| I'm the typical girlie girl when it comes to fashion. I love pumps, i love pink and i love pretty. Recently though, the rocker trend has been creeping up in me. I finally submitted to skinny pants... i know i know about a season too late right? well i figured that the black skinnies would go well with my oversized sweaters and new/old boots. Today i battled with myself over whether or not i should bid on a biker jacket. Its not at all expensive (about $20 so far including shipping) but I cannot help but feel uncomfortable venturing into new fashion territory. I absolutely adore the new Rihanna look - rocker yet slightly girlie and definitely with a dash of attitude. But at the same time, I am still drawn to the classic pieces a la banana republic. I think at this stage in my fashion evolution, i have yet to find a clear view. I guess we shall see what happens in the coming years. | | |
| Fashion is scary. There are lots of dos and plenty more donts, which is probably the reason why i am so timid in trying new things. But this year, its different. I finally am able to expand my fashion repertoire and include more rock and roll grunge stuff. At least i think so... I am definitely more inclined to stray from form fitting designs now. I love loose knits. Though they were so in a couple years ago, i still love them.

| Outfit du jour
Trend: Thigh High Socks
Socks are now in for fall. I invested in some today at Nordstrom. The black knee highs turned out better than i thought. I absolutely love how they make a mini skirt appropriate with heels, and definitely keep you warm for fall. Whether or not they go with shorts, I haven't decided.
 Jacket (Forever 21) Skirt (Express bleus - hahha really old) Socks (Nordstrom) Mary Janes (Style&co @ Macy's) What do you think? :)

| According to my sign, according to my blood type characteristic profile, according to many of those ridiculous personality shits, i have a hard time completing tasks. Is it because I'm lazy? Is it because i lose focus? I honestly don't know.
Over many years, I have acquired many hobbies and interests (big DUH!) like fashion design, jewelry making, politics, learning to read/write Chinese etc. But many times, i remain inspired for mere nano-seconds before diving into another interest, whether it be from the old closet or a new find. Sometimes i go through many of these interests in a night. Recently, due to the heat of the upcoming election, I have become intensely inspired by politics and joining the bandwagon on defeating this Bush-clone. I am proud to say that every day i do look up political articles on Digg and the like with much conviction ( and i even read a few anti-obama to round out my views, though i dont like them).
Anywho, there i go again, almost diving into another topic.
I look at my last post, one i distinctly remember writing about while extremely inspired by all the craft DIY stuff i found online, and i think to myself, why havnt I begun on that project? Was that just wishful thinking? Well for starters i really did try to start that project, but fucking SB does not have a fabric store accessable to me and fucking michaels didnt sell ANY fabric (WTF?!?!), so i can safely say that i actually tried to get that started but couldn't. Or could I have? I say to myself that I DID ask my mom to bring my the sewing machine thats sitting in my SB apartment. And i DID look up new ways on creating a dress form from duct tape and a t-shirt, and goodness, I even looked up where to get dress patterns (i.e. ebay). But why then have i stopped?
Am I afraid to fail? I dont believe so, because i have definitely failed before. In clothing making i made shits i thought were going to be okay, until they came out as disasters. In jewelry making, hell yes has there been some ugly stuff.
Am i just lazy? Is that really the case? I know that if i just get inspired enough, responsible enough, motivated enough, I get things done and do them well. I make it my personal endeavor to finish certain projects, but mostly when others are depending on me. So maybe thats just it. That these things are for myself and my own benefit and it really doesn't matter if I do them or not since, well I am the only one to apparently "suffers" from these incompleted projects.
Or maybe its also the fact that i can just pick it up again when im ready... *shrugs*
Or maybe i just have a mild case of ADD.

| I think I need to restart my hobby.
Ideas:
But i want to turn it into a long sleeve shirt. With smaller ruffles maybe.
I want to make this one too.
This would be absolutely adorable for fall. Add a white shirt and tights with a close toe shoe.
