During my bi-weekly trip to Goodwill the other day, I found this wonderful crochet blouse for only $3.99. I often wonder about the story behind the clothing I thrift and what sort of adventures (or misadventures) the previous owners experienced while wearing them. I imagine a twentysomething girl-about-town in the summer of 1973 throwing this blouse over a floral tank and hot shorts and finishing the look with platform sandals. This outfit is somewhat of a nod to that.

...or, of course, the blouse could have sat forgotten in the back of said twentysomething's closet, a hideous gift from her grandmother only to be rediscovered years later and tossed into a trash bag of "to be donated to Goodwill" items. In any case, it's now mine to be treasured and that I most certainly will.
