Minted

Here is one of my purchases from Junkee, the store I went to in Reno. The brand of the dress is Montgomery Ward haha. Crazy how things change in your lifetime, or in just 2 years of leaving the country. I came back from Mexico and the King of Pop was dead, people were fast forwarding their televisions through commercials, and that person in the "Just Dance" video WASN'T Xtina Aguilera. At least we can count on fashion to stay the same, or come back in cycles. Does make for an interesting conundrum though, "What clothes do we keep for our children?" You can't keep everything, and chances are if you are storing some trendy threads from Forever 21 in giant tupperware in your attic, when you pull it down 2 years later its going to come out feeling like beef jerky and smelling like it too. I asked my mother once, as I have a few things that belonged to her, how she decided on what she would keep for her unborn, genderless child one day. She said, "I just kept the things that I hoped you'd like," that simple, unpoetic. I'm just glad that I have a lot of vintage already, that way I know it will never be dated. Montgomery Ward will never be closed if you keep the plastic card in your bathroom drawer and the mint dress in your closet.

It's that time of year again, when my feet are darker than my shoes. 

How I got this necklace to fit around my nugget? Added a bit of craft chain I had to make it longer, one jump hoop later. magic. I like this idea, and will do it more since I have so many necklaces that are not worthy of my neck.
