I found these at a consignment store near my house. They are canvas and tie around the ankles. A-MAY-ZOING.
This picture reminds of a question I am always meaning to ask: How do you all organize your precious jewels/cheap-as-hell accessories? I use this room divider/screen with a wicker placemat and a macrame-lookin' scarf organizer. It inevitably gets draped with towels, dresses, bras, etc., but it works fairly well.

Well, I am not a Tumblr, I don't think. Too much teen angst and random porn for this old lady. Still some great people doing cool stuff over there, but I missed my comments section!
I feel like I always want to come here and just post some random thing I like, but Blogger feels too formal for that, somehow. So I am going to try a tumblr and see how it goes. Please follow me so I can follow you:
This funky colored dress from Eshakti looks 60s, but the color feels 70s to me. Reminded me of a drink called a Rusty Nail, which I (quite possibly erroneously) associate with the 70s.
ETA: Apparently it was the 1930s. But that sorta works for this, too!
[insert usual info about how busy I am and wish I was posting more blah blah blah]
I played hooky one day recently and met a friend for lunch. I had just gotten this vintage jacket/shirt and dusted off the yellow jacket from Lucie Lu for one glorious day of springlike weather before we got hit with another snowpocalypse.
Pardon the ooky face: I had just come from picking my kid up at daycare and finding out she had pulled some other kid's hair...out of her head. Yeah. Turns out my little gal has a nasty illness and a fever and this was sort of her way of letting us know? Okay, noted!
Howdy Folks. I will skip the customary apologies for not posting. I am just finishing up my two grad courses, working two jobs, and sharing custody of my three-year-old daughter. Things are...busy. I will be starting another job in a few weeks, but at least I will only have one class (my last!) next term!
Anyway, in lieu of posting anything about myself, I just wanted to feature this Etsy seller I met at a green gifts fair. She's called KMStitchery, and she upcycles overstock tees and screenprints them with feminist icons. Her models are M and L, but she sells tops in up to an XXL and (currently) 1X. I think it just depends on what she can get her hands on. Anyway, her icons are awesome--Sylvia Plath, Audre Lorde, Alice Walker, and on and on. When my shopping hiatus is over, I will definitely be picking one up. Possibly this one of Susan B. Anthony.
