Haute Hippie

What's that in my hand, you ask? Why it's a copy of Flying too High, the second tale of the incomparable Phryne Fisher, gifted to me by my sweet husband. Seriously, these books and the series based on them (streaming on Netflix and Acorn!) are both amazing!! There will be a whole slew of Phryne inspired outfits/ gushing posts forthcoming, I'm sure. This day, however, I was still feeling boho. And I survived a whole workday in those heels, THE BEST heels I've ever had. Sarah and I went in on a "buy three get a discount deal" for them like six years ago and I will take them to South African Rod Stewart (he is the best shoe guy, DE/PA people) to be repaired until they literally splinter to bits.

Wear Something Blue

Being forced to dress myself, as I needed to return some shoes and wearing a silk nightgown to the Concord mall would cause QUITE a stir, I took my dear friend Carolyn's advice and inspired myself with the color BLUE. I have been very into Free People boho chic recently and this definitely had a bearing on my ensem as well. I grabbed the first blue thing in my closet, this weird, ( and I found out in the lighting of a Boscov's dressing room) VERY sheer midi dress became a top over my favorite day-off jeans, tied up to show off my scrubby knees.
