My car decided to die (alternator, most likely.) So to fill space with photos instead of content, here are a couple recent ensembles, one prior to car death, one on the day of.
left, after a sweaty wait to try to get my car fixed: early 60s toile minidress with lovely bird/floral/fruit print – ebay; creme kneehighs – Target clearance; 70s navy leather t-straps – thrifted; Mary Pickford brooch – thrifted……..right, prior to sweltering in the summer heat: World’s Most Adorable Dog puppies in icecream cups jumperskirt – Baby, the Stars Shine Bright; handknit 40s cardigan – ebay; blue kneehighs – Target; mint tea party flats – Secret Shop; headbow - scrap of netting from vintage underskirt.
I have an hour to kill before I must head downstairs to the circulation desk to begin my shift, so I hope this post will be followed in a day or so with another, more interesting one!

I love both looks, but especially the toile minidress. How gorgeous! And the Mary Pickford dress is such a find. I hope your car doesn’t give you any more trouble!
