John is such a common name,
that I am pretty sure most of you have had
a boyfriend named John.

I know I did once, a long time ago when I was in high school
and I had not seen him since.
Seen him since today.
I ran into him during a work visit to a store.
So, I stop and look at him.
He's sitting down, waiting for his turn.
Old. Overweight... I barely recognize him.
I pass him and feel bad, bad that I did not say hello.
So, as I am leaving I pass in from of him again and decide to stop,
be courteous and civilized and say hello.
He says hi and then I realize he doesn't know who I am.
So I figure that he lost his memory pretty early on or
that I have changed -
Do you run into people who you have known and have them
not recognize you ?

Yes, I've run into people from my past who didn't recognize me before. I don't look very much like I did as a child/teenager, and when you factor in my vintage wardrobe, it doesn't usually strike me as odd when someone doesn't remember me (in a way I almost take it as a compliment, because I think I - humbly - look a lot better as an adult than I did back in my school days).

My brother is called John which made me smile. I live 40 miles from whre I grew up so have never run into any old boyfriends but I do find the women I know have aged much better than the men.
Lovely outfit - I like the detail on your top and your red heels :)
I have moved away from where I grew up too, so rarely see people I knew when I get home to visit! I love your blouse:)

No, not really. I think I haven't changed that much... or at least I hope I haven't. But it often happens to me that I don't recognize people, and that's not a nice feeling in any way.
Love the outfit by the way :)
He didn't recognize you?? His loss. Seriously!
hahahaha! only once has that happened to me. oh well. beautiful top! love the details around the neckline and cuff.
