On Saturday, August 16, 1969, this was the fashion for the day for me.

The Husband and I are celebrating our 44th anniversary today! Now we are on the way to celebrate 44 more!
Can you believe I still have this?

| That "going away" dress! |
 |
| I even have the shoes! |

I realize there may be a follower or two who has yet to celebrate a 44th birthday, but for those of you who have, do you have anything still hanging in your closet from 44 years ago?:-)
Thank you for reading. I really appreciate your comments.
Congrats...!!!
ReplyDeleteI still have my dress, too.
Happy Anniversary!! The dress is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! I am not surprised that you still have your wedding gown, but it has been many years since I've seen that lovely going-away dress and the shoes that matched it perfectly! You were a beautiful bride, and you two have had a wonderful life together. Congratulations, and enjoy your special day! Love you both, Sister!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary Nellie. Wow, after all these years you still have your sentimental pieces.

Congratulations Nellie. Why didn't you get a picture of yourself in that outfit. It looks like nice cruise wear. Hope you have a fun time celebrating. xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteI keep everything, just not in the closet, so yes, I do have things that old, just not in that great shape. By the way, that going away dress looks quite short. LOL! Sign of the times?
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!!!
Happy Anniversary!!! May you have many more.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary Nellie and the next 44 be just as wonderful . The gown is beautiful .
ReplyDeleteNellie- Happy Anniversary to you! Today is OUR anniversary, too. 38 years. I am doing a post about it tomorrow. lol I had my wedding dress until our basement flooded and it got ruined several years ago. Love that you have your shoes and going away dress! xo Diana

Congratulations! And that was a very stylish going away outfit.
ReplyDeleteI do. I have a dress from when I was sixteen. Aqua color with a little bolero. A sheath dress. Silver studding on the bolero. Very quietly done. And a skirt. Was my waist really THAT small???
ReplyDeleteLOVE seeing your wedding dress and headpiece. The shoes too. T straps! That looks like a late 60's dress, the going away? No..had to be the 70's...
Happy anniversary!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!! Nope I don't even have my wedding dress anymore.
ReplyDeleteI love your cute little going away dress and those shoes.
We celebrated our 33 in April. So at least we are both double years. Have a lovely evening.
Congrats on your 44th anniversary. That is TREMENDOUS... Love your dress and the 'going away' dress.
