You create your own reality

I confess, when it boiled down to adding these funky lace bell-bottoms to the ultra-overfed racks in my closet, I conceded defeat. But there’s something distinguishing about combining stripes and massive flairs that lends to a Parisian 70’s element, and consequently makes me wish I were lounging at the Champ de Mars… honestly, I haven’t felt this retro since my high school hippie/rucksack wandering/metal head days.

And uhhh sorry, didn’t feel like brushing my hair. Bed-head tousled just seemed more appropriate.
