no 15 jacket




i thought that there was only one dress that was known by an acronym, the little black dress (the "lbd"). not so! or so i learned some days ago. there is also the "lnd". you would think that i would have been able to guess what the dress was pretty much as soon as i saw its acronym. but no! it took me a couple of days to figure it out. and then i had to confirm it with some people in the fashion biz. (you guessed it: the little navy dress.) so ... if there is the "lbd" and the "lnd", why shouldn't there be (my personal favourite) the "lpd"?

lime-ade jacket




during my recent bout of wardrobe spring cleaning -- when the cleaning was particularly deep -- i set aside a few beloved pieces that, initially, i had earmarked for the charity bin. i put these pieces in a box and put them away in storage. i told myself that i would give them away if, within a year's time, i didn't reach for them. i didn't last a year.

i am wearing an old plaid dress from lands end canvas, an old cotton knit cardi from jacob, an old jacket by olio organics and old hue trousers. my beret is old from american apparel. my boots are old by john fluevog.

they tried to convince me not to get it sweater dress




are sweater dresses for women the equivalent of sweater vests for men? let's hope so! (p.s. i just discovered the top button on this woollen vest!)

forest green jumper dress




remember the tv series felicity? i have been watching it (again). there is a scene, in the first season, in which noel goes into the library lounge and asks meghan if she has seen felicity. meghan responds that she hasn't and adds something like, "everyone that i have seen in here has been pretty well dressed". that line struck a chord with me. it reminded me that i don't have to be well dressed, by anyone's standards, including my own, every day ... or ever, for that matter. so the days of not being well dressed begin. i can honestly say that i have never been more excited about getting dressed.

i am wearing an old shirt with an old tie from urban outfitters. my jumper dress is by kaliyana. my woollen cardi, woollen vest and linen trousers are by susan harris design (some old, some new). i am wearing an old beret from american apparel and old boots by cydwoq.
