Another garment with a lovely feel to it. I've always liked the tactile aspect of wearing female clothes but it is taking over now. I select clothes based on how they will feel on my skin rather than how they look. But I like the look of this one too!
Wearing:
70s peach dress: vintage fair
tights: American Apparel
70s Trench: thrifted
Belt: thrifted
Flats: Rubi shoes (yes, they are identical to the red ones I had on yesterday. They were $5 a pair – what’s a girl to do?)
The one in the middle is a bit sitcom-ish. I -love- the mushroom haircut and think we should bring it back.
Another polyester ad from Glamour magazine, this one featuring golfing great Arnold Palmer. What was Mr. Palmer doing in a women's magazine ad?
You can make a sub-irrigation planter from any two sleeved plastic containers this way. These happen to be repurposed (recycled) cookie containers. They could also be plastic utility/storage boxes.

This dress was $10 at Target. Score!
Dress, Merona. Earrings, Ali’s Boutique. Bracelets, The Bead Factory. Shoes, Wet Seal
For $10, I didn’t get silk, but I really have no problem with modern polyester. It’s the old-school, double-knit stuff that is kind of horrible. Polyester or silk, the dress still makes delightful swishing sounds as I walk and moves well.
