simple

part of my inspiration to go cheap is from noting the style that i admire in the blogosphere.


just a simple vintage nightie worn with a slip. i think the belt pulls the outfit together beautifully.


another example of her repetition of a theme. in the earlier shot, the caramel color of her accessories. here, the ruffles in the top and bottom.


nothing extraordinary in the pieces. since i've noticed how important belts are to finishing an outfit, especially one based around skirts or dresses, i acquired another one today. a large woven leather belt handmade in turkey.


just the sort of simple vintage silk dress that you always hope to find in your thrift store circuits. it's the will o' the wisp of the thrift world: the piece elusive but much sought after, that keeps you going when all you keep finding are duds.
