these are a few of my favorite things

there are some things in my closet i can't let go of. no matter how worn they are, visibly damaged, even outdated at that time. they are a mixture of tops, pants, dresses and jackets, and yes shoes.

let me start with this dainty top. i got it from a friend who used to own a vintage shop filled with delicious finds, chiffon blouses, italian scarves, unique belts.

i must have worn this a thousand times. paired it with pencil skirts, slim jeans, or under a crisp suit. it never fails to lift my mood. by now, there's a slight rip where one of the drawstrings is, but i love it even more, knowing it's more fragile than it looks.

i wanna be a flappers girl

i nursed my fever, cough and cold last week with chick lit power. "twenties girl" is the much awaited new book from sophie kinsella. and, for us chicks who just want an entertaining un-thinking book, she definitely does not disappoint.

im not a vintage kind of girl, but i must admit i got intrigued by those drop waist dresses with fringe and tassles, beads and sequins, and intricate embroidery described in the book. i think i would have looked good as a vaudeville girl, complete with feathers on my head.

BUT i would be frustrated in these low, one-style mary-jane type of shoes.

so no, i think ill stay right in this millennium.
