1vin·tage
noun \ˈvin-tij\a : a period of origin or manufacture
“Generally speaking, clothing which was produced before the 1920s is referred to as antique clothing. Clothing from the 1920s to 1975 is considered vintage, and clothing manufactured from 1975 until twenty years ago is referred to as retro clothing.”
Going through some old photos I found this on of me when I was 16.
I guess according to what I found on line I must be vintage, not just aging lol.
Love this picture though. I says all there is to say about vintage.
I had made the dress. a woven polyester. Puffy sleeves and long cuffs. The shoes, don't you love the clunky heals and buckles: and check out the green chair and moms ceramic diamonds for the seasons. My hair was quite long and I wore it up a lot. OH what I wouldn't do to still have that figure!
And enjoy visiting all the other great vintage posts with Suzanne at Coloradolady

That is a cute shot of you in your teens. I cannot remember that far back. Guess I better go look at my old photos.
This is a wonderful post... AND as I was reading your definition of vintage I was "Thinking the same of ME"!!! hahaha!!! I LOVE that picture of you, I know I have one JUST LIKE IT!!!
Warm Winter Hugs to you,
Donna
Nice dress! What was the occasion? I remember my mother making me some shorter dresses out of that woven polyester. I can still "feel" them in my mind! Pretty shoes. I think I wore mine with platform heels, which I sadly grew out of way too soon!
Beautiful photo! Great shoes, they really are so evocative of the time.
You were certainly dressed up. Wonder where you were going. Thanks for the "vintage" picture. Just doesn't seem possible.
Cute shoes. Cute girl :-)

Oh wow! Memories! Weren't shoes so much more sensible then????
What a great photo. I could probably produce one of me wearing that same dress and shoes and sitting on the same chair, lol!
Blessings!

Oh Deb, I don't remember this picture. You look SOOOOOOO cute!! We were just probably on our way to a church function or we're you going out with your now hubby?
What an adorable smile--and the furniture wow--I do remember those.

Sis I think it was when I was stepping down from being Honored Queen...
You sure look more sophisticated than I did at 16. It is a beautiful picture and love the shoes. Great post for VTT.

Hi Deborah, I love your photo and the shoes are just like something I wore in the 60's. I also made a dress out of polyester fabric. You sure brought back a fun memory. Love this.
I also love the blue truck you and Ann sent LV. She is the sweetest blogger.
Hugs, Jeanne
Cute picture! Don't we all wish we still had those figures....where did they go? Seems you have always been a tatlented seamstress. Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving your sweet comment.
Love the photo!!Love the shoes too! Happy VTT!
Nice shoes! I think I must be vintage or antique as well.
Those shoes look very familiar. I probably had a similar pair. And the chair you're sitting on - my brother used to have two of those in his living room.
