Young Love

Last year I was head over heels for Peter Bjorn and John’s Young Folks; a few years previous I was obsessed with the quirky Napoleon Dynamite; and now my heart belongs to this unconventional Young Love Tee from Delia’s which manages to conjure up thoughts of both beloved fads of my past.

The black and white sketch epitomizes the true meaning of fashionable young love – she in a 60’s inspired ensemble complete with thick-framed glasses, ankle socks, and short shorts; he in a bowler hat with skinny jeans and a trendy scarf exuding a relaxed, laid-back cool guy persona – while maintaining an easy, breezy, retro feel that you could eat up with a spoon. Reminiscent of the illustration’s found within the pages of Louise Fitzhugh’s Harriet the Spy, this is one of those rare finds that impulse buys were made for.

Now that’s what I’m talking about!

Fashionably yours!


Thanks to Delia's for the picture.
