Hayley Mills

I'll be off tomorrow so I'm busy getting myself ready because it's both my responsibility and my priority activity today so here's a short post.

I've always like Hayley Mills  as an actress and own some of her films on dvd.

 That one's from The Parent Trap, a favourite of mine from 1961 where she played both Sharon and Susan trying to reunited her parents.

 Apart from her undoubted abilities and good looks, these pictures to me sum up what I love about the pinafore dress look -simple elegance - and the girlish.
It's hardly surprising then I just love pinafore dresses myself!

St Trinian's

The out of control schoolgirl is best personified in the classic St. Trinian's series even if the last two installments take us away from the more innocent bad behaviour of the original series and the cartoon strip that inspired them.
This image from the most recent movie shows a more modern uniform than the original gymslips and stockings (for older girls) .
