I felt distinctly Marc Jacobs today, circa Fall/Winter 2010. This can be attributed to the wide, flowing skirt on the dress that I wore, as well as to the pointed flats that I wore (with socks). The cinched in waist (as cinched in as I feel comfortable with) and the fitted, cropped sweater didn't hurt matters.
Notwithstanding how I felt today, my look today was not inspired by Marc Jacobs, circa Fall/Winter 2010. I have, in fact, been wearing a variation of today's outfit for the past couple of Summers. I honestly cannot remember what inspired the outfit in the first place. But whatever it was, it could not have been the Marc Jacobs Fall/Winter 2010 ready-to-wear collection; it just didn't exist at that point.
In the past, when I have worn this dress, I have accentuated it with red -- red belt, red socks, red sweater. I think that this may be the first time that I have worn the dress in a monochromatic way.
Can I just confess that, for about five seconds this morning, while knowing that it was feeling about 30 degrees celsius outside, I actually thought forward several months to when I will be wearing a parka and the thought made me smile? Maybe I will remind myself of this moment when several months from now I will be wearing a parka and definitely not smiling about it (although, right now, that is hard to imagine)!

P.S. How old does something have to be before it can be called "vintage"? Ten years? Twenty years?
