OK – this is a kinda fun post… I have been going through mountains of old photos and have really been enjoying the nostalgic trip down memory lane. One of the funny things I noticed – is how many photographs cropped up where Suzanne and I are dressed in identical clothing! My mom used to sew most of our outfits herself – and I now find it rather funny that Soo and I (polar opposites from the start) were always forced to match!
Mother! I know you read this blog! What do you have to say for yourself!!?
Here’s the evidence:

Matching swimming costumes!

Matching pink dresses! (Soo on the left… me on the right… cousin Jenny in the middle)

More matching dresses (with Bielie from down-the-road in the middle)…

On our way to a party with complete matching outfit… including caps, bobby socks and red shoes!!

One-piece sets – with matching doek!!

And even, on occasion, when she’d buy us clothes (instead of sew them from scratch) – she purchased matching outfits!!! (and what is with my awful hairdo?)

Okay – I’ll forgive Mom for this. This is a school photo. We had to match… kinda. I always laugh at this photo… we look like two of the most miserable, wretched children alive… (must have been ’cause I hated school so much!)
Cause you looked cute!…….nuff said! Mom
Dressing your children the same was fashionable dear(remember The Sound of Music?) .. It caught the attention of everyone in the shopping centers….and was considered very quaint!. And the hairdo?…you wanted to look like Lady Di….!
Tee-hee!
