this is an outfit i have for many years.

the dress is vintage its a long beautiful piece of lace.

the skirt is from an english designer, christa davis.

blouse from a shop which is now closed down but sold amazing clothes, does anyone remember Platform?

i had great news on lucy's today, a film crew came to the shop to shoot a piece for a failte ireland ad. what an exciting experience they filmed for a half an hour.

passion

i got up today at 6am. I definitely am a morning person. I love the stillness of the day at that time. I have a room beside my bedroom where I keep my clothes. everything is on rails. They are in separate categories. Tops with tops, skirts with skirts, colour coded, season coded, summer in storage at the moment. As i read this i realise how obsessive i am.
.
So at 6am i decided to go through all the garments. It was paradise, i spent 3 hours sorting, trying on, and organizing my clothes. while i was going through them i was trying to think, why do i love this so much?
.
the conclusion I've come up with is that i love the visual element of clothes, how beautiful the fabric is, how clever the design is, the fantasy clothes can create, the touch of fabric, the millions of possibilities humans come up with using this medium.

.
I really love clothes so much. I am so glad i found such a simple thing that gives me so much pleasure and happiness.

Do other people feel this way about a passion in their life? please tell me your tales either through the blog, email or visit me in Lucy's. maybe we could a start up a club.
Lucy's tea party next Sunday from 3 to 5pm April 5th is about this. come along d
