Words I like:

"She was dressed, as usual, in an odd assortment of clothes, most of which had belonged to other people." 

Excellent Women by Barbara Pym (1913-1980)

Inspiration

DateFriday, February 3, 2012 at 12:03AM

I wasn't sure what I was going to do with this 1970s red dress that I got at the London Vintage Kilo Sale.

Jerry Hall for Vogue Patterns, Spring/Summer1975. I recognize this as at the Peacock Gate in Jaipur.I'll make a shorter (and polyester) version of this. But, I'll probably skip the turban.  More images from this fashion spread here.
