June 18, 1983: Sally Ride Becomes First American Woman in Space

On this day in 1983, at the age of 32, astronaut Sally Ride became the first American woman in space aboard the space shuttle Challenger. Her voyage came 20 years after Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman in space. After the voyage, Sally Ride received many honors for her contributions to the field of science and space exploration.

In May 2012, Sally Ride became the recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the United States.

On July 23, 2012, Sally Ride died at the age of 61 after a 17-month battle with pancreatic cancer.

Decided to have some fun with today’s OOTD post! The new wet look skirt and nude heels seemed like a fun combo, and who doesn’t love skulls? Blue & gold is a favorite color combination of mine, so there’s that too. Oh yeah, and I decided to feature my daughter, Bridget, in this set. It’s hard to believe it’s been a little over four months since she came into our lives, and Mrs. Spookshow & I couldn’t be happier. Bridget is usually all smiles too, but she just had to photobomb daddy this go around. Ah, well, haha.

Check out my blog, HisBlackDress.com, for more on this look and some musings about being a stay at home dad in heels. I kinda can’t get over these fit & flare skirts, ya’ll, what do you think?
