I was so flattered when Jane sent me a link to the post she wrote today: Style Inspiration: Floral Tee. She thought of me when she wrote it! So sweet! When I saw the post, I immediately began to laugh because I already own that t-shirt. I have the black version, as below. I bought it at Robber last Friday when Geoff & I stopped by to help hang feathers. I then proceeded to wear it three days in a row. Like you do when you get something new that is exciting to you.
For a few seconds I wondered if I had already mentioned the t-shirt somewhere -- but I don't think I did! Jane is just that good.

Jane, thank you. I love it. It's perfect.
(Incidentally, a few of you have mentioned to me that Alternative Apparel charges quite a bit for shipping to Canada, but if you're in Toronto, Robber carries a nice selection.)
REPLIES
Bess: It's true, I have admired that about her for a long time! Thank you.
kerri: If it's any consolation, I never think that someone who doesn't respond is being rude. It's a lot to ask in the first place that people be willing to share their lives with strangers!
Olivia Jeffries: Thank you! I hope so.
danielle and dinosaur toes: I have tried to do that myself, but it's discouraging when you don't know if it will be read. This way, maybe someone will read it. We'll see!
Diana: Thanks. I have a hard time keeping up too, but I'm hoping that this will put a little more care into having a blog. I was horrified the other day when I started to delete an email with a comment in it before I had even finished reading the comment. A certain amount of mindlessness has crept in, when someone was nice enough to take the time to comment. Awful.
Meggy: I think she codes it manually, with a hard rule and smaller font size attribution. It's what I'm doing, too.
Hope Chella: I agree! I had to share it.
fanny: Yes, it's all about community!
Lexie: I tried to do that for a while, but it doesn't always work for me. For one thing, not everyone has a blog. Sometimes people will ask me a question and I have absolutely no means of responding other than in my comments. Also, it can be very distracting and time-consuming. I read blogs in one mode, I comment in another, and I reply in yet another.
Flor M.: I agree!
ilovesasek: I actually started thinking about this after reading a blog post where the writer was expressing unhappiness that she only gets comments on her blog when she comments on other blogs. I personally don't comment on other blogs to get comments on my blog, but I don't know what other people are thinking, and I am just going to put in that extra bit of effort. It's hard!
tara-lynn: Please never feel shy. I always feel so happy when you leave me a comment!
melly: Thank you!
hibou: I hope it works out. We'll see!
Yay! I'm so relieved you like it. I've been shaky all morning wondering if you would.
ReplyDeleteAnd no, I didn't know you had the tee. I saw it and thought I might create an outfit for myself with it. Then thought, who am I kidding, it's totally Anabela!!
Oh man, I want all of the things in this post :( Especially those brogues, UGH! but they are a pretty penny, and also I am not allowed to buy them besides.
ReplyDeleteAnd it all makes me wish so badly for spring.
What a great shirt. I haven't been following that blog and I will have to check it out!
ReplyDeleteIts really lovely. I find your style very inspiring.

ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I have a similar shirt that I managed to dump a plate of buttery perogies on in the summer (typical). I might have to get one of these to replace it.
ReplyDeleteCongrats and how flattering. That tee does seem perfect for you!
ReplyDeleteHi Erin - no I hadn't a clue. I knew she loved your pieces, but didn't know which ones she owned!
