[I know it's Wednesday, but I have another blog for Thursday. So it's Throwback Thursday today. Go with it.]
Oh, y'all. I'm old.
This weekend was Homecoming at my alma mater, Logan High School. I didn't go (does anyone actually go to high school homecomings?) but seeing the posts about it on Facebook made me remissness about the olden days. You know, dances in the gym, the big mums that are totally impractical and illogical but for some reason are deemed "cool", putting on a prom dress immediately after finishing playing a basketball game (read: sweaty and gross), gluing balloons to arches, and crooked plastic crowns.
And there's nothing like a few decade old pictures to make you remember the good ol' days. Shall we?
Just for the record, that dress cost me $25 (Blue Eyes' poor tie cost twice that) and I wore it to homecoming and two proms and two different younger girls wore it to their prom. That, friends, is $5 bucks a wear. Years later and that is what I remember about homecoming.....you can see just how cool I was! Ha!

Love your throw back and your dress ;) Oh and to answer your question I actually did go back to my high school for homecoming this weekend, but to my defense it was because my brother was crowned king lol.

I even skipped Fall Sport Senior night at the football game when I played golf..... I don't remember what I was doing, but I don't regret it! Love the dress story!
That was from me! - Micca
Fun to get so much use out of a dress! That's pretty impressive...
haha nice job! I love wearing dresses a ton and really getting your money's worth out it!
