sock garters

i finally got a set of swan diamond rose sock garters. tara makes them by hand in lots of good colors.



who doesn't love the trenchcoat flasher vibe of sock garters? really dirty without being overtly dirty. ideal.
it's springy enough here today that i can finally wear my 80s shirtdress. w 60s loafers & the ugliest warhol marilyn ever.


she's like frankenstein. love..




and the rykiel/h&m bangle.. very 20s/30s in style, color, weight. i got it in black too. great modern dimestore bakelite-substitute.

here is an original 20s/30s celluloid & paste bangle



i used to have a bunch but they started their rot and had to be disposed of, lest they infect the pieces like this that haven't yet started to break down. they'll all go bad eventually. enjoy it while it's here.

SDR- i'm so glad i finally got them! i've wanted a pair for a long while now. thanks for stopping by!

mml. julie - that's why i love her!! green and black on halloween orange - swampthing/glamour.. it's crazy and somehow goes w everything. i've been using mine for years and still smile when i think of the day i found it at ross of all places.
i was in line by a lady at the craft store last night who had it in red w black/white marilyn. i wonder how many colors it came in? it's a really good, well made bag. i'd use another one or two.. i think carrying 3 or more of these at once is a super good idea
