Days like these have me SERIOUSLY QUESTIONING why British Columbia doesn't utilize more wind power. This is such an opportunity for clean energy usage and to ease off our dependency on oil. I mean, look at these photos. We need to get some windmills up, stat.
I'm not sure if this pink mohair coat is from the 1950's, or the 1980's impersonating the 1950's, but either way I love it. Furry, warm, and the perfect pastel pink - what a coat! Vintage dreamgirl Hannah Metz seems to share my love of mohair, as I have seen her wear similar outerwear in outfit photos. Her classic looks and perfect curls have me constantly gravitating away from modernity and inspire me to stock my wardrobe with secondhand finery rather than falling for some of the throwaway style that big box stores push.
I get one of two reactions when I wear this in public: a. "girl, what do you think you are? A marshmallow?" or b. people find me really approachable and strangers will often strike up conversation - not about the coat, just about life. Wearing it always leads me on an interesting day.
This 1960's babiest of blues dress is one of my new favourites! I love a big collar and the fit is flattering and comfortable. I paired the pink/blue because I love pastels and the layering baby colours has been spotted on S/S 2012 runways as a hot trend. Soft colours: together as one? Yes, please!

P.S. It's windy.

Gorgeous colors! I love the look of the dress. Pastels are so popular right now. I really love it for spring. Also the red lipstick is so pretty on your light skin.
You are probably told this constantly but you look EXACTLY like Zooey Deschanel. When I saw your picture on Calivintage's tumblr I thought it was Zooey.
That seriously has to be the perfect dress! I love the collar and the shade of blue!

Your blue dress is beautiful and so classic! I would love to have one just like that. It looks perfect with that pink sweater.
You always look good with soft colors. It's like your second skin.
this combination is awesome! Loving the dress, but that coat has something really special. Would love to snatch it up :)
