Villager, John Romain, and Weejuns...going way back!

Today I'm going waaaaay back in time y'all.

 "Here's What I Wore"..The printed shirt dress is by Villager.    Villager made the must-have, de rigueur dresses for the prepsters back in the late 60's and early 70's.  I loved their dresses and had them in every color!

Today I'm wearing the same monogrammed gold circle pin I wore back then...monogrammed {in my fave interlocking script font} with my maiden initials jSk. When your monogram changes after you are married, don't fret...just keep using the stuff with your maiden initials--perfectly acceptable y'all!!!

This photo shows the detail of the pin tucks on the dress...the tucks are a trademark of Villager blouses and dresses.

Each dress came with a matching classic stretchy belt.

All the jewelry I'm wearing today is from my "single girl" days.  Classic monogrammed jewelry never goes out of style!

This John Romain purse was also a must-have to carry with your Villager dresses.  This "It Bag" started my lifelong obsession with cute pocketbooks!  Do y'all remember them?  I had one of the linen and leather ones, a straw one for summer, and this all-leather style.  I'm sure I had their belts, headbands, and Lord knows what else!

The Bass Weejuns...another classic.  We just had to wear our Weejuns...some times called "Penny Loafers"--but I never put pennies on mine, no ma'am!  Today I love wearing them without socks, but they also look cute with tights or argyle socks.

I love that today I still like to wear the same stuff as I did so long ago.  It makes coordinating my wardrobe a little bit easier!!
