Yeah, right!
Today was hot, and I had to go out in it. :(
I've said this before, I HATE the heat. Can't stand it. Any humidity and it doesn't matter how long I've spent on my hair or how much product I put in it, I end up looking like a really bad Diana Ross impersonator. I hate getting sweaty AT ALL. I think thats why I love yoga so much, I love feeling the stretch and the burn without the breathlessness and sweating.
But I did need to go out and brave the sun today. I had a big ol' bag full of books I don't want anymore, and with Christmas just around the corner, it couldn't hurt to have a little extra cash in the form of an exchange voucher from Elizabeths!
I love Elizabeths (except for their complete lack of cataloguing; you're a freaking bookshop!! GAH!). Whenever I can, I buy my books from there. Second hand cook books have way more character than brand new, and sometimes the previous cook has left helpful little hints, or little clipped out recipes! And I have such a narrow taste in literature that most of the classics I buy, I don't actually like (sorry classic literature lovers!), and that's where my favourite part of Elizabeths comes in; you take your books back when you're done with them and they exchange them for store credit towards (yep, one of my favourite things), MORE BOOKS!! :)
So this is what I wore to try and brave the heat. Nothing fancy, and nothing particularly vintage. I think the top might be late 60s/early 70s? But I'm basing that on the print and the sleeves (Dolman, or just Dolman-esque?), and hey, I've been wrong before. I've spent way too much $$$ on a dress I was CONVINCED was from the 40s, until it was shipped to me and I opened it and realised, it was an 80s repro. Ah well! Can't win them all. :)
