Chilli-y Day

Today was ye typical Autumn day so summery dress and fur lined suede vest required.
It's my 'chilli-y' look...hot and cold... J ...and it continues my current red & blue mood.

Fur-lined vests make me feel like Pocohontas...hence the fringe pouch for carrying medicinal herbs, spirit stones, flint, etc and in the real world, carrying keys, mobile and moola...
By the way, has the world forgotten Native Americans? I feel a strong kinship and not just because Columbus made a wrong turn...

wearing:
cheapo long cobalt dress * retro fur-lined suede vest * fringe pouch * raffia & canvas wedges * glitter solid resin bangle * blue heart earrings * rose coloured heart sunglasses...

******************************

....about the pouch...although I have -at last count- far too many bags, I don't always like carrying bags. I like having both hands free so, one day... I made these.


I know what you think you know them as (bumbags. urgh. fanny packs. noooo!) but forget that...these are GammaBags. When I first started, I used to hand sew the rows of sequins... much pain and no life later...I found machinists... Anyway, they're quite popular, I sell about 10 a week, buy them here.

The dress is so lovely and I love the fringe pouch... what a great way to accessorize. You are really fabulous.

I've read three posts and I feel that you are my friend already. There's something about the way you write that really clicked to me.
