“Barbie: A Cultural Icon-65 Years of Fashion and Inspiration” is one of the current exhibitions at the New York State Museum in Albany; I went with two of my best girlfriends and we had a great time. When they saw me they said, “You’re dressed like Barbie!” HA! I don’t think so, but I did my best.
As a child I had a lot of Barbies, and my mother sewed so I had shoeboxes full of clothes for them. I wish I still had them!
Pic 3 getting into the Barbie car.
Pic 4 fun socks that fit the decades vibe of the day.
Pics 5,6 so the red jeans bled on my white sneakers! Dye did not get on my top, so it happened from the wet snow outside. I used vinegar to get it off the sides of the sneakers but that did nothing for the fabric and fur parts, so I soaked them in laundry soap and OxiClean, which worked beautifully.
BR sweater, Nordstrom jeans, both new last fall, old JCrew pile of pearls, old JCrew coat.
I included some museum pics of Barbies through the decades in their fashionable outfits.
Thanks for looking!
