FRIDAY PHOTO FLASHBACK

I started "Friday Photo Flashback" because I have so many pictures from my PRE-digital camera days. I thought it would be fun to scan them and share them here with you. I'm having so much fun doing this, that I would love for you to join me, too! So dig out the photo albums and put your scanner to good use! Don't forget to sign in to MckLinky so we can all visit and comment on each others blogs!

1979

When I look at this picture, I remember that I hated wearing that dress! Plus, with the "boy" haircut, the last thing I felt was feminine. I was 10 years old at the time, and this was the morning of my First Communion.

Another weird detail that I recall was the carpet in our home. Those of you that grew up in the 70's probably remember having "shag carpet."

But you do look so cute! I'm still trying to remember why you said your mom gave you the boy haircut?

:)

We didn't have carpet!

Wait. Did you say 1979??? I wasn't even ..well I think my mom was pregnant with me :)

Does your parents still have that home?

Carin said...

Aw, you are so cute! I was thinking how about those drapes!! the only good thing about shag carpet is I bet it made really good vacuum lines. (I have issues, I know)

You were such a doll!!


And you do NOT look your age, by the way...

Robyn said...

I think you look cute! Maybe that was the hair style then.

Liz Mays said...

You were still very cute!!! Oh yes, I remember the shag carpet!

Jennifer said...

Oh my gosh, can I please hug you?! We had the same haircut, the same carpeting in our homes, the same 70s brick fireplaces used as posing platforms by our parents! LOL! This picture actually brings back fond memories for me! :-)

Lorrie said...

1979 was the year I was born. You have a lovely dress but very long and you look cute by the way.

I haven't experienced any carpet though. ^_^

Kimberly said...

Maxi dresses! Aww, I remember those! (I think they tried to make a comeback last year and were totally unsuccesful.) And fwiw, I think you were cute as a button.

Darcie said...

You know we are all going to say it...BUT you look so cute. Seriously very cute Alicia. The decor is very 70's though...wonder what in our house is going to date us.

Have a great weekend!

Pilar said...

Well, I think you still looked so very cute!

I don´t have a scanner anymore, so can´t join PFP :(

Lori said...

I think I had a dress just like the one you are wearing! I was in a wedding and had to wear something very similar! How cute you are! I'm joining you for the
1st time this week! How fun!

Stacy said...

I think you have the date wrong!!!

There is no way you are out of your 30's!!!!!

I was born in 1978!

You look much younger than me...lol. Can I get some of those good genes?

He & Me + 3 said...

Oh the joys of growing up in the 70's. LOL I had that same haircut forEVER! you are a cutie pie though.

Sheila said...

Very cute! I swear I had a similar dress and of course, we had green, brown and blue shag carpeting. :)

Lauren said...

you look adorable!!!! So precious!

I loooove the carpet! hahahaha

really.truly said...

What a cutie you are!

Shag....oh the memories it brings back. I think we may have had the same carpet. Everything about the 70's was so funny/fun!

Helene said...

Awww, I think you looked adorable! Remember when those fluffy long dresses were all the rage?? I always felt like such a princess when my mom would let me wear one. Now girls want short skirts...go figure!

I totally remember the shag carpet. Ours was an ugly shade of orange!

Angela said...

You're adorable, and no surprise, your kids all look like you! :)

Kim said...

Too cute! I also had my hair like that in the 80s and my mom said she cut it to like like Princess Diana. I didn't think so. :).

Have a great weekend!

Laurencita said...

Even if you didn't like your haircut but you still look very cute with it.

Have a great weekend!

Claudya Martinez said...

That picture is a time capsule.

You were adorable even if you didn't like your dress or hair.

Pam said...

Aww! You were a cutie. No carpet for me though. My mom was too proud of her hardwood floors.

joanofalltrades said...

Oh my! Well, despite the haircut, you still don't look like a boy. Cuteness transcends all hairstyles and fashion trends ;)

Sarah A. Galang, Ph.D. said...

I like your photo too. Thanks for the visit Alicia,have a blessed weekend.

Stephanie said...

My mom did a boy cut on me too. Cut my curls off to oh so short! My stepmom and dad about had a heartattack!

I feel your pain...but you are cute!
