Your mother dresses you funny….

Your mother dresses you funny….

Remember that saying when you were a kid.. Nope?  Well you must be under the age of 55..

Because it was said in the 1940’s and 50’s for sure.

In those days.. we would NEVER EVER be caught (dead as the saying went) with clothes that were pink and red.. together. Or pink and orange together..   Nor were we to wear blue and green.. UNLESS you were Italian.. as that was the color of the Italy flag.. What that had to do with it in United States.. I don’t know.  

Also you did NOT wear white before March..  or after September..   You, girls, were to wear gloves, dresses and hats to church.. and especially for Easter.. Easter was the time of the year for NEW shoes and hats and gloves..  and especially pastel colored clothing.    So remember that next week when Easter rolls around..  It is the day of wearing your finest.. A real clothes styling day. 

So did your mother dress you funny?  Did you look at pictures from your past or your children childhood and say.. WHAT WAS MOM THINKING?  I KNOW my daughter will tell you about the animal western shirt I made her at the age of 5.. with purple and pink hippos and elephants and etc..  And there is one son, who would probably point out the plaid pair pants he had … and I think they might have been flared bottoms?   It was the 1970’s …… lol..   even have a picture somewhere.. of my husband Marv in a pair of plaid pants.. being he was a tee shirt and jean type of a guy.. I don’t know why he agreed to those..

YUP, MOM’S DRESS YOU FUNNY…
