I’m glad I found this blog! I’m a college student and Monday to Thursday, I generally can’t be bothered to put on anything but jeans and a zip up hoodie or one of my solid-color cashmere sweaters. But then it gets to be the weekend and I step out in my lipstick (pink, plum, but especially red) and people are like oh, my God! Lipstick. And I think well, duh, there’s more to face then sloppy black eyeliner. And I definitely think of my clothes in terms of themes: sexy librarian, tomboy, foxy lumberjack, Apollonia, etc., even if it’s not vintage-inspired. That being said, I get pretty lazy when it’s not time for a party. Thanks, guys.

Goodness, are there ANY positive images of purple people in our cultural imagination??

No wonder you have such a dreamy vintage store.

In middle school, I loved wearing a purple turtleneck with purple ankle-zip jeans and I would wear a huge purple parka over the whole thing.
