I really had no business breaking out cotton blouses on this day, but the outside temperature said it was close to 60 degrees, and I believed it! Damn the wind-chill.
I learned last week that we in Portland have a new Brooklyn Industries. I used to visit the one on Bedford when I lived in, well, Brooklyn. Historically, I tend to think of that place as only an excellent resource for man-purses, but a quick turn about the new store made me rethink this. They have far more clothes now (and really cute ones, at that) than they used to. Like this little nautical dress, which is strangely alluring. So, the moral of the story is that A.)they're not just for man-purses anymore, and B.)it sounds like they're expanding + cropping up all over the place.
I really love this particular red and this blue together.
It reminds me of Paddington bear. Is that who I'm thinking of? Actually, I think that Paddington might have a yellow hat...so maybe it's just the blue coat. And how often do characters from children's books come up on this blog? Goodness.
I guess we all know who my real style icons are.
