This photo is soooo NOT about fashion, is it? Above you see the outfit I pretty much wore everyday this month. The sweater, I wrote about HERE. The shirt was a companion gift from the boyfriend, a perfectly worn-in super soft 1970's vintage Joan Jett concert T-shirt. It's pretty fucking cool. I HEART my boyfriend sweater and concert tee; not in a stylish sort of way, but in a sentimental sort of way. Which is one of the greatest things about vintage + favorite garments, they comes with memories but leave room for you to make some more.
See you on the first, friends. -Bella Q
So excited for you that everything is coming together! Yay! I hope the settling in continues to go well. Will you be able to share details with us about your job? I'm thinking of you! XO, Jill
ReplyDeleteI love sentimental clothes I swear Vix has loads of them, funny enough stuff I have received from fellow bloggers is fast becoming some of my favorite things to wear. You look cozy and much loved! I dig your fiery hair Bella just as much as I love Joan Jett. She is a sexy ass tough talented woman, I wanted to be her in high school :) Congrats on the new job you love and the apartment. I bet you are happy to unpack your stuff and get settled. I thought of you this weekend as I roamed Seattle, such a cool city. I can't wait to go back and meet up with you for some shopping and whatever else we find ourselves doing.
ReplyDeleteTake care sweets~

ReplyDeleteLove your t-shirt and your sentimental clothes. I have random things in my closet too that instantly bring back happy memories. Oh, and a lucky shirt. Never giving that away.

I'm the same way. I can always remember what I was wearing on those special occasions.

P.S. Great Concert T
Sorry. You say this is not fashion? I think it's the heart and soul of fashion. Okay, maybe the word is style. I think it's the shoes that tell me that the rest is meaningful and deeply intentional, a reflection and statement.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your new spot.
Love, Jean
Exciting times Bella, good luck with the move! I like what you say about clothes which come with memories but have room to make more - that's comforting somehow. Looking forward to seeing you back when you're all settled in.

Love the idea of vintage clothes coming with memories, but leaving room to make more. All your transitions sound so exciting and full of life and energy.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, can't remember if I've said how much I like your hair red. It has struck me particularly today as I've just posted images of my vibrantly red-headed mum.
1) I have very similar leopard print flats. 2)Jeans and a tee is what I've had to force myself to not wear and experiment with fashion. 3)It is refreshing to see 40 year old woman still doing fashion blogs as I am slowly but surely reaching that age!-Jessica
