guest appearance

I’ve been in a bit of a slump for the last few days, and as always it is definitely evident in my outfits. I also haven’t really had to leave the house for almost a day and a half, so mostly I’ve just been in my jammies. Yesterday my lovely friend, business partner, and roommate, Maya came over to hang and do some crafts and she just looked adorable. I asked her if she’d mind posing for a few, and set her up in front of the camera. She did a beautiful job if a may say so! Also, she had on the coolest necklace! It seems like its pieces of lace that were somehow cast in metal- totally awesome. Sorry the pictures of her super-cool accessories are of such poor quality. She also brought over a bunch of jewelry to price and I ended up borrowing and buying quite a few pieces from her. I included a few pictures of those guys too!

I love this personalized brooch! I'm gonna tell everyone it's my kid, even though the picture is obviously from the late 70's or early 80's.

Chopper loves to model for me. Here she is displaying the emerald scarf brooch I'm borrowing from Maya.

That’s all for now, thanks for reading!

RETROactive posting- part 3

As stoked as I was when I bought this dress, I didn’t realize how see through it was! Luckily I had a white tank and short slip that worked out OK. I love the detail on this dress too; the little shoulder panels of floral print are probably my fave.

You can't really see it, but this was the necklace I was wearing.

I didn't buy it until a few hours later so I'm not wearing it in the pictures, but this was the necklace I was wearing most of the day.
