Fashion Fridays!
Dear Ether,
Welcome to Fashion Fridays! As we wind down to the end of the week we might as well have a bit of fun, right? I have some pretty neat things in my wardrobe that I’ve collected over the years, and thought I’d share them with you and get some real opinions (don’t worry, if you hate the trend my feelings won’t be hurt!). All you have to do is vote using my handy-dandy poll system.
To celebrate the launch of “Fashion Fridays” I’ve decided on my “Girl Friday” look. I’d say it’s a 1940’s-esque reporter vibe with a modern twist. Usually I wear it with a beautiful Pringle of Scotland burgundy kimono cashmere wrap-sweater that matches the Cartier belt, but since it’s the height of summer, I figured I’d leave it be. So, here are some pics (forgive their quality–I’m only using a 6 pixel point and shoot with crummy lighting in my humble home) and vote! Enjoy and happy Friday! Have a great weekend and I’ll speak to you tomorrow.
Dedicatedly yours,
—One of 365
