Who said black and brown don’t go?
Lately I've been thinking a lot about black and brown. Together. In one outfit. At the same time. Oh yeah.
Could it be? A match made in heaven? I think these shoes and this purse would look lovely with a pair of knee high socks, or perhaps… dare I say… tights? (I know, I may be rushing things a bit…)
Oh and, perfect with this outfit. Available at Half Caf!
Because we all like to window shop,
(and if you don’t, what’s wrong with you?!)
I thought I’d share my Thursday with you.
It all began with my cleaning out my horrendously cluttered car and finding a meaty black spider who wanted to say hello. (not so pretty, therefore no photos!)
Then I went to my favorite restaurant with my lovely and oh so generous friend Amy. (she stealthily swiped my bill and paid while I was busy gabbing away.)
It’s the best vegan restaurant in town.
Then I visited a few lovely vintage clothing shops.
Now don’t tell me, if you saw this open door, you wouldn’t go inside! :) It’s just beckoning me to spend spend spend!
I didn’t spend, though. Not even a few dollars on one of these lovely brooches.
I have a funny relationship with vintage. I adore its charm and history, but at the same time am slightly creeped out. Have you ever been alone in a room filled completely with antiques and old photos of staring people that you know are dead right now? That’s what I mean by creepy. Oh, and creepy like these mannequin heads. (mannequins have always been a huge fear of mine, for some unknown reason.)
Now, if I owned a vintage shop (brick and mortar, obviously) I think it would be so fun to see girls come into the shop and try on a lot of dresses and have a good ol’ time doing so. But apparently, the vintage shops in the falls district don’t agree. hmmmmmm….
Well, I hope I you felt like a kid in a candy store along with me. Maybe if you come to visit me, we can go shopping, put our hair up in victory rolls, and have a vintage photo shoot downtown? I think that would be lovely.
