Mac is Back

Dear Readers,
Ack, my computer's hard drive crashed recently, and I was offline for most of  the week. It was like losing my hands. And eyes. And ears. I love my MacBook, and since it's my home-entertainment center, (no T.V., just Netflix, an occasional hulu.com, ) newspaper and online conduit rolled up into one, my life was pretty pedestrian. 
I was reduced to...READING MAGAZINES! 


So, I've missed you. 

But, this morning, my Mac all fixed up and back, and since I was unable to recover the contents (goodbye writings, goodbye pictures, goodbye important documents) I am intent of focusing on the future. 


Outfit post: going for a Fall Floral look, if you couldn't tell. Still zany about old-fashioned floral prints.


The skirt is a converted dress, and it is a lovely thing, with layers of blossoming chiffon over a built-in tulle slip. It once lived a life as a very elegant vintage dress, but the back zipper wonked out, and I decided it would live a fuller life as a aeparate.  I am considering posting it on Etsy, so let me know if you're interested in acquiring it for yourself. 

Now Wearing:
  • Thrifted vintage wool beret w/rosebud, Salvation Army
  • Old cotton tank top w/ruffle (bottom of top drawer)
  • Crimson silk belt (from vintage bathrobe)
  • Re-purposed floral chiffon skirt, the Citizen Rosebud
  • Thrifted '90's grunge booties, Thrift Town
  • NEW Jantzen Plaid back-pack, Amazon.com

I'm in love Carey Mulligan- she is the cutest little thing. I love those shoes as well- your shoe collection is rather amazing. The backpack is pretty great too :)
