I chose to start with Mr. Glenn's 5th grade class of 1973-74 from Strawberry Point Elementary, mostly because I'm in love with the little girls outfit on the front row.
How perfect is this dress she's wearing! It reminds me so much of something I saw from an independent designer a few seasons back, but I haven't been able to put my finger on it yet. I was thinking Samantha Pleet at first, but somehow that doesn't seem right. Any guesses?
I think more than the dress, I really liked this girls smile! She looks so happy. The dress is something sort of great too. With the oh-so-obvious 70's print and the white cuffs and collar, I can't help but think of my favorite print designer, Orla Kiely – I have a feeling I'll be mentioning her a lot with these old yearbook photos! It's kind of tough to tell, but it looks like this girl is wearing some tights or pants in a nice rust color too which, in my opinion, is spot on styling for the colors in the dress.
The next love I have here is the brown shoes. That's a given though! I've been a fan of brown accessories ever since I was old enough to pick out my own clothes. Can't you just picture the Chung's with this outfit?
The final inspiration is Mr. Glenn's patterned sweater. Although I'm really into a more Aztec-inspired pattern right now, I could see myself wearing this navy one a whole lot once it gets cold!

This is an all around fantastic post! I love the outfit of the girl in the front row too. Wish I had a dress like that...

Awesome! I love looking at old pics for fashion inspiration, too.
I'm having a navy-obsession moment, too! I was thinking I might do a whole outfit series featuring the color navy. We should do one together, haha!
Oh, Mr. Glenn! He is one perky looking guy. I'm pretty sure I'd wear that sweater at least three times a week if I owned it!
This is brilliant. I love old photos. These are some stylish kids. Also Mr Glenn reminds me of Bill Hader in adventureland, I think its the tache.
I love this. Can't wait to see more vintage pics with commentary.
Oh gosh I love all of these outfits! it's so holly hobby!!! gah!
And move over boyfriend there is a new man in town, hell-lo Mr. Glenn.

LOVE this! The first outfit, by far is my favorite. The second completely looks like something that would come out of an Orla Kiely collection :)
You might have me hooked looking at old yearbook photos!
hahaha. oh man, i think these old school photos are so much fun. thanks for sharing them. I love all the faces the people are making. I do think that Mr. Glenn's smile is a little scary though!
This is awesome, I would have never thought to look through other peoples old yearbooks for clothing ideas! I see many patterns/cuts in this picture that could still be new today.
Mr.Glenn actually kind of looks like my dad back in the day! But he is sporting a very nice 'stache.
How fun! I do really want that little girls dress from the front row!
Thats a great photo. I hope none of my old school photos ever show up on the internet
Haha, Starr, this is amazing. You are amazing. Awesome. That little girls dress in the front row is.... amazing. I'm obviously at a loss for words!
