Crème de Menthe





Another mention of our local monthly antique and collector’s fair as I'm wearing a dress I bought there last month for $5. Mint colored 60s lace dress in minty condition? Yes, please! Also wearing leather late 60s/early 70s lace up go go boots. This outfit was tested out on the dance floor at a recent Fleshtones/Troublemakers show, and it held up to the boogie rather nicely. I need to be able to move with the groove so not all outfits make the cut!
Mint colored 60s cotton lace dress, $5 antique and collector’s fair last month
Late 60s/early 70s lace up go go boots, $50 ebay about 10 years ago
Vintage enamel pendant signed Inga, $15 ebay a few months ago
Goldielocks the cat, adopted us last year, priceless

  1. I LOVE how you put an outfit together- the fact that the ensemble must hold up to real life shenanigans is priceless: can i dance in it? can i drink in it? will it hold my food baby? check. Looking stinkin' GORGEOUS as ever, girl! xo. -Bella Q

  8. I adore those go go boots. They bring me back to my youth, when I lusted after them. With a yearning that can't be described. Back then, I had no opportunity to wear them and that just made the urge worse. I'm happy to see them on your happy feet!
