simple things

Posted by on Jan 11, 2009 in dressing songy

I’m listening to Otis Redding’s My Lover’s Prayer. For no special reason it feels so right to listen to an old song today. 

I’ve been looking through my feed reader to see what I can post in C’est si belle as it’s been neglected for a while now. This particular photo isn’t something I’d have in my side blog but I instantly fell in love with it. There’s nothing much to it really. Pencil/A line skirt, cardigan, socks and a pair of brogues. Very Parisian I’d say.

Although I’m always out to see what’s in fashion and what’s coming up next it’s always comforting to know that I’m not a slave to current trends and we are living in the time when styles don’t have be driven by anyone but ourselves. If someone says otherwise I’d like to tell them (with all existing courage coujured up) to piss off. 

This has been a short post. I’m having a lazy day. It’s Sunday after all. I might go out with my guy to see if we could find some nice whisky glasses. Yes, my love is a scotch whisky drinker. His favouriate is Laphroaig. You won’t see me sipping Laphroaig but you might catch me sipping some Margarita. It’s stinking hot after all.

    Love that picture. And I’m insanely jealous that it’s hot where you’re at – there is a foot of snow outside my apartment right now!

    Hi, Songy! Oh that’s nice cuz my man is a whisky drinker as well…loves Lagavulin and Laphroaig while I’m a Martini girl.
    As with current trends, I’m not quite a fan of belts cinched on the waist. I prefer the hipster dresses of the 60′s.
    I wish I can be lazy on Sundays as you. =)

    Maybe it’s an age thing for us, as well as a time in fashions cycle, because plenty of 15/16 kids think there are fashion rules and trends and are desperate to follow them!
    Thank-god for today’s weather, hey? I was ready to move to the UK last week.
