Blast from the Past

Ahhh, the memories.  This beauty showed up in my Facebook feed last week thanks to that “Throwback Thursday” trend that’s been going around lately.  In case you couldn’t find me, I’m on the far right in the second row.  This photo dates back to June 1994, when I was graduating eighth grade from a private Catholic school.

Some important things to know about this picture:

1. I am sporting very trendy 90’s side-swept bangs.
2. I am rocking a choker (also very popular).
3. I was determined to wear a prom dress to my graduation.  My Mom initially gave a firm no but I wore her down with my relentless inquiries and got my $50 prom dress from Carson Pirie Scott.
4. Yes, that is our entire class and we’d been together since Kindergarten (I joined in 4th grade).

I might as well throw in a close-up too since it’s such a rockin’ look! :)
