Citrus Trip

Well, well, the very last on my Selkie ISO list is now sitting safely in my closet, waiting to be taken in at the waist and let out at the sleeves, but first photos.  That's right, I finally snagged this flower-power Selkie Citrus Trip Day Dress on Posh for a song.  It's one size too big and I hate these stupid sleeves, but I can fix all that and then, I think I am kind of done with Selkie.  More on that to follow soon.

As a child of the early 80s, our home was very much 70s styled and as my parents had no money, they kept and continued wearing all their 70s clothes well into the mid to late 80s, and this identical print featured on something my mom owned, except instead of these pastels, the colors were burnt orange, olive green, and white.  

I never loved the colors on that thing, whatever it was, like her high school folder or something, but I did always love that bombardment of flowers in the print.  Also, the silly sleeves are totally a 70s staple and remind me of my mom's homecoming dresses from the late 70s, which, yes, I still have and really should break out for the blog sometime for comparison.

In the meantime, I have some sewing to do on this little beauty to really make it mine and just as a little tip here, my hairstyle is the just got outta bed look that I usually rock on Sunday mornings.  I spritz my dry hair with Lottabody setting lotion and then do a simple twist, secure both twist together with an elastic  and go to bed.  In the morning my hair is dry and has nice loose waves once I get around to untwisting them. 

I guess it is finally time we address the stylish elephant in the room and talk about my Selkie issues, so that will be discussed in an upcoming post.
