out to sea


I won't keep you long this time, as I have a horrible migraine. Brain function at diminished capacity... Probably wake up blind tomorrow... Obviously a hypochondriac.





This is another dress that belonged to my husband's grandmother. You can read the full story here. It's one of my favorites and I only wish it wasn't so fragile.


Happy Friday!

the vintage dress is a lovely color and from the pictures, it looks like it has lots of life left in it.

Take care of that migraine.

Catie, thank you so much for your recent comment! It means so much to me! Yeah, we kind of are old farts in the fashion world...oh well.

I think that a sweater over a dress is one of my favorite styling tricks these days, and your striped sweater really jazzes up the dress. I like how minimalist/mod you've gone with your color combos recently. Keep it up!!
