Just when you thought you could find ANYTHING on the Internet…..
I went through my annual ritual of shoveling out the girl cave, but dug a bit deeper this year. There’s a box under the table that probably hadn’t been opened in 30+ years. I opened it. Among other things, I found a bag with a blouse cut out to be sewn. The bag was from a mall where I grew up that was flattened by a tornado in the early 80s.
I figured I might as well sew this thing up. The styling is pretty timeless. I remembered why I had started this project. I loved a Rive Gauche perfume commercial in which a young woman (my age when I bought the supplies) was walking through a Paris market. I was trying to copy her blouse, bohemian that I thought I was.
I cannot find that commercial or any of the print ads for it. But trying to find it was an entertaining walk down my youthful fashion years! And just what does it say about my fashion sense when I feel okay about finishing up an item I started o ear 40 years ago? 😯
