That’s me in the very shiny, teal dress in 1992. I was the matron of honor at my sister’s wedding. My name isn’t Deb.
Did you see Napoleon Dynamite? Do you remember the scene where Napoleon tells Deb, “I like your sleeves. They’re real big”? Well, I can’t look at this photo without those words running through my head.
I think my sister was a very pretty bride, big sleeves and all. (And I still have that shiny, teal dress!)

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook Share on PinterestHello! I’m writing from my heart today. I haven’t often talked about the children my family sponsors through Compassion International. I used to think talking about our sponsorships might appear… a little prideful–maybe even self serving. As in, “look at us–look at the good we are doing.” Now, though, I see how many opportunities…

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook Share on Pinterest A friend of mine wanted to give a unique baby shower gift, so she asked me to personalize a pocket photo album with the name of the baby. She purchased a fabric covered album with a window in the front at Michaels. (This one is similar– Pioneer 300 Pocket Fabric…

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook Share on PinterestI really enjoyed spending time at home with my kids (well, I usually enjoyed it!) when they were little.

I love it! 😉
And thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful response to my most recent blog post on health & body image. All of the positive feedback really means a lot to me! <3
Thank you Holly! And you're welcome!
You all look lovely and I love ALL lines from Napoleon Dynamite.
I love the throwback photos from weddings in the 80's and 90's.
Thanks Tamara! And I love all of the lines from Napoleon Dynamite too. One of my favorite movies.

So pretty! The teal is beautiful!
Thanks Tammy–I really do love the color!
I love pics like these, you all look cute and it´s fun to see how fashion changes! 🙂
I love to see the fashion changes too, Tinajo. Kind of funny too!
My Mom and I were in my aunt's wedding in 1994–the dresses look like very much the same style! I'm impressed that you still have that teal dress, and I wonder what styles will be looking like in another 20 years…
I love how the styles change, and wedding styles have changed a lot! I don't know why I hung on to that dress–my daughter used to love playing dress-up in it. I'm curious about the styles in the future too!
I wore almost the identical dress color and style in a cousins wedding!!! Thanks for the memories!

How funny, Jessica! Thanks for commenting!
Love it! And I love that movie! Hope you have a very happy SITS day! 🙂
Thank you!
My mom's bridesmaids had almost the same dress! Must have been the style then…
Yes, I think that style was pretty much "it." Those sleeves were everywhere!
I think I wore that exact same dress to my senior prom in 1990. Also, I had another dress with ginormous puffy sleeves that I wore in my brother's wedding . . . my MIL removed the sleeves and made a purse out of them. So now, I have the dress with updated normal looking sleeves AND a matching bag! Enjoy your SITS day!
What a great idea to make the purse! I will need to tell that to my daughter (the seamstress of the house.) Thank you!
I had really shiny bridesmaid dresses…I look at them now and cringe! 🙂
Haha, Michelle, I know the feeling! They make fun pictures, though, right?
Stopping by from SITS girls to say HI! Started following you on Twitter
Thank you! So nice to meet you.
Love those sleeves! You know they will be back in style again someday!!
Yes, I'm keeping that dress for my grandchildren! 🙂
Stopping by from SITS to show love and support. Happy SITS day! Beautiful pictures.
Thank you so much Yvonne!
I had a prom dress with huge sleeves that same year. Long live the '90s! Happy SITS Day.
So funny how those sleeves looked so great then, but kind of crazy big now, isn't it? Thanks for stopping by!
Oh my what a great photo, does it ever bring back memories, except that is me in the wedding dress and my best friend in the very shiny teal (except her's was purple). Have a great sits day. Rosemary
I'm glad it brought back memories for you! Thanks, it's been very fun to be featured.
My sister got married in 1994 or 1995. We had very similar dresses in a slightly lighter shade of shiny green, from JC Penneys. Do you remember when Penneys used to sell bridal stuff, like via catalog? 🙂
Yes, I remember the Penneys bridal catalogs! Thanks for visiting, Bridget!
Oh those sleeves are magnificent!
Yes, they are some big, magnificent sleeves!
Pretty pics…
I love this! I was a true Southern debutante in 1990 here in Louisiana. I wore a dress very similar to your sister's wedding gown for my debut into society. Big sleeves, skirt, and all. The dress was made especially for me and it even had a huge detachable bow on the back. When I did the official father/daughter dance during the cotillion ball, the bow fell off in the middle of the dance floor! My grandmother went and retrieved it for me, because I was so embarrassed.
