Shirt: Thrifted; Shorts: Ellison; Shoes: Thrifted; Sunglasses: Vintage
This is me on our roof. It's born witness to many a post-grueling-day-of-work drink and plenty of sunset/people watching. And, if you're the occasional homebody/night owl like myself, it's a great place to interact with the people stumbling walking home below you on Friday and Saturday nights. And, as you can see, it makes a decent photo spot. What I spared you photographic evidence of, was me peeling off the outer layer of my skin after being in the 101 degree heat with no sunscreen for 15 minutes. You're welcome.
I suppose this combination is my Marilyn/Rosie the Riveter homage; though I doubt either of those ladies wore faux leather shorts. It's pretty simple, but I've always loved brown and blue together. The cherry on top would be the vintage shades I seem to be constantly repairing; one of the screws won't ever stay in for long, but I can't seem to part with them.
Do you have any items that, even though they're more trouble than they're worth, you just can't get rid of? I'd love to hear!
I have a gorgeous wool skirt but the shape and length of it means like I feel my arse is on display all the time. It's so pretty to wear in winter though!
ReplyDeleteahaha, I have a couple of those too!
DeleteI almost always feel like Rosie the riveter when I wear any sort of fabric head band! There are a pair of brown, pointed leather flats I picked up at the goodwill a couple years back that I always seem to be fixing. The studs will get scraped off and here comes momma Rosie with the super glue! I've even painted the scuff marks!
ReplyDeleteI have a pair of shoes like that also! So sad.
Deletewhen i was 8 years old, i had nothing but sleeveless button-down blouses, and i always felt like such a nerd. sigh.

Thanks Jennifer!
Deletehahah "interact with the people stumbling home". can you please live by me so we can be friends?!
ReplyDeleteanyways, i wish i had a spot like that too, it sounds so fun. i suppose i can heckle people from my window, but it's not as fun. and LUH those shorts! you're lookin very chic :)
Um, YES. I would love to move to Chicago. And, of course, I would also jump for joy if we could be friends in real life.
DeleteI hope everyone can find a spot like my roof; it's calming. Excapt I can't really spend too much time out there at the moment-it's suffocating and flesh-burning.
And thank you, ma'am! I try.
hahah flesh burning- i always love your word choices
DeleteReally lovely outfit, like the shirt a lot :D
