The bright 60's shirt and shift are definite keepers. And Great Buys -- the shirt was free, from a friend, and the shift was secondhand for $25.
The pastel tights were a disappointment (in 2013). This is my own artwork, and I used a company that required a printing of 6 pairs. They came out WAY too pastel for me. I managed to resell 4 pairs, and the remaining two I will upcycle into "yarn".
The Mary Jane clogs were a super bad buy (in 2012). I call them torture clogs, they are too small and make my feet numb after about an hour. Why do we do this to ourselves?
A fun way to explore your closet, inspired by music.

I was trying to find the cover version that I knew, without success. Not sure if I have the stamina to scour my record collection... What I could hear from my memory bank did not sync with what I found on YouTube. Here are some highlights from my YouTube search:
