it’s throwback thursday so what better time to share a blast from my past. besides, guess who arrived at 2:00 am this morning from minneapolis? so if you don’t mind, i’m sleeping in today. and it’s been awhile since i’ve posted a photo from by-gone years. my tumblr followers will remember i regularly posted a tbt in my early days of blogging. so indulge me while we briefly walk down memory lane together and catch a glimpse of my fashion evolution. even as a young girl i was influenced by clothes. i wore dresses trimmed in rickrack, and coats with a nautical influence. it appears i’ve loved hats since forever. and a good handbag. my hairstyle changed frequently. long hair, short hair, dark hair, and light. i’ve always liked a splash of color. and, apparently, white socks. a pair of pointy-toed flats named mary jane had a place in my closet. as well as a plaid pant suit. white eyelet or thai silk were fabrics of choice and draped in simple lines. i’ve always liked pearls, and pink lipstick. i guess some things never really change…oh my, but it’s fun to travel back in time, and watch your fashion sense evolve. so go on, take a moment today from your busy schedule, and pull out a few of your own oldies. and share.
also, it has been discovered that my contact form on the blog has malfunctioned. if you have tried to contact me via the contact form there is a ninety-nine percent chance that it did not go through. please contact me directly at styleatacertainage@gmail.com if you have written in the last thirty days or so.

The flight sounds like a familiar scenario–rest up!
Your photos are great–so reminiscent of all of us during these periods. The plaid suit brought a big smile: we all have at least a few “who shot the couch?” moments. My brother unearthed a few photos of my sisters and I in what I called “fat dresses,” complete with white pinafores over them, and his caption under the photo was “Ed and his sister-wives: my sisters sporting the Warren Jessup look.”
