Estate Sale Finds: Foldaway Paper Fan

I'm always a fan of old packaging, and got a kick out of the command printed on the box that this lovely paper fan came in:



Keep cool and be gay!

I know that gay had a different connotation back in the day, but I still think it is a funny admonition from a fan - the keeping cool part I can understand, but the command to go forth and be happy with nothing more than a small fan suggests powerful things from this little paper treasure.

Estate Sale Finds: Pattern Frenzy

I've been really interested in the trend of mixing a lot of prints and patterns lately, so I was delighted to find a number of shirts at an estate sale last week that push the boundaries of colors/patterns that I might normally wear.


I already had some fun mixing a bright floral blouse with a simple high waisted black and white striped skirt, and am interested to experiment with some of the other wild patterns in those blouses.



You can check out some outfit inspiration I've been pinning over at Pinterest - lots of bold patterns and bright colors.
