie petite Américaine!

Too adorable for words. Thanks for sharing these, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteplant the seed of style and it will flourish - right. you are so "sweet and petite" in these photos.
ReplyDeleteYep...once a fashionista, always a fashionista. Thank you for posting your photos.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I love the gloves...I had those too when I was young.
Such cute pics! Looking at them makes me want to dig out of some of mine that are similar...my mom recently gave me some photo albums from when I was a kid and I am sure I've got some cute dress ones in there too, same era!
ReplyDeleteAnd you and I have the same blonde ponytail Barbie! And the same dress for her, it came with a purse with fruit attached and a big wide straw hat! I still have the Barbie and the dress and the hat in my Barbie and Midge red case!! Lots of fun playing with Barbie, back in the early 60's!
LOVE the photos. Thank you so much for sharing them with us.
ReplyDeleteThese are so sweet pictures Deja! Thank you so much for sharing them. Deep down, your mother loved you and you know it too. These pictures are a document of her love, please take good care of them.
ReplyDeleteLove the pics, and especially the captions.
ReplyDeleteI just had to admit that I had a dress nearly identical to the one in the 'love of handbags' photo, only it was red.
ReplyDeleteI wore it for my first grad picture day.
Great photos!
Um, that would be first GRADE, not first grad... :roll eyes:
ReplyDeleteWe must be the same age. I have photos of myself in those same sort of dresses at your age. Did you ever wear the Pollyanna hats? After that movie all the little girls here wore them. Flat white straw hats with a long ribbon.
ReplyDeleteenjoyed your wonder years...
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing.
Wow - what great clothes you had as a kid - you'd be horrified by mine - my parents do not believe in nice clothes (probably why I do the job I do today!).
ReplyDeleteLittle girls really knew
ReplyDeletehow to dress in those days
Great shots....
Great photos. Love the picture with Barbie! Obviously a budding fashionista.
ReplyDeleteOMG how precieuse! Were you seriously watching the ABomb test???Check out daddy's ride in the back!!!
ReplyDeleteLaughing at "the glove/acquit" line!
All - glad you enjoyed these.
ReplyDeleteLady Jicky - I remember "Pollyanna" but in California during those years I can't remember seeing anyone wearing hats, not even for Sunday dress-up. I did have a Dan'l Boone faux coonskin cap (with tail!) though. No pics of that one that I've found yet.
Karen - no I really wasn't watching an atom bomb test.
ReplyDelete;-D
So cute, with your little white gloves!
ReplyDeleteWow, I swear I had those same dresses with the scratchy petticoats that drove me crazy. And the glove, and the purses, and the Barbie dolls. Check, check, and check.
ReplyDeletei love the confident poses! i never caught the knack of standing gracefully when my father was shooting photos. you look adorable!
