That Old Feeling




Time to remember that old feeling. It's still hazy, though. Time to straighten my shoulders, loosen my jaw and lighten my step. Due to nostalgia, sunny mornings, and naggings from a certain Taylor Kitto. . . I am returning to the blogging world (for realzies). I need to remember how to act somewhat natural in front of the camera lens. I need to recall the desire to wear beautifully impractical clothing (though it really never left).



Hiatus aside, I am back in gorgeous, forgiving Napa. Yesterday was spent wandering the quiet (enough) downtown and running through vineyards with the boy (looking dapper in a tweed coat). The sun shone on my face and I smiled at the dirt. My ankles missed being scraped by branches. Again I am delightfully mellow.


  1. lace blouse - u.o.
  2. leather belt - stolen from mom
  3. brown leather messenger - thrifted
  4. 1950's yellow skirt - thrifted
  5. white and linen oxfords - thrifted

Currently I sit eating funfetti cake with stupid lavender frosting, watching the spring rain and listening to this. Time to finish my homework so maybe I can work on getting the Tender Vintage store back up and running. . .!

What a beautiful outfit and setting. I love your yellow skirt (and am happy to see that someone else wears belts under the waistbands too:) and am a bit envious of the warm climate that allows you to go tight-less. Welcome back!

Welcome back!
That sunshine-y skirt is just perfect.
It's good to be back somewhere where the world feels lighter and brighter, isn't it?

I love this outfit. Yellow is my favorite Spring color, and the skirt with the lace blouse is absolutely wonderful. Napa is one of my favorite places...I often make the drive from SF to visit :-) xoxo

You're a sweet girl!
