Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

Jilli, that is so perfectly you. What hat would you wear with it though? I'm seeing something small with a lace veil in front, but I don't know if that's your kind of hat or not? More JZ, maybe.

Hee! I want to put you in 50s dresses with full skirts and petticoats. Don't ask me why, but that's what the you that lives in my head is always wearing.
(Of course, right now I'm flopping around the house wearing a velvet skirt and a Gothic Charm School baby-tee, but that's what one wears when one is working from home.)

Oh, I would wear it with my regular top hat. Or my hair pulled back with enormous lace-festooned ties/scruncy things. Or a mini top hat with a chin-length veil.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Concurring.
Jilli, love the dress.
I need to go thrift shopping. Have no time until... mid-October. Grump.

Strangely, I'm cutting back on thrift shopping. Instead, I'm going to save up my spending money and use it to get things (like that dress) custom-made for me. The last couple of times I've been thrifting, I haven't really found much.
But mid-October is a good time for thrift shopping. The stores put out all the cool stuff they've been hoarding for Halloween.

I ADORE that look. Seriously. I would wear them all the time if I had them.

Time or money? Cause I missed the thrifting expedition in May, and, as far as I know, the Saturday I'm up there is clear.
Unless that was when we were planning to go make out with Chris Isaak, which hey, I'm still up for.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Netnanny is blocking the pic--can I get a description of your lovely, Jilli?
Today I'm dressed in clothes that are "me." But I do need to get a longer crinoline to wear with this lovely pink shirtwaist dress with a lace front. The crinoline I have only works for my other shirtwaist dresses.
It's weird--I can put together more than one work week of vintage, between 50s and 60s. I never would have guessed.
And then there's my perkygoth outfit, finished up by the masterful Jilli with stripey tights. Boy, does it ever make people stare at my knees.
