weekend distraction: le bomb shop

Have been browsing this shop for retro options for spring/summer. They have some great 50s silhouettes: circle skirts, wiggle dresses, peplum tops, high-waisted shorts… Move over Joan Holloway.

Here are the pieces on my shortlist:

Probably not this, but I like it.$T2eC16RHJHoE9n3Ke9mrBQL1)9chiw~~60_3

Always looking for light (linen or thin cotton) white/ivory dresses for summer. $T2eC16V,!yUE9s6NElrzBQW42DS,8Q~~60_1 $(KGrHqJ,!g4E6ZKEV7CDBOp,ECrZ,g~~60_1

Or this in black…$(KGrHqF,!jME4oUPEPeEBONzwF7dG!~~_1

Love these full circle skirts that reach just past the knee. I find that vintage silhouette so youthful and flattering, ideal for a sundress (as if you would have to be eating a Popsicle if you were wearing one). Especially keen on this last floral one. I recognize that it is not exactly versatile but…I don’t care. The magenta wiggle skirt I love, too. Definitely want this or something like this.

all about: the white shirt

The new sunglasses and the new pumps together in this understated look, which is a great example of the simple, casual yet polished style I like so much. Bold, minimal accents with a clean base.

This is what I look like when I can’t tell if the camera is doing what I want it to do.

Oh, and this is what my hair looks like down. Sometimes.

 I love a loose white buttoned shirt in a good fabric. That or a white shirt without buttons that drapes as well as one with them. There is something quintessentially summery about them and, evidently, about me, as they are one item I can’t seem to get enough of. Like to wear  just slightly oversized masculine exemplars of this style, too. Always seem to end up rolling up the sleeves, no matter the fit.

Gap button-down, Free People jeans (thrifted – I wear these a lot), Cole Haan suede pumps (the shape of which I like so much), Spektre sunglasses, Kara Ross bracelet. On the lips: Revlon lipstick in Siren.
