so this is me being not-classy. can i say ghetto? as a shopgirl, i'm always irked by 'customers' that take pictures of the products on display. people don't shoot items and then buy them. it's not that i stand to lose pay, but they're essentially taking the idea, even if they can't display it on their bodies or shelves.
my irritation notwithstanding, i've been taking pictures in fitting rooms since long before camera-phones. total hypocrisy. i was a teenager, trying on lela rose* or giambattista valli at filene's basement. (r.i.p. filene's) great dresses that have been lost to time, or ebay.
anyway, here i am at h&m, trying on their "conscious collection." that means they're using organic cotton and recycled polyester, with a nod to sustainability. the pieces were romantically embroidered and largely white. the sweater with the long-stemmed flowers, and the leaves climbing the sleeve; i fell in love with it. i went back and bought it the next day.
because my income is basically nil, i couldn't also buy this frock, which had great details in 360°. it's a little too bohemian for what i'm doing right now, anyway.
*this is the gold brocade lela rose dress i tried on back in the day. the photo i took is gone, but the back had a lovely cut-out. (it wasn't a trendy detail yet.) the body in this pic belongs to stupid rachel bilson.
