I'm not sure what the #$%& is wrong with my camera. It may just be the fact that I suck at photography.
Anyway, yesterday was a hot day with nothing really special going on. I did get my hair layered, that was cool- after these pictures where taken, though.
I decided on a thrifted skirt and thrifted JJill tank top. I started out with the belt, but got too hot eventually and took it off as well as my turquoise necklace. The necklace was one I made a few years ago with the intent to sell, but, could never go through with it. I love it too much.
Wore my Wal Mart shoes again. I should just lie and say they're from the mall or something, huh? I'm a terrible liar, though.
The shirt was probably a quarter, the skirt, fifty cents and the belt was about a quarter. One dollar fashion, folks.
Although I will say that this blurry thing my camera is doing hides my sort of horrible complexion. Maybe I should stick with a bit of blur.
ReplyDeletei am really enjoying your blogs. i think you are very witty and i always appreciate someone who can make fun of herself. i too struggle with the ideas of fashion and feminism. i am a young republican, feminist, fashionista. kind of hypocritical no? how can i work in the fashion industry when i firmly believe it objectifies women? but i do. and i love it. i love make up and bleaching my hair and handbags. but do high heels make us sexy or stupid? does actually being in love with a chloe handbag make me completely ridiculous?
ReplyDeleteGreat questions. I struggle with this also. I go back and forth between being an anti-materialist minimalist and being an all out mall whore. It's no picnic.
ReplyDeleteI tend to think of my love of fashion as an extension of my artistic nature. It seems most right-brained people have a sense of style that leads them to be a tad extravagant. I can't see getting dress as just putting protective fabric on. It has to be doing something- saying SOMETHING.
And I think sensible heels are extremely smart. I'm a bit old to pull off 6 inch platforms with spike heels, but, for someone who doens't have to chase down 3 kids, I think they're wonderful.
well said! plus since i cant draw, paint, dance, or sing to save my life, i will have to resort to expressing myself through my clothes!
