Haight-Ashbury

Anna Sui dress. Vintage costume crystal & ribbon necklaces. Satellite mesh bracelet. Vintage amethyst & bow rings. Black tights. Chanel shoes.
There are different types of love in the world: familial, platonic, true love... My sartorial love of the day manifested itself as an indigo print dress detailed with a Peter Pan collar, a waisted sash & rubber buttoned cuffs. Bohemian joie de vivre inspired me to unabashedly layer bijoux, including a beaded bracelet over my left cuff & two heavy necklaces. About 95% of my jewelry collection derives from CT estate sales/town fairs - I frequent them whenever I visit my family's house in northwestern CT because they overflow with vintage baubles. Although the benefits of gemstone therapy supposedly only apply to real jewels & most of mine are costume, piling them on has been proven to cheer me up.
