Readers, I think I'm in a fashion rut. I have yet to solve
summer
2009's great riddles
(jumpsuits,
fedoras,
denim vests), nor can I fully get behind (heh) some its scarier offerings (short shorts,
boyfriend jeans). And so I'm escaping to all vintage, all of the time, which is not necessarily good. My closet is filled with polka dot scarves, bold floral prints,
starry blouses from a past season Kate Moss/Top Shop
line that do not fit (you were right, Deelee!), old-timey bags and wacky
Mrs. Roper jewelry. Can a wardrobe be
too fun? Too filled with unique pieces from eBay? Right now I want more than anything to be sitting in this vintage
Chloe outfit wearing vintage
'70s sunglasses and carrying this vintage
Ferragamo bag (by the way, I'd be sitting in my just-bought vintage
bar stools which look exactly like these). Yes, current fashion will always be derivative, but I wonder if I'm living too much in the past? Is there a "vintage overkill" line no chic woman should ever cross? 'Cause, man, if there is one, I fear I passed it miles ago.
