I really like that.  But not with the tassels.  And not at $1,250.00 either.

If I had the money to waste, I'd buy myself a complete outfit and wear it proudly.     Just to be counter-culture.

Ah, that's impressive!
Oldschool clothing is a great choice because it's easy to fit with underground and rock styles!

I'm not into western styles, but they sell authentic western stuff too - for men and women.

Rhyv. wouldn't you like to get yourself one of those parasols and stroll down your street on a sunny day with it?

  Absolutely! It would be an ode to old beautiful, artistic and poetic times.

Skirts and dresses are totally my thing. I want to go no-pants this summer but it probably won't work out that way--shorts are just too convenient.

Skirts with floral prints have really been my jam lately. I've been wanting to get more (I own a frilly, pastel, knee-length one) but I'm kinda broke. Oh well. Still pretty to look at in stores, I guess.

Haunt the thrift shops.  You'd be surprised the quality skirts women get rid of.

There aren't any good secondhand places around here but I haven't looked super far. I hear that a good trick is to go to thrift stores in richer neighborhoods because they get rid of designer stuff more often?

I find them in just regular second-hand stores.  I've even found wool shirts that were custom made.  I wear a very small size, so I get lucky often.  If I wore a size 8 or 10, I wouldn't have a lot of luck because that's a common size.

Yeah, sometimes people get rid of clothes they just used once or twice and they are from good fabrics or brands.

My personal favourites are crinkle gypsy skirts.  Really full ones.
I have some 12 yard skirts.  25 yard looks amazing!  That's next on my wish list...

Skirts are usually made of threads.

That looks like something Stevie Nicks would wear.
