Bet you're starting the countdown! I've come over a bit hippy myself recently, but you do it better because you love the country so much.

No doubt had some boutique hipster picked it up, it'd be sold as "ethnic gypsy boho chic <br />Vintage" Skirt and sold for a pretty little sum at some silly London shop! Thank you for saving it and remembering its true origin, and the history of the town it came from the the people who made the trip to pick it up and bring it back to old blightly!

I love the way it looks on you and I love the top, too, and your ankle bracelets are killing me!!! I do have a necklace similar to yours that I got in the early 80's. I used to wear it as a headpiece. <br /><br />I have to learn more about the Overlanders! Never heard that name before. You are truly a torchbearer of style!!

If those hippies could see the prices of those vintage India dresses on eBay they'd be wishing they still had them! The purse in this post has me drooling and I just used my green purse you give me with the mirrors. I hope one of these days Chris and I can meet you and Jon in India so I can buy some of that beautiful old jewelry and watch the sunset with you both daily. I love your perspective, wisdom and well I just love you!

Haven't persuaded husband or kids that a trip to goa is a must, so am left fuming at the overpriced stuff in the uk knowing that I could pick them up for a song if we went back there.

There must be a market for it, or they wouldn't do it, but I wish that the people who made the items saw more of that profit. Any ethnic jewellery or clothing I own I found at thrift stores.<br /><br />I've never seen anklets like that - so much more interesting than the chain ones.

The cottons were fishy, the knits reeked of incense and patchouli, and the leathers had an odd metallic tang. (And for those too young to remember the 60s, trust me, washing the cottons was not an option because they'd dissolve in detergent.)<br /><br />What was the name of the goop we put on our hair? Neem?
