“When I was
young it seemed that life was wonderful, a miracle…oh it was beautiful, magical….but
then they sent me away, teach me how to be sensible, logical, responsible, practical.
Won’t you please please tell me what we’ve learned, I know it sounds absurd,
please tell me who I am…?”
Every word
of this song is true… life was so much nicer and easier when we were young. No
labels, no worries, no “musts”. Wasn’t that innocence the best feeling ever?
Even in the simplest things….the way we dressed. We didn’t dress to impress
anyone. We just wanted to feel free and comfortable to play! My mom used to
take care of that. For all 3 of us (me and my 2 sisters). So what if we would end
up with blue dresses and yellow shoes? (Sorry mom but you have done that!) J . However, nowadays this would have been a
fashion statement!
Awww how I
miss those carefree days. When I saw this dress in a vintage shop in
Paris-Marais, I remembered my childhood. White, with little flowers, airy,
comfortable, innocent! It was the buy of the day. For 10 euro right from the
basket of my newly acquired friend who owned the vintage shop and who was kind
enough to let me go through the new arrivals that were still in the boxes so
that I would be the first one to pick up whatever I wanted.
Enjoy the
post birdies!
