hipstamatic -- and it's ilk -- take on an 'inception' quality when retro dress is involved.

((oh, i heard you like vintage, so i put some vintage in your vintage.))

thanks, kyra!

Stacks! Soul Librarian Dance Party to Benefit Read/Write Library

somehow, i did not win the contest for mod librarian, but i love what i'm wearing.

found in new orleans, this electric orange skirt suit is 55% hemp and 45% cotton. it's got a macrame edge and fits perfectly. the labels inside show it to be from Godchaux's, which was a New Orleans institution. the designer is Ketty, and it was made in italy. the shoes are j.crew but the blouse is also vintage, found in seattle. the brooch belonged to my aunt, who got it from her mother.

sidenote: the Cloak and Dagger dress kyra is wearing was mine, but i'm giving it to her, since it fits her better. tights are mine too. i love colored tights -- always make me think of egon schiele.

sidenote 2: actually, dave is wearing a keith haring tie i gave him. keith haring really had no compunction about licensing, it would seem. there's a lot of merch out there bearing his images.
