I think I need to take it more seriously when my outfits inspire comments like "You're looking very Russian Immigrant today." I'm the first to admit that I can't resist a long hemline, or that wrapping a scarf around one's head sounds like a perfectly acceptable way to keep warm to me... but I should probably be mindful that I am treading on dangerous ground when I throw fingerless gloves into the mix. All I can really say when faced with all this logic is, whateva. Babushkas can be hot. And these clothes just happen to be perfect for chasing down children all day. Russian grannies know wussup!

you look SO CUTE. i adore this whole outfit; the ellis island look rocks. those ladies knew what was up. practicality and beauty.
Sometimes when I'm walking down the street, I realize I'm dressed very similarly to the homeless people in my neighborhood. Such is life.
Tee hee. All you need is an apron to complete the look!
The title of this post made me grin. I love it! And fingerless gloves are actually one of the best inventions ever. My love calls mine my "Jud Nelsons" - I think I do go around looking a bit Breakfast Club rather often... Haha. xx
