simplicity

Happy Groundhog day?

I was just rereading my old blog entries, searching for this shot..

of beautiful vintage from allen company that 

I put up April 24, 2009. 

There is a point to this story. I promise. 

Anyway, aside from the fact that I am obsessed with Ruth Saltz 

handbags, and the little lion heads that look like squirrels, 

the skirt in the background of that picture always seemed to 

me to be very practical and simply perfect. 

I love that image and I tucked it away in one of my million desktop 

folders. 

When I was coordinating my skirts for the Fall 11 Split girl line,

I needed that silhouette. Plus pockets of course. 

I would wear a potato sack if it had pockets. *diversion

Our skirt, appropriately named the Allen, is Railroad stripe 

denim over dyed with navy. 

sigh. I just love this silhouette. So sweet. 

I also figured out, while scouring my old blogs, that I used to be

fun. What the hell happened? I am going to work on that. 

Did the groundhog see it's shadow? Not that I even remember

which one means Spring. Going to look that up. 

Wait. There are fourteen different groundhogs on record?

Thanks Wikipedia.

I guess I support Punxsutawney Phil and his non shadow aka 

early Spring.
