bustrkeatn:
Yesterday I went downtown to find some antique shops. And I did. And I realized that I get so depressed every time I enter one of those damn places.
I want to be the one wearing the 1930s silk floral-print, hand-beaded gown. I want to buy the black wool scoop hat with the veil. There was this gorgeous dress, I think it had been a peach color, but time had turned it gray, on a...
