I think I’m going to start documenting my outfits daily. Because

a) I like clothes

b) I like myself

c) I like being organized

d) I probably will stop doing this in 3 days, but it makes me feel like I have a goal to work towards

e) I kind of missed the whole NY Rez thing….

f) I feel like getting up every day is worth it

g) I can share myself with the world, who needs me dearly

h) I can pretend I’m important

i) Maybe it will help me figure out what the fosnot I want to do with my life. 

j) I have a camera

k) I have always toyed with this idea

k) It doesn’t matter what happens from this point on because as Plato says “The beginning is the most important part of the work”

And so it goes

I want to be able to make clothes.

Help?

Love all of these items from the costume shop!!! I keep trying to get them into shows, but so far I’ve been unsuccessful. Maybe I’ll actually wear this somewhere one day. 

…I have no explanation for my legs looking so tan in the winter. Lucky shot I guess!

Never underestimate the power of a terrific outfit to make you feel fantastic.

"We bore witness to scenes of feminine intimacy such as we had never seen before…girls and women of all ages, plain ones and pretty ones, well off and poor, vying with each other over the fabrics, the lace trimmings, ribbons, buttons, even the sewing thread of their dream wardrobes. Watching them during fittings, Luo and I were amazed to see how agitated they were, how impatient, how physical their desire for new clothes was. It would evidently take more than a political regime, more than dire poverty to stop a woman from wanting to be well dressed: it was a desire as old as the world, as old as the desire for children."

Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress, Dai Sijie

Does this remind anyone else of That 70’s Show?

Don’t get me wrong. I love it, but I could definitely see Jackie wearing it. 

The shoes are another example of Jeffery Campbell’s brilliance in action. The color is growing on me.

And the dress well, that’s just interesting… It could be really cute with a belt!

SOOO many loves on ModCloth today. I will try to be as brief as humanly possible. 

1. Is it wrong to love a onesie? Because this one is tdf.

2. Do gold and brown EVER look this good? I think not. 

3. Very pretty. I think the sleeve could look a little strange on, but I’m still all for the idea of this dress.

4. I wish I wore heels. I would snatch these up right away. I’m getting into quite a thing with ribbons lately. 

5. Have you seen Bride Wars? This totally reminds me of the shirt Kate Hudson buys for Anne Hathaway in the beginning. 

6. I don’t know how I feel about the collar area of this dress, but the sleeves rock my world. 

7. I’m pretty confident that I will always love this color pink. The pearls on the shoulders are a new feminine twist to that irritating stud type look that has run rampant. I dig.  

8. I have a short sleeve white button up similar to this that aims for brilliance, but it is no where near is cute as this. I wish I could trade. 

9. Love this coat! It seems more vintage looking than some of their others, and the plaid doesn’t look too tacky too me. I would definitely be interested, especially if I was in a sleuthing mood. 

That’s all I’ve got…ish. ModCloth is sprinting back out of its slump!

Had some major outfit trauma this morning. I was really going on a good streak there. For weeks I always had a good idea of what I wanted to wear! Until this morning. 

Here’s a taste:

Gray Sweater/MissMe’s—Sweater/Skinnies—Gray Sweater/Green Corduroy Skirt—White V-Neck/Green Corduroy Skirt—VNeck/Skirt w/Black Tights—VNeck/Skirt/Tights w/Brown Boots—w/Black Boots—w/Blue Flats—White V Neck/MissMe’s

Its ridiculous, but it ended up turning out mostly alright. Except that the white shirt was kinda see-through, which of course I didn’t notice in my rush to run out the house, but everybody has those days!

I wanted to justify this problem to myself, so I sought advice on google and found an article that said women spend up to a year of their lives deciding on what to wear. I’m pretty sure that I have already spent atleast that. Yikes! 

I think I’m going to have to get a head start on tomorrow’s outfit……..
