- Purple beret – military supply store, Seattle
- Flapper headband from Louise Black
- Damask earrings
- Black sweater – Express, had it since 1998 when I went clothing shopping for my sophomore year in high school
- 1950s plaid dress
- White slip
- Purple stockings
- Brown/Black t straps
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:
- Headband from Louise Black and/or a beret
- Light Cotton dress (with lots of underslips)
- Black cardigan
- Colored stockings
- T Strap shoes

- Vintage lipstick red beret – Nobody’s Baby, Eugene, OR
- Adorable blouse from Jitterbuggin on Etsy – www.etsy.com/shop/jitterbuggin
- 1940s skirt that goes to a suit set
- Green Remix Wedges
- 1920s Harold LLoyd style glasses
The blouse I’m wearing is from Jitterbuggin’ on etsy. It’s so cute! All handmade and they come in bigger sizes, too. I ordered one more just like it (it has kittens on it).
I’ve been needing some more blouses that don’t button up the front. My buttons have a habit of unloosening themselves. Can’t have that! When I saw Drew Barrymore in Grey Gardens last week I knew what I wanted the basic shape to be.
I got these glasses a few years ago when I first moved to Austin, on my first trip to Uncommon Objects. They were a bit crooked, but I took them to an eyeglasses shop and they heated them up and put them right. However, they told me it would be a $70 charge to simply put glass in the frames, so I just wear them plain and hope that no one thinks it strange.

Today I had to fight off Harry Potter references at work. They’re more like Harold Lloyd, anyways!
