Thank you for this wonderful concept! I don’t know why I haven’t dug into my treasure trove of history photos before - of little me!

My favourite clothing was a western style check shirt with snap buttons and jeans with a beaded belt ! I grew up in an era where girls had to wear dresses and skirts and it was pure freedom !

Your outfit sounds fantastic! I can totally see that would give you a sense of freedom and adventure in contrast to dresses and a skirt! Bet you have some fabulous images in your treasure trove!

Love this post. I can think of two childhood outfits I wish I still had. One was a blue Alice in Wonderland dress and pinafore my mum made me. The other was a pair of sage green overalls from the brand American Girl (famous for making dolls.)

Both sound fabulous Sarah! An outfit made by your mum is extra special! x

I love this! My favourite outfit was a T-shirt with a photo of a huge kittens head on it, paired with brown corduroy dungarees. Maybe I need to visit that style!

Oh amazing Sam! Velour is the absolute best! I was delighted when velour tracksuits made a brief comeback in (can’t remember exactly) late 90s or early 2000s? The Juicy Couture years. I didn’t wear it then but was so pleased to see it!
