They hated these outfits, but I adore them!

"Me & T*^%#*: hating these dresses..." (via)

Okay, it's been a while since I've posted. Too many blogs, too little time...
But, while I know the dresses above are somewhat mediocre in the annals of My Parents Made Me Wear This history-the outfits below are just too fantastic.

"more goofy outfits." (via)

Goofy? What the heck is she talking about? French, sailory stripes-with bow ties? There are times here when I just have to disagree with the wearer-now is one of them. Sometimes, ungrateful damn kids just don't know how good they have it!!!!

Okay people-I am Back. Prepare for more greatness.

Fashion Crimes of the Past

"Fashion Crimes of the Past.

If I wasn't cute as a button I might take more offense at this dress my mother made me wear for my third grade picture." (via)

Cute as a button, yes you are.

But this photo? It's bizarre.

Hearts and bowties, Fireworks?

I hope your parents weren't jerks.

Your look to me says 80s librarian,

or perhaps your parents were Bulgarian?

It's the background I find so mysterious

Did you choose it? Were you serious?

You and Mom, a clash of wills

You crave flash but Mom wants frills.

The end comes here in your school snapshot,

This round won by mom--Oh Rot!

An Outfit good enough for the Baby Jesus

"Third grade school picture. I did not want to wear this outfit or hairdo, but Mom made me. She made me wear this outfit (though not the hairdo) again a year later to my first Confession." (via)

I think this girl needs to get over it--if this outfit was good enough for the Baby Jesus, it should have been good enough for her. Of course, there are many comments to be made about SINS and confession in reference to this outfit.

Side ponytail. Big Ass Bow Tie. As my husband pointed out--the formality of the skirt with an elastic waist--always good for a dress-up occasion.

I am also fond of the ponytail holder. I remember being jealous of girls who could figure out how to make these work.

And it's all the better because of her gap-toothed half smile.
