Fall For Color

It took me many years to get over black as a daily clothing essential. When I did though, I never looked back. (Besides I have dogs. Standing in an office parking lot, sticky rolling my clothes just doesn't work for me.)

Color--BOLD color--makes such a bigger statement. Anyone can pull off black, but red? Purple? Yellow, red and purple?

A friend tells me, I'm returning to my roots. As a kid I was all about color: plaid, polka-dots--both, mixed together. My poor mother. All she wanted was a sweet little girl in patent  Mary Janes and a pastel smock dress. I wanted green rainboots, orange polyester plaid, a  pink t-shirt and my cowboy hat. Things haven't changed too much since then.

Here are a few great color spots from my shop and around Etsy.

Enjoy, dahlila xxoo

Fall Fashion, Vintage Scarves

I finally got a chance to go shopping yesterday. Thrifting is so relaxing and I found some wonderful items including these 3 lovely scarves that aren't even posted yet. It's 105 degrees here today. I can only do so much. ;-)
This first beauty is by Echo, long, silk in rich shades of pink and chocolate brown. Perfect for fall. Long enough to tie up in your hair or drape around your neck.
This second screams airline stewardess in this photo, so dapper. It's made in Italy by Leonardi Designs. Fabulous geometric pattern, very sporty.

And finally, vintage Anne Klein in a deep wine, cream & dusty rose, silk. All three scarves have hand rolled edgings and all are in beautiful condition. I hope to have them all posted by Sunday.

P.S. Looking forward to autumn! I'm ready to wear scarves! :-)
