Some necklaces that I made eons ago.  Fake fruit always stays fresh!

I walked by this tree, and its scent made me stop.  Flower power perfume forever!

Citrus-slash-stone-fruit season's afoot.  And you can't say "fruit afoot" without thinking about Fruit by the Foot, Fruit Roll-Ups' less plasticky produce cosplayer.  But in this orchard of old clothes I'm wearing, there are two new things to chew on, namely the bags.  The lemon one brings the beaded trend, and the cherry one boasts an also (still?) trendy bow.  They make me happy, like I could tuck my worries into cute carryalls and let the fruit juice juju douse my doubts.

So don't let anyone tell you that accessories are frivolous.  Accessories are amulets.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to glue rhinestones to my strawberry-emblazoned breastplate.
