I have always been a fan of the Mexican embroidered peasant blouse. My mom used to wear one when I was really young, and I know she wore the heck out of them in college. My absolute favorite dress of all time when I was a kid was a kelly green shift dress with yellow and white embroidery along the collar and sleeves. I wore it to every birthday, party, or other dress-appropriate event from age 4 until I couldn't possibly fit into it anymore. So I've decided to wholeheartedly embrace the new (or rather, returning) trend of the embroidered peasant blouse. Now, I must admit that a little piece of me died inside when I had to buy my precious blouse at a Forever 21 in liu of a market in Zihuatanejo, Mexico. But I think I can come to terms with it. After all, if $9 got me a ticket to Mexico, I'd be there in an instant...as it is, it got me this blouse.
I am slowly but surely breaking in my precious new Seychelles. After applying a bit of mink oil to the leather the other day, they are much more flexible and caused almost no blister pain! They took me all the way to Devon Ave, where we met up with some friends and enjoyed a most delicious Southern Indian dinner. After a long day of laundry, dishes, tidying and Monopoly (yes, that's virtually all we do!), a spicy tasty vegetarian dinner with friends was just the ticket. Yummers. How did you all spend your Memorial Day weekend?
