Still recovering from the shopping euphoria induced by the $1 sale at Bows and Arrows yesterday.
I got some killer shoes, a 1950s cocktail dress and tons of scraps of fabric for future pieces.

This is going to come as a shock to some of you, but I even bought a swimsuit. I haven't actually worn one since Junior high and until yesterday at Freestyle, I had not found one that I liked that fit right.

It got me pretty jazzed on spring/summer wardrobe musings. Also at Freestyle there were a couple pieces from an H&M Marimekko collection. Which I can't beleive I never knew about. Not that H&M ever has anything in my size. Here are some examples from the Spring 2008 collection.
