This was the outfit that got me compared to this guy.



Can’t imagine why.
You’d think with his webbed feet, he’d love the water.



Nope.
With all the vintage furs and brooches and shawls at the opera (are they considered vintage if you bought them new 40 years ago?), this dress begged to be worn.

I got it at Deluxe Junk in gastown last summer.

And had it shortened significantly so I could wear it in LA.

P.S. Rigoletto was absolutely incredible.
I can’t think of a prettier way to set a table than to use mismatched antique china. I just need to start working on my collection of dinner plates.

Some of these teacups belonged to my grandma, some belonged to other people’s grandmas. All are absolutely beautiful.
And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead, which I’m going to see (even though I am so not hardcore enough).

And tomorrow night sounds like Rigoletto. Cannot wait.

Well, kinda. My friend Ashley requested that I create this dress out of some vintage wonder and then give it to her.

If only.

This shirt was a dress. I don’t have a before shot, but if you imagine what a hip grade four teacher would have worn in 1985, you get the idea.

My favourite thing about it? The tie-up sleeves.

This mirror’s from the Cross in Vancouver, by the way. The shirt/dress is from Deluxe Junk in Gastown. And the YSL belt is from Crossroads in Seattle.
though I do have the t-shirt. But boy oh boy, is there a lot of inspiration to be found on Dropsnap.jp.

After I posted about Hel-looks I got a bunch of emails from you guys saying how much you loved it. Dropsnap might be even more addictive.
One of them would be the linen pants I got on Rab Island.

I also love Leroy for many reasons.

One of them would be his lopsided ears.
