This is one of those dresses that I seem to have a million of: 1950s silhouette, plaid, kind of brown. I swear I have at least six. I picked this one out because it has purply undertones and I like to haul out my purple accessories every once in a while.

This seems to be the formula for my outfits lately:

1. Headband from Louise Black and/or a beret
2. Light Cotton dress (with lots of underslips)
3. Black cardigan
4. Colored stockings
5. T Strap shoes

• Cotton collar with embroidery I did
• Vintage navy sweater with rhinestones
• Bow belt – lost from another dress
• 1950s printed floral skirt
• Remix vintage shoes

It’s raining! I know you can’t really tell from these photos. That’s why I have my hair in such a tight set in these photos. It reminds me of of octopus tentacles or curly fern leafs. I didn’t want the rain to ruin it before I went to see the Pretty Things Peepshow tonight!

After a few days of 70F weather, the arctic winds have shifted and now it’s 30F in the mornings! I’m taking this last chance to go all out with my winter accessories. Stay tuned for the Shocking Pink faux fur stole and matching muff tomorrow!

Oh little cloche hat! I got it for a song on ebay forever and ever ago. It was one of the first things I ever got from the 1920s and I’ve treasured it ever since. It’s got it’s own little hat stand (a taxidermy bell jar, see below) on my dressing table. This shot below is from when I lived in Oregon in 20o6.

I look pretty wholesome and sweet, save for the black, pointed nails!
It’s so very windy outside today! All of my wind chimes woke me up this morning!
I love these garters! I bought them from an etsy store that only had one thing for sale, EVER, and it was this pair! They are hand-painted little flapper girl faces. She’s perfect: reddish hair, blue eyes and red lips! I’ve emailed the company several times to see if they were going to make more but I’ve never gotten a reply. Etsy is like that sometimes!
There was a band playing at my house until 3 am so I’m a bit tired. It was difficult to sleep.

Have a nice Sunday, everyone! I hope it’s sunny where you are.
