thrift(finds).

found this week and last, at my usual secondhand haunts here in san francisco.

***

looks handmade:

thrifted rainbow bag

a restyled this one a bit, by shortening it and then elasticating the hem. it bubbles nicely now:

tropical 80s dress

i love the ruffles on the sleeves:

thrifted yellow vest, belt and skirt

my favorite find of the week...just the most perfect colors, and lusciously large supergraphics:

colorblock dress

quotes: innovation, life-long learning, and rule-breaking style

some quotes i've been loving lately: "...innovation wakes it up/breaks it up/makes you think and question..." -just for the kick by coldcut

when sarah jessica parker was asked what she learned stylewise from being on sex and the city in a recent issue of people magazine, she responded:

"...That there shouldn't be rules! I always believed in hardcore aesthetic rules-"No white after Labor Day." And I matched, because I thought it was ladylike. I matched my clothes my whole life-at least until Pat Field got ahold of me!"
