TAKE ME BACK TUESDAY....1964

I am taking you back to 1964,  my mom's prom.   I especially love the bow detail on the front of her dress, her great bangs, and her beehive hairstyle which was all the rage in the 60's.  Also known as "big hair" or the B-52 as it resembled the nose of the Stratofortress Bomber(I googled that).  My mom was the quintessential 60's embodiment and I love the styles from that era.  Have a great day darlings.  I have to work today but I am having a picnic with the seniors tonight using my vintage picnic basket.  Photos to follow.  Dawn xo
