A Blue Hawaiian cocktail sounds pretty good right now, but I'd need to go out and buy Curacao. Better stick to Pimms and lemonade instead.  I found this dress in a box I'd forgotten about, and have no memory of having purchased it. It isn't vintage, but it easily passes. I was in the mood to wear something cheerful. How'd I do? I waited in the car while Mr. ETB popped into the Indian market for curry leaves (and a deep-fried snack he ate before returning to the car). Bored, I photographed my new (to me) vintage shoes, but the real star of this photo is that blue sky out the window.  Car-selfie using the mirror on the sun-visor. I was really  bored. I think the "fried snack" was probably plural, as he was in there quite some time.  Outfit Particulars: Jones New York dress-can't remember Blue vintage beads-Goodwill Flower pin-Tiff and Tam Earrings-Hand-Me-Ups Vintage sandals-Hand-Me-Ups Vintage handbag-Goodwill Hair Flowers-Tiff and Tam Fragrance-Guerlain Gu

Thank you for your help with literature suggestions for next semester-I appreciate you taking the time to alert me to what I've been missing. We're getting closer to completing the syllabus, but I'm already mentally exhausted. Thank goodness I only need to do this once a year.  Now, to the vintage. I KNEW  there was a reason I own so many raincoats!  Having fab outerwear does lessen the sting of needing a coat in late May. This is very unusual for Omaha. That said, I prefer it to 100 degrees F with high humidity, which has also been known to happen in Spring. What you can't see in the photo is the red contrast lining in the coat. I wish that would make a style return-it was such a great look.  Contrast piping is nice as well.  This nylon dress is silky and lightweight. It really is too big, and belting it messes up the overall line. I will find a new home for it where someone can give it the styling it deserves. I'm a sucker for a nice print, and wrinkle-free fabric

Yes, I own a Guerlain umbrella. I've had it since the early 90's, and it is showing wear but I'll never part with it. I found this Paris print novelty skirt recently for a dollar. It is early 2000's and made of a very thin cotton. As it was cold and windy today, I decided to employ a pair of, "Pervert-Proof-Panties".  I've stopped caring what the neighbours might think of my antics.  What's a little side-eye, anyway?  Outfit Particulars: Bandolino skirt-Thrift World Vintage Jantzen wool sweater-Thrift World Belt-Goodwill Vintage handbag-can't remember (had it at least 25 years) Shoes-Goodwill Bakelite bangles-all over Bakelite brooch-Goodwill Earrings-New Life Thrift Fragrance-Guerlain Parure The skirt was fun to wear, once. I'm not in love with the pleats, and it really is a bit big, so it has already migrated to the "Donate" bag in the front hall. When it is full, we'll drop the items at Hand-Me-Ups and with any luck, Thrift-Sho
