Get (Low)

It's impossible not to notice the mid-length trend sweeping recent attire. I can only try to hop on the band wagon, and have pulled these tiny heels from the abyss of my closet. I've worn them maybe twice before and that's because they hurt like a you-know-what. But beauty is pain and I love how slender they make my exposed ankle look.





Although it is the warmest day since fall fell I gravitated toward this turtleneck, an impulse I never turn down. I usually like statement earrings with a turtleneck, I think they accent each other well. Although I didn't get a good close up of these ones, they're one of my favorites-partly because they shine little sparkly reflections when they catch the sun.
I like the shape these shoes give me, elongating the line of my legs. The moment I first spotted them I knew they had to be mine (and for a reasonable price since I found them inside a Goodwill- no, seriously!).

Holly Hobby Mini

Open on a girl shopping for the perfect prom dress. The store is, of course, vintage. Through her digging among frothy tutus and authentic seventies wraps she spies a checkered/floral print. She continues on without trying it on, her specific trip aimed somewhere else entirely.
The girl enters the same shop later that spring, her birthday is days away. She has spending money in her pocket. The dress is magically un-purchased.









Needless to say she bought the garment after all. It surprisingly fit her as if it were made for her.
