like something blooming
Fluid gowns, scrunched hose, and bird's-nest hair - a juxtaposition that puts me in mind of the elegantly graceful yet tenuously fragile women of Fitzgerald's novels.
"You're the only girl I've seen for a very long time that actually did look like something blooming."
~Tender is the Night, F. Scott Fitzgerald

borrowing from the boys

I've always loved the jaunty ease of menswear trends. My latest favorite? The little boy's blazer. I thrifted one this summer and, after six weeks of anticipation, it was finally cool enough to wear it yesterday. And again today. :D
Sad as I am to see summer go, I can tell it will be a good fall.
