Street Scene: McLendon Avenue

The world may be divided between those who thrift and those who do not. The counter arguments are compelling: too much time spent in fruitless pursuit of appealing things that turn out not to be one's size. Even so, she and a friend visited the Douglasville Value Village, where this mohair winter coat appeared. Its carved wooden buttons could steal the scene in an episode of Mad Men. Paired with Steve Madden's up-to-the-minute boots, her look first caught my eye from a distance in a Decatur coffee shop. When our paths crossed again in Candler Park, it was kismet.

Summertime in Bohemia

A casual meeting, "May I plug in my laptop by you?" led me
to showing off this blog for her in a coffee shop. After all, the
word must be spread somehow. When she reappeared by
chance half an hour later, an invitation appear on it was
accepted. Of the pared-down-for-summer assemblage she
said, "I like to have a collection of things so I can get up and go."
Well chosen things they are and proof that great looks not just
what you wear but how you wear them.
