Imperfect Rose

Roses are my favorite… but not the hot house kind you get at the local 7-11 the ones that grow in people’s gardens. Hot house roses are too perfect, tight buds that never come to fruition. Garden roses are fragrant with velvety petals and organic shapes, their beauty is in their imperfection, and the rareity as you just can’t get them anywhere, you have to grow them, or know someone who grows them, else they are very expensive.

Here I’m wearing 90% thrifted outfit. Except the shoes, everything came from the flea market… and the fringe came from the fabric store, and I applied it to the flea market tank. The outfit is imperfect, 90′s harem pants with elastic waist, a long cardigan slightly too large, but all in all it’s the nuances that make it work. And of course my shoes, I can’t say enough how comfortable these little ladies are!
