PATCHWORK JUNGLE

Happy Monday! i photographed in front of the lovely home of Mrs. Karen of Misha LuLu. they have the prettiest Mediterranean style home and these are the steps leading up to the house. 

On this day i wore one of my favorite dress's which i have had in my vintage collection since high school. i have been wearing it for over 18 years now and two things come to mind; 1. vintage stands the test of time 2. i'm glad i still fit in it!

 


I really like jumper dress's, and this one is just constructed so well. the fabric is actually corduroy which i loved wearing allot of as a teen. especially in the 90's, corduroy was big. this patch work, ditzy floral retro print is so one of a kind. Karen and I wish we could find something like this now, it's to bad great fabrics like this are no longer made as so, only if you develop the print yourself. and that's big big money right there!




I feel like a kid every time i where this dress, not sure if it's because i've had it for so long or because jumpers just make me feel younger! oh i also cut my bangs once again. i was so trying hard to let them grow out, but that "in your face bang" just drives me nuts. so i caved and "snip" "snip" off they went. i've had bangs for 8 years now, you get so used to them. i also think this is what made me feel like a school girl too!







Dress, is from my vintage collection, in my vintage family for 18 years; it's 1970's corduroy patch work print jumper. 


Black T-shirt, old Banana Republic bought at a thrift. 


Boots, i soooo love them! they are my Mom's, which i stole 13 years ago, shhh don't tell her. they are vintage 1970's brown suede from OLD Miami high end department store Burdines, NOW a Macy's.
