comfy cozy cosby kid.

just a quick outfit post today!

staying warm in my ragstock vintage sweater and hand-studded blouse, topped off with a hat (of the free variety, what better?) and tights. pretty basic.

oh, yes. and i'm blonde, just replacing the last bits of color in my hair with toner for a grey-silver shade. new times, good times. i'm basically giving myself the granny look. and i love it.

all for now!

twenties at twenty years.

i came across these photos of women from the 1920s and decided it was going to be a twenties kind of day. within my wardrobe, i have the ability to fit any decade of the past hundred years, so why not? i never don the cloche-and-dropwaist-skirt ensemble, so i thought i'd try it.

for all the care that i put into dressing myself, i don't "dress up" that often-- i don't wear very much makeup, and i've only recently considered accessories more thoroughly. this was a definite one-eighty from what i'm used to, but it was nice. way more cutesy, but at the same time, more elegant than i guess my back-to-basics look is. i'm only imagining a party with the lights dimmed low and the music jammin' as ever.

and love for my grandmother, who left my family many things like this beautiful coat. she was born in 1904 and was my age right in the middle of the twenties. people tell me i look like she did. i'd like to pretend i'm her on this sun-glared day.

till next time,

softness.

a look into my bedroom. honestly, half of it's a mess, but half of it is filled with all the quiet things that explain some of the little things about me. from the incense and holder from thailand, to my japanese daruma doll heads, to my flea market deer skull and beyond. all of the quiet things, the favorite things. the things i love to come home and touch just to remind myself that there are solid little parts of my life that remain even when a person is physically gone.

quiet things.
