My first real experiment with nighttime photography was successful! Major kudos for my little brother, who magnanimously donated his patience and stellar new camera to help me take these. I got slightly carried away editing them, but I think they turned out awesome.
Believe it or not, this is a different black blazer than the one I wore here. Though I suppose they do look exactly the same. I bought them both at the bag sale.
The shoes used to belong to my mom. I dug them out of her closet last week and have been playing around with them ever since. They are terrifically comfortable and just the right amount of retro.
This dress was another bag sale find. It actually falls to midcalf and strongly resembles a potato sack, but after hacking off the sleeves and doing some nifty safety-pinning, I have created myself a neat little dropwaisted number. I love how exaggerated the shoulders are.
The necklace and bracelet also belong to my mom. I think I have permanently seized the necklace, but she refuses to relinquish the bracelet for good.
I suppose we can share it.
Vintage silk dress, vintage men's blazer, Nicole Miller black tights, vintage suede and cork wedges, all accessories borrowed or taken from Mom
Regarding Fashion Week, I have already seen about a zillion things I love. I promise to post some of my favorites soon!

I've amassed a collection of metal cuff bracelets, all stolen from my mother.
I have no idea what era she bought them in but they are great. Whenever I see one in a store for actual money I'm like, 'ugggh, come on the ones I stole are so much better'.
I really love your wedges!
GORGEOUS!
haha, in the first picture it looks like you just have disembodied arms. ;)
That dress is very cute! Very clever of you to reconstruct it like that.
