How perfect—yesterday as I was wishing my coworker at the cash register a happy solstice, I spied a Sun, Earth + Moon dress on a nearby rack. Coworkers who love clothes, like Emmler, dig out fantastic finds for cheap, but I almost never look at clothes, because I don’t care.
I bought this one though (it was half-off—only $4–but I’d have paid full price). Unfortunately it’s polyester—hot—but I cut off the sleeves and collars, and wearing a dress is cool on the legs at least…
You can see the light of the donations door, in the background—the heat and humidity pour in—we’re working in a sauna.
I’m sorting a box of incoming toys here.
SCORE on the frock!! Heat undoes people and we are headed in that direction all over the globe. Get used to it or die- I will do the later - cannot live in heat. SO- the weather we are having right now up here in the northwest is just perfect- Still wearing winterish gear.
ReplyDeleteLINDA SUE: I love that word “frock”—have you read Barbara Pym (London 1950s)?
Delete"Frock" is an excellent word. I used to make dresses that I called frocks because they were just so...frocky.
ReplyDeleteI like that one!
Don't even talk to me about heat. Okay. Go ahead. I'm going to go jump in the river.
MS MOON: you win for heat, there is no doubt. But I do wish my workplace had a system to block incoming heat & cold, like other thrift stores I’ve worked at had. 🙄
ReplyDeleteThat looks just right..smart but practical for working there in the summer
ReplyDeletegreat dress for the heat! although the polyester would annoy me! kudos for realizing how to make it more comfortable.
ReplyDeletei also love big flowy skirts (think gauzy and cotton) for the summer.

Also I just have to say - I keep coming back to the girlette's parade- the genius of it all!
