Out With the Old…

Well, it’s officially the end of the Noughties, and the start… and the start of the Teensies (as I have dubbed them).

As New Year’s Eve is also sometimes referred to Old Year’s Day, I thought it would behove me to reflect on the year past. Nothing too deep and meaningful, let me hastily assure you, this is not that kind of journal. Merely, let us allow our thoughts to dwell momentarily on the delicious additions to my wardrobe this year…

To wit: a vintage 1940s saucy tilt hat in tomato red, embellished with galloons; a bold tangerine striped top by Veronika Maine; an awesome and dashing pair of over-the-knee boots in buff leather; and last but certainly not least, an irresistible pair of shorts in candy pink taffeta found in Kinki Gerlinki. (I resisted that purchase for all of 24 hours.)

These were certainly not all my serendipitous discoveries this year. I call them serendipitous because I happened upon them when I was not shopping at all. Those are the most delightful finds of all!

So before you drink in the New Year, do take a moment to salute the old. Chin-chin!
