Happy 60th Sis

Tomorrow is my oldest sister's 60th birthday.

We celebrated the event with a 'come as you were' party. Here we have youngest sister K in the orange trouser suit - modelled on a very trendy outfit she wore as a 4 year old to a playgroup Christmas party in Haumoana. About 1971.

Birthday girl L is dressed in a replica of an outfit she wore when she was about 8. Being close in age we were often dressed 'the same but different'. Mine was the same style but in a pink and orange floral - you'll note I didn't try to replicate that!

My outfit is based (somewhat faithfully) on the bridesmaids frock I wore at my Aunty's wedding. At the time (I was 14 after all), I thought I was incredibly glamorous. Not so sure I pull it off nowadays!

There were some great outfits worn by other attendees too. My Dad went in a boys brigade uniform from the 40's, Aunty in a school uniform. A niece (in her 30s now) wore her high school ball gown - wish I could still get into something I wore in high school! Another neice was wearing her wedding gown.

Happy birthday to my very special and much loved big sister. Hugs.
