who knew that a pair of red wool pants would turn out to be my favorite pair?  they feel seasonless and  seem to go with a ton of things in my wardrobe.  i already thinking of a replacement pair as i've been wearing these ones way too much and the thought of not having a standby pair makes me a little nervous.

this vintage fashion dictionary just came in the mail last week and it hasn't left my side ever since.  its got everything i ever wanted to know about vintage clothing under one cover,  and a lot i probably don't really need  to know like the fact that a paludamentum is a loose mantle worn by roman emperors and generals... (don't you feel like a better person now that you know that?) at any rate, the shop descriptions just may get a wee bit little bit fancier from now on.  i promise no paludementums though. ;)
