In my formative years I yearned to be bold enough to copy her and think my sense of whimsy comes for her influence. The fact is we can re-invent ourselves every day through our clothes and that's what I love to do.

I would've never thought to put all these pieces together, and I do feel that had I attempted this (even half of it), I'd probably resemble Cyndi Lauper on a really bad day. The sunnies and those tights. Brilliant.<br /><br />On the matter of brooches, I've recently discovered a great fondness for them and have been on the hunt for some decent vintage pieces. I haven't any I really fancy yet but Ruby Lane is my next destination.<br /><br />Anyway, what I really meant to write, Anna, is that you look really really lovely.Sheela Gohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13423910133495270826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5020891948274286259.post-20388928289734902122016-01-13T04:53:27.718+00:002016-01-13T04:53:27.718+00:00Am so very pleased to meet you too!
