HAIR!

I think one is expected to play with hair color during teen years. In high school though, I kept my hair long and brown. Except one time when I put in that semi-permanent purple foam dye, which really made my hair red as I didn't bleach it first or anything.
Inspired by one to many editorial of pastel and/or rainbow hair, I had to try it for myself. My sisters helped me do this while I was in Detroit over the weekend, and I retouched the color a bit the other night. I have to say I am highly enjoying my color experimentation. Althogh, it is making dressing difficult as I feel that everything I put on has to play off my hair.
Also while back in Detroit I had a couple killer thrift trips. My sister and my mom are my favorite thrifting partners because they share my patience. I found these late 90's/early 2000's Silver bell bottoms that fit the exact criteria I have been searching for, for over a year. Meaning tight to the knee then big flare, and high waist. Woo!

losing my style

Every day I find it more and more a challenge to dress myself. One day last week I was in a panic scanning my closet for something to cover myself. I tried an outfit that consisted of a silky printed romper, tights, and some cardigan. The clash and combo of the colors and shapes was horrendous. I was in such a rush by this time that my new outfit, a default of a sequin slip with a sheer tank, and a cardi, was simply put on over my existing outfit. Cue awkward restroom maneuvers for the entire day.
I feel almost as if I am losing track of my personal style, like I can't even remember how I like to dress. I don't want to put the blame where my heart is, but I feel that my blog obsession has something to do with this. I am so constantly looking at how other stylish women are dressed that I just start to imitate without even realizing it. I'll look at what I have just put on and I can blatently see the inspiration. This look is so fashiontoast and that one is so Style Bubble (by the way I met Susie this evening which was quite nice besides my being exceedingly awkward.)
Today I really tried to get back to my roots with my ways of layering and such. The thing is, I have never had a single definable style. I bounce from one inspiration to another, while at least attempting to add my own thing. I don't know, my personal style managed to get me voted best style  in high school, but I think mostly people thought "who's that girl who likes weird clothes and always looks like a disheveled mess in heels? Minette? Oh, okay sure why not."
Anyway.... I guess my favorite part of this outfit was trying to figure out how to attach this vintage necklace to my show, because that is one kind of thing I used  to do a lot more of.

no photo state

since I have been in Jersey and New York I haven't been able to get one good outfit shot in. As hard as I try they just turn out all wrong. I guess I haven't been to inspired by anything else to post recently either. I can make excuses but really all it is, is that this blog is going down hill before it ever even went uphill.
Here is what I wore to my internship today. Laid out on the floor. I know, you are ecstatic.

oh hi

oh hi. I wore some clothes today. I went to class. I had a test in trends in contemporary art. Every once in a while there is a gem of a general education class at my school. Usually not so much, economics might mean "lets BS and talk about at what age we started drinking alcohol and what are religious beliefs are." and Chemistry and Society might mean "here's the answers for your test next week now lets play with some blocks and make atoms." But my contemporary art class is one of the gems, which I am really enjoying. I even had fun writing my essay yesterday. I was sitting in the library surrounded by books on existentialism and Francis Bacon. After my test I worked on my portfolio all day which is coming together alright. Back to the fact that I wore clothes today....

hiding in the ...tree?

I was being photographed for this blog and then I guess I got scared and hid behind this tree?

A day off outfit. No work or class today (it's fall break.) The future of my day incudes a bit of lone shopping, a haircut, and packing for New York. hmmmm.
