There is something super girlish about a Peter Pan collar (or should that be “childish”?) but I love it, even though I’m probably too old to still be wearing it. Oh well. Dressing one’s age is overrated. Combined with my tortoiseshell glasses, the overall effect was decidedly … schoolgirlish. I ain’t mad.

You guys remember my mustard yellow loafers, right? They’re still pretty awesome, as is this vintage brooch I picked up … somewhere in town. It may have been at Ibon, which seems to have either closed down or relocated from its Calgary Trail location. If anyone happens to have any intel, please drop me a comment. And if anyone has suggestions for other places where a girl can hunt for vintage brooches in this town, let me have those too, please.

  1. Love this look. I, too, am on the hunt for vintage brooches…let me know if you find any good online sources. #bringbackthebrooch 🙂

    • Thanks! Cool fact: I saw a photo online of the Spanish queen wearing a dress in the same pattern (she is a big Hugo Boss fan, apparently). I feel extra fancy now whenever I wear this skirt (which I thrifted for $8 at Value Village, LOL!)
