a trip down memory lane

I'm wearing my new white shirt-dress today. It's adorable and it has a built in crinoline that swishes delightfully when I walk. I put on my pink beaded sweater with it and I keep thinking back to this book that I remember from my elementary school library with a candy striper on the cover.

I nabbed this book cover off the internet for illustration purposes. It's not the one I remember but the outfit is similar. It was probably one of those "careers for girls" books. And while I've never had the desire to be a candy striper ... I still love the outfit!! There's something about the crispness of the pinafore dress in combination with the pink stripes...

It's a good memory.
