Off-Day
Definitely an off-day, both in choices of costume and mood. I’ve recently been going through old photographs. This one was undoubtedly taken by my 11-year-older sister Betty Jo. I’ve been trying to remember what may have prompted my mood. Maybe I detected that she was not overwhelmed by what my mother would have called my “funny little outfit.” My sister Patti and I heard this term countless times over the years, usually when we thought we looked just fine.
This photo was checked with creases and cracks, and although I tried to deal them, I finally had to resort to cropping or it would have taken me all day with the means I had at hand. At any rate, here it is–an early odd ball side of myself.

It looks like you lost your yoyo or bouncy ball. How adorable. 😀

Well I LIKE your outfit! Very pre-sexy, with that long slit up the side. You just needed a few years to grow into your taste 🙂

Unfortunately, my legs grew along with me and that is no longer the sexiest look for me. Nor do I look good in that kind of hat anymore. I couldn’t figure out what it was. Perhaps one of Grandma Dykstra’s tatted doilies?

A moment captured. Think how many others went unnoticed. I have one of myself that looks like I fell out of a dumpster. But I can’t find it.

Hilarious photo. I kind of remember that hat you were wearing, but the dish towel around your waist is not in my memory bank

Wasn’t that a doily on my head? Doesn’t look like any hat someone would put on a little girl. Was i about 3 in this photo?

I have a feeling you concocted that funny little outfit all by yourself. The shirt looks like it might have bern mine; it certainly looks too big for you. And I think it’s a hat–it’s too ruffled and lsyered to be a doily. Age? I’d say 3 or a bit younger. I love the photo–it makes me smile every time I look st it.

Had you seen it before? Did I often look that pouty? I can’t remember ever feeling that way. I must have just awakened from my nap.
