RIP tank top

It's not everyday a girl can celebrate not being able to fit into a shirt. This particular shirt was the first memory of an old boy friend. The night we had first met, at an outdoor Earthday concert. I was a freshmen and didn't know anyone, so I picked out a nice looking group of people to sit down with. There he was, complementing that brown tank top with owls on it that I never wore. It took me by surprise, this long haired hippie boy noticing my shirt.  The concert was great and we danced in the fountain on campus. 

 I will probably never forget the night we met, but knowing that I have grown out of that shirt and moved on is a great comfort to my psyche. The shirt is now resting in a thrift store somewhere waiting for another girl to buy it and meet another boy.  

more red

It has been quite sometime since I last posted. I will do more this year I promise.

My fashion career has a few more notches in it since last year. A friend of mine, an AMAZING designer by the name of Jara Swong, gave me the opportunity to be in three fashion shows this past year! It was great experience if not a great experience. Here are a few pictures of her work with me in it.

Case of the mean reds

Since Audrey and her lips came into my mind catalog of fashion and all things glamorous I have realized that red is the perfect accent color. As an obsessive colorist I know that the human eye is drawn to red making for a great distraction or highlight. Louboutin and Doir know exactly what I mean.

 The outfit above is when I was on vacation after Christmas with the family.
                       skinny red pants- Macys (christmas gift)
                        Fox on Bicycle shirt- District (local shop)
                        Black wool Cardigan-hand me down   

Yes it's that belt. love it.

 

 Red is what I go to when I don't feel firey and need the extra push. It always makes me feel better.

Hello all. So sorry about the absence of, well me lately. Darn school getting in the way of the fun things I should be taking in.

Today was prefect rainy and gray. So I brightened it up with a romantic outfit.

Yes that is  my orange sweater that has taken up much of the spotlight lately.

I am working on a color of my closet in which I will take you on a tour of my closet by color. I am super pumped about it.

that sweater. That Sweater

Recently I have procured a burnt orange striped sweater.

           It's slouchy and hangs off my 120lb frame. The colors are taken straight from a 70s couch or the underside of Autumn  leaves that have been long since fallen. 

But i love it. It's slouchy and hangs off my frame making sexy moves all on its own. Wabi Sabi says I to the colors of slowing down and cozy up.
