COOTD GRANDMA BOOTS

My Uh-Uh, if you don't remember her--read up about her here, had some serious ass kickin' style back in the day.

I can just go ahead and check owning a pair of vintage booties off my list.
I just need to get these suckers REsoled... the bottoms are pretty much WORN OUT.
I need to figure out how much that's going to cost --eek--

Any who... back to the outfit:

"OFF with her Head!"

Thanks Sister-Cousin... you're photo skills are epic as always.

Ahhh, that's better.

Top: Old Navy V-Neck

Tank: Old Navy Shelf Tank

Shorts: DKNY (purchased at Marshalls)

Boots: Uh-Uh's Closet :)




To catch up on my Uh-Uh stories..
 the sweater that triggered it all
part i
part ii
part iii
part iv 

and this...
bc it made me remember the last time I saw her before I left for my time in GA,
AND, because she was right.

"OH YEAHHHHH!"

I like my headings in all CAPS just like I like my Alzheimer Grandma's taste in clothing (the good and the bad bad).

i.e. This lovely , downright ugly and completely awesome piece of clothing that would be absolutely perfect for an Ugly/Cosby Sweater Party
(only if we--the family who packed her shit up--didn't put it in the Goodwill pile... And We did--dammit.)

Don't worry though, I saved a TON of other fun stuff for amusing Flashbacks-to-Grandma's-Time pictures later.

meh.

Oh! Fun Idea:
I think I'm going to make Fridays in this blog-of-mine:

Uh-Uh's Flashback Fridays.

(Uh-Uh--yes, like "uh-uh" when you are telling someone "no, no"--is what my family calls my Grandma--who unfortunately has been diagnosed with Alzheimers disease--and at a later date I will explain why we call her that...)

On Fridays I will upload photos of some of the things I was able to snag from Alzheimer Grandma's condo before we moved her into the new apartment. And I'll share a few of her stories and a few of her photos from back in the day. Let me tell you, my Uh-Uh was one hell of an interesting woman in her Haaaaay-Day.

Get ready! Installment #1 (because technically today is NOT Friday) begins this Friday... Or maybe next Friday if I get too bogged down with the family who are in town for GRADUATION this weekend.

We'll see!

:)
