Rush To Rekindle

years ago i got massively obsessed with eBay. i loved scouring page after page of vintage treasures, searching for anything and everything that would appease my hunger for things of decades past. i vividly recall a phase in which all i seemed to want was the pussy bow. it didn’t matter if it was a blouse, a dress, something ridiculously oversized or blatantly old-fashioned; i wanted it. i needed it. i even bid on a few things and managed to win a couple of dresses — both of which i never used because they were just too big on me (they were super cute though!). i later sold them online and felt a funny sort of pang from the memory of my fervent — albeit shortlived — infatuation with the pussy bow.

anyway i came across this dress months ago and it was majorly marked down so i just had to get it. truthfully it’s the kind of piece i would have bought full price, but getting something half-off is pretty great, too. i love this dress so much: its slinky fabric, perfect fit, and the standard midi length i am just crazy about. the bow is the cherry on top; a gentle nudge to a past that unfailingly makes me smile with delight.

dress – unarosa
shoes – so! fab
bag – thrifted
