"They might have been the inner-mind inspiration for my many pink outfits!!" indeed :) I'll be looking at your pink outfits from a different perspective now! Thank you for sharing your story, and how fun to learn that we were both in the store around the same time. <br /><br />& you are not kidding about the prices!! wooh!<br /><br />Hi Elle! yes, i was so excited to find more! oh, i can really see your style in the books you list. I think it's really great when people can find ways to keep those interests and passions alive through their life - so many people seen to think you should slough them off and 'grow up'. But i think it's important to keep those flames alive - you do so exquisitely.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17588803813622827162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327217397152414129.post-65594922439018004772015-08-09T08:16:47.611-07:002015-08-09T08:16:47.611-07:00Glad to see you posting again, and I love the blac...Glad to see you posting again, and I love the black layered skirt (I would though, wouldn't I! :D ) and the outfits you've made with it. The fabric is beautiful, looking forward to seeing what else you make of it!<br />I took a few days to ponder what - or who - my subconscious influences might be, but I'm really not sure. I think the foundation of what I'm still most drawn to was laid when I was about 7-8 years old and reading books like Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, The Three Musketeers, The Count of Monte Cristo etc - you know, ladies in long swishy dresses running about barren moors and old castles.elle s'ennuiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16348285449582861799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327217397152414129.post-87006151142843389972015-08-08T09:48:26.760-07:002015-08-08T09:48:26.760-07:00What a great post!!!

My friend Debbie lived nearby and we walked in there, after she had told me about it, and I was in love with every single object I saw. And I could not afford to buy one thing. But I kept going back, every time I visited Berkeley. Sometime before 1979 I invested in a pair of the most beautiful enameled silver earrings, big dangling pink orchids! I know it was before 1979 because I was going to Seattle Central Community College and I wore those earrings to school one day, and I lost one. And I went back and retraced all of my steps until I found that poor earring in the middle of a main walkway, all crushed and crunched for having been stepped on many times. Sigh I wonder where those orchids are now. They might have been the inner-mind inspiration for my many pink outfits!!

Enjoy the process!<br /><br />Hello Chris! 'tomboy chic' sounds fantastic, and of course classic for our California lifestyle. I know that as much as i love to work a look it has to allow for hiking, birdwatching, checking out little towns, etc. (which all of these looks do!). Style is so dependent on personality - if i don't have even something a bit unexpected then i feel 'off', we're all unique! I wish i could do classic more faithfully, meanwhile i'll enjoy people like you who do it with feeling!<br /><br />ah, a flared maxi sounds perfect for socal and your style. I checked the color palette at your blog, it is just beautiful. Thanks for commenting and happy friday! stephAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17588803813622827162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327217397152414129.post-27721577697496150222015-08-07T00:42:27.604-07:002015-08-07T00:42:27.604-07:00I love your blog - so individual and creative.

While I enjoy seeing interesting outfits on other people, every time I try something different or 'kooky fun', I end up not wearing it. <br /><br />I guess some kind of 'tomboy chic' would describe my ideal look. I'm not much for skirts or dresses, but I have been thinking of making a flared maxi skirt for the rest of the (southern California) summer.<br />:-) ChrisSewTypicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12734309915613761051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327217397152414129.post-80847715863098371102015-08-06T17:44:37.972-07:002015-08-06T17:44:37.972-07:00I love this blog post.
