Remember the nylons with the black seam in the back? How horrible to keep straight, and the little rhinestones at the ankle in back? wow!!! felt like a princess with those, but they "scratched"... uncomfortable to an extent...

Once I reached 16 years old, hats were no longer worn by young girls - just the "old ladies" wore them.... now I'm an "old lady" and would love to go back to those days, but no one wears hats anymore, and in a small town, I'd feel like people would think I'm trying to be a goodie goodie twoshoes if I tried to wear a hat to church...

Oh for the good old days!
