Revas Rags 2 Roses: black and white striped leggings

Hi everyone!

I hope your weekend was super. I am officially on-the-mend, so I couldn't wait to slip on this thrifted James Coviello silk dress. Honestly, I hadn't heard of him at the time, but this creamy little number guarded in black, sort of smelled designer. It also reminded me of something Marc Jacobs would have done a few years back. And I Love Marc Jacobs' imagination!

Though it was a size (or two) too small, I always snatch them up and try em' on. I've scored lots of favorites that way. When smaller sizes fit, that's always a good sign of quality. I'm not sure why? Wealthy people need to think themselves thinner? Cheaper clothes, less fabric? Hmm?

There it is: New York Fashion week 2007

vintage Alice

This dress paired with these F21 leggings reminded me of Alice. I started to look for her in black and white tights, but she must have a huge wardrobe. I even saw her in a green and red dress. The nerve... I did find my mind's eye Alice (finally). Blue dress and stripes. So, I decided this is more of Alice, circa the 1920's...
