It's fantastic that you've kept this dress and have a photo of both of you wearing it. It's a gorgeous dress, very simple but yes Hello Sailor.. ding dong! The sandals go perfectly too, Ivy black and I are on the hunt for granny sandals, though yours are more glam than that. xxxxMiss Simmonds Sayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15655954003085670507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983105132080837037.post-32230754458957770862013-02-22T06:51:18.723-08:002013-02-22T06:51:18.723-08:00Your grandmothers dress looks beautiful on you!!! ...Your grandmothers dress looks beautiful on you!!!

Actually it's hard to believe it's the same one (although I know it is). It looks gorgeous in 2013 and no wonder, with gorgeous you wearing it. I do love that photo though, that art deco cafe is lovely - the perfect back drop. I used to go on "Sunday drives" also know as "runs" - as in "we'll take the car out for a run" (I know!) with my Grandparents too. Same deal about where we stopped with the esky for lunch.
