So Maybe

>> Tuesday, November 13, 2012 – outfits, Vintage

Maybe I've been watching too much Downton Abby. Maybe I just can't get enough of detailed white tops. So in love with both of these looks.

Been feeling a bit ill lately. Can barely get myself up for work and rehearsals let alone shoot new outfit posts. I took these shots at the end of my sisters visit and have been meaning to put them up. I realize now, I am not very good a shooing my shoes.

Got any suggestions???

Thrift is it!

>> Tuesday, May 1, 2012 – outfits

What are your thoughts on thrifting?

I read this article the other day about this girl who wanted to recreate a JCrew look for less. She mentioned that she found all the necessary pieces at a thrift store, but seemed embarrassed by it. And then she mentioned that it was OK since when you thrift you are really buying "vintage" pieces. While the words are interchangeable it seems that people embarrassed to wear previously worn clothes make it a point to call them vintage. Her tone changed at the end of the article when she mentioned she really only spent $12 to recreate a look in the $280 range.

Me? I love thrifting- the hunt for something that you may or may not find- and then when you do and pay a fraction of the cost...well nothing tastes sweeter. I also love the idea that the pieces have a previous history. It kind of reminds me of that movie the Red Violin.

So why be embarrassed that you went thrifting, that you spent a fraction of the cost on unique pieces? That you are "recycling" something that someone else no longer wanted. I don't see anything wrong with that. Do you?

Red-headed Braveheart

>> Monday, April 9, 2012 – outfits

I finally took the plunge last Saturday and dyed my hair red. The first thing I noticed- was the word RED. It has over a million interpretations/ variations. Apparently I got it wrong the first 2 times. I had my hair processed once, and then "brightened" and ended with this color. My hair is more "red" then these actual pictures lead on. I really want more of a blonder orange. I am hoping the red will fade a bit to a lighter orange, and if not, its back to the salon.

Regardless, the change was a bigger deal then I expected. It's such a bizarre thing to try and get dressed when your hair all of a sudden matches nothing you own. I am tempted to throw out everything and start over with a cream based pallet. After realizing that that was dumb I decided not to buy (or throw out/give away) anything until I get this color down. I'm just impatient, like a lot of other girls, because my hair is a security blanket. It's also really weird to look in the mirror and consistently do a double take. I woke up Sunday morning, completely forgetting what I'd done and literally gave myself a shock!

I also wanted to take a second to gush about this new Swedish photographer I found: Annette Pehrsson. Please, please, please check her out. I can't get enough! Her photos are so dreamy they make me want to take a permanent vacation there.

Perfect Spring

>> Wednesday, March 14, 2012 – outfits

Today was a little chilly when I got up for work, but by the time I got there the weather was amazing! Warm and breezy. Perfect for a picnic and napping in a park. I think this summer I am going to try to travel more. Little day trips on the weekend here and there. I really haven't had the chance to explore too much outside of town since I moved here and don't have a licence. I rode my bike to our pickup rehearsal tonight and it was wonderful. However, I forget how your butt hurts when you haven't ridden for a while. I'll get over that soon. Lots more riding to be done in the coming months!

What are your summer plans?

30/30: The End

>> Thursday, March 1, 2012 – 30/30, outfits

Woot, I did it!!! Today was the final day of my 30/30. I really can't believe I stuck with it. What started out as something simple, very quickly turned into something annoying, painful, silly, fun, progressive, and the best learning experience I've put myself through in a while. If you haven't felt challenged in a while, I definitely recommend it. Challenge yourself- with whatever you see fit and stick to it. No matter the outcome be persistant- it always pays off!

Jump for joy! It's a hump leap day! I went to a wonderful networking event hosted by I am Logan Square last night. They are a non-profit organization that promotes and increases awareness of the arts while enhancing cultural development in Chicago's vibrant Logan Square neighborhood.
