And some details:
Okay. That's it! That's all! Really! Truly! Farewell!Oh, I can't do it. I feel bad about not writing anything. Sometimes I think rambling on here is my favorite part. Okay, let's see, what do I got? Um, I am happy. I love clothes more than is appropriate. Most often I dress up the night before, after my son has gone to bed, trying on different outfits until I find something that "works". That's what I did with this outfit.
Usually I start with one article of clothing and then add and subtract until I find something I feel fantastic in. Often the initial item isn't even in the final outfit! (very very very often). This, of course, leads to clothes EVERYWHERE, which does not please my husband (nor am I much pleased to be perfectly honest). But I am trying to be better about it and rehang things when I am done.
So I am wondering, does anyone else do this? Try things on at night? Does anyone else say:
"Hey, pants, I want to wear you tomorrow."
And then in the end not wear those pants? I mean: pants + top - pants + skirt = no pants, yes skirt, yes top. Only it is usually much more convoluted than that. How about we call it the "evolution of the outfit"? Yes, I like that. I don't put outfits together; my outfits "evolve". I also think I may paint like this. It's messy. It's fun. And at times it can be very frustrating. Very rarely do I wear something I just "thought of". I hope I am getting better at this. Though I doubt it. ;-)
Okay, NOW I'm going to read Elle.

ReplyDeleteSadies is "Sadie Hawkins".
It's a High School dance cultural tradition.
Girls have to ask guys to be their date.
It's never usually a formal thing. Like, our theme was "Imagine Nation", so everyone dressed as characters from books and movies and tv and stuff.
We were Lucy and Ricky from I Love Lucy :)
So fun:)
Thanks for the commment!
Love always,
magggpie:)
i love that blazer! i used to have a velvet-esque blazer but lost it somewhere along the road of life. i think it was abandoned somewhere terribly unexciting like a bar, but you're making me miss it with that classy little number!!
ReplyDeleteI adore your lovely Blazer !
ReplyDeleteHaha,this is post was very real and funny.I do sometimes spend evenings choosing outfits,which instantly ruins my tidy room.Clothes end up everywhere! I love velvet,so this blazer is very up my street,and the shoes are cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks again for your kind words,plus dont worry about me being sad,it's not all bad....I just can get kind of emotional at times! ^^

I love how you mixed the sparkly pants and the velvet blazer--it gives your look such and interesting contrast of textures. And to answer your question, I do put outfits together the night before. That's mostly because I have to get up WAY too early in the morning, and I don't have the coordination to pick out a great look (I'm lucky I get my teeth brushed).
ReplyDeleteI love that shirt. It is so adorable! And those shoes. Sigh. Perfect outfit. :)
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit so much... not only because of the creative way you styled the skirt but because it has my favorite colors... black and white. :-)
