Let's party like it's 1970!

Shhh, it's a surprise...

Mr.F's parents have been married for 40 years.

HOLY SHIT.

Oh, shhhhh.

40 years, that's a long time. I can't imagine a marriage over four years let alone a 40 year marriage.

I mean really. WOW. Think about that. I'll give you a minute.

*shivers*

Anyway. When occasions like this come along, you must celebrate. You must.

Celebrate we shall, FORTY (FOR THE LOVE PETE) YEARS.

As any loving girlfriend would, I got right on some party planning outfit shopping.

The theme of the party is 1970; therefore the attire shall match the theme no?

I was really surprised that the fashion in 1970 really wasn't THAT different than our fashion now.

1970 dresses

Right? I'd totally wear that NOW...minus the shoes...

I found this one....(CLICK THIS LINK TO SEE IT ON ETSY)

This is not something I'd wear to the party (sorry to disappoint Mr.F)...but it made me giggle so here ya go. (Click here to purchase "sunny days" for yourself)

Is this a moo-moo?

MOOMOO

Here are the top three contenders...

This one is pretty inexpensive and I think would fit the bill...

So this is option NUMBER THREE.

I think this one is adorable in that 1970 kind of way. This is option NUMBER TWO.

Lastly...and selfishly, I am not linking this one because I don't want you to outbid me on Ebay. *Evil eyes*

So if I don't win this auction on Ebay I will decide between number 2 *giggle* and number 3.

Also, a woman never forgets the SHOES, right? Today I found $109.00 boots on CLEARANCE for $16.99.

Shut your mouth. I know, right?

(Total side note, I tried searching for the boots, I bought them at the Bass Store, they aren't on the website, but it's the web address that has me giggling like that thirteen six year old boy again. www. B A S S S H O E S dot com. Bass Hoes. roflmao. *ahem*)

It's so fun to plan shop for parties.

  4. Sounds like an awesome reason to party. I like option #2 BTW just in case you gave a crap. And Bass Hoes, LOL. It took me a second but I finally got it. I am a little slow.

  5. I'm going for number 3. I like the green for spring. Check out Twiggy who was the sassy English lass from the 70's.

  7. Okay, I totally get the theme part and all...but you still want to be somewhat sexy right? I mean, I know FF thinks you are hot as hell, but even flowers like option three can wilt in the sun...get what I am sayin?

  9. I had that yellow romper in blue. I wore it all the time. Too bad it was the 80's by then.

  10. Maybe I am just a perv, but when I think of Moo Moo dresses I think of all the easy access sex people must of had back then.

    I think its awesome the party is a 70's theme. Sounds like a Rockin Good Time! Rightfully deserved if you can make it to 40 years of marrage.
