Updated Hippy Style

I was a flower child in the ’60s. Two of my favourite fashion trends at the time were flowers and tie-dyed clothes. I dabbled in tie-dying and turned a plain white T-shirt into a work of art.

When I saw this dress on Jean’s Drizzle & Shine website and Instagram, it reminded me of my T-shirt, same colours. Only this dress is far more stylish with bell sleeves and I love the addition of lace and tassels. far out — as I used to say!

Urban Dictionary: far out

When something is cool, you say Far Out! Often used by hippies.

You can imagine my delight when the dress arrived in a package that Jean sent.

“Made in the U.S.A. Scrapbook embraces a free-spirited energy and a true love for art, music, and all things vintage.”

I wore it with black thrifted booties to go shopping at Hudson’s Bay on the weekend.

I was looking for booties and found this cute pair of velvet (non leather) booties with a floral print.

Silver necklace with flower, butterfly and dragonfly, and peace-sign earrings and rings for a ’60s vibe.

I can’t wait to get back to Seattle for another shopping spree!

Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends and family!
