Amy Jeanne: I love that print you used on the dress--fantastic!!! :)
I'm loving all these photos you posted, Amy Jeanne! Thanks for sharing these. :) I just adore looking at the way people dressed on a daily basis back in the day. I think the gal's dress on the left is my favorite (polka dots!)--I want to see more of it! :D Not to mention her hair looks thick and...
