I'm just a girl in the world, trying to get by. Married, 61 years old and who's in love with fashions of the mid 50s to early 60s and I dabble in modern fashion too. I am a collector of vintage stockings and vintage foundation wear, lots of shoes and pretty A-Line dresses and circle skirts. Physically, let's just say, I'm blessed with good genes. I'm 5'11" in stocking (FFN or RHT) feet and 145 pounds. I'm a size 8-10 in dresses depending on the maker an I wear....ugh....a ladies size 11 in heels.
Love it when a girl shows an excited and happy face! This truly reflects well on just how you feel. So cute Jessie! ❤
Heather, I hope that’s how we all feel. Although I do know its a journey and some are further along than others. I’m so happy in the place I’m in right now!

Love that dress! And it looks so perfect on you.
Bettylou
Thanks Bettylou. It feels perfect too. I love the way the skirt flares out and really gives the impression of a curvy girl, which I am not! 🙂
Jessie
OMG, love that smile !!! Keep having fun with it
Thanks Janice. I always have a ball once I get dolled up and I want it to show! 🙂

I have never commented on this site before. Been lurking for over a year. But this photo is my favorite on this site from many wonderful ones. I just had to comment.
The look of absolute joy in your face, fanning out the skirt of your dress, I think that is exactly how all of us feel when we dress.
This is us.
Thanks Christina. You are absolute spot-on. I am always thrilled when dressing and I do hope that joys shows in all my pictures. SO many of us girls could make our pictures so much better if we just smiled, even just a little. I too so many girls who look bored, disinterested or simply mad. Not sure if they are trying to cultivate the “sultry” look or not, but a smile is just that, an outward expression of joy. Happy to have brought a smile to our face.
Hugs,
Jessie
First of all YOU ARE FABULOUS. Love your styles from the 50,s and 60,s and I so very much agree with the huge joy that comes with from the big smile. It is unfortunate so many pictures here don’t show that.
Indeed it does!
Love,
M
