Wear more outfits, instead of just clothes

I’m broke and feeling frumpy. So forget it for now. And with the season changing I am perpetually cold.

i just did my laundry, i just did my laundry yayy! i probably shouldn’t wait a whole month this next time around. i was down to some raggedy pairs of underwear and sweatpants. sort of.

Today I wore black tights with a knee-length blue skirt from Gap and my black star shirt with a black sweater. The sweater was a good and bad idea- good because it was something to cover my shoulders and bad because it was too light and barely kept me warm. Thanks to the rain, I broke out my rain boots. But, thankfully, this has been the first time since moving to CP that I have walked to school in the rain.

I’m feeling snuggly.

Big pink sweater, maybe? I wish my corduroys were fixed. Note to self: take corduroys to seamstress when I go home Friday. They just need a new zipper and they’ll be right as rain. If I even still fit in to them.

I wore grey skinny-leg jeans, a green spaghetti-strap tank top from Gap, and the black Dolce Gabbana sweater that Ross gave me. I was glad for the sweater because it turned out to be hella cold, and rainy too. I also wore a pair of small silver earrings with mother-of-pearl AND green eye shadow in addition to the increasingly standard brown eyeliner. I’m getting better with the makeup. I felt really pretty and, as I’ve said over and over, it made the whole thing feel finished.

Go me! If that’s not an outfit I don’t know WHAT is.

I put on some eyeliner today and felt a little more put together. Extra touches are a big part of looking finished and “perfect”.

There is a group on flickr that I love called “What I Wore Today.” It is [supposed to be] only drawings. Check it out at: http://www.flickr.com/groups/whatiworetodaydrawings/pool/

I want to go through my wardrobe one of these days and make outfits. I definitely want to feel more in control by the time I move to New York City so that I don’t feel down on myself all the time for looking bad. I just want the confidence that comes with looking good in what you’re wearing. I’m still the same person, even if you stripped me naked, but I don’t know there is just something more that I want for myself.

Just wore clothes today. And tennis shoes. Gross. I felt “stocky” all day.

But. To look on the bright side. Monday was a very good fashion day. I wore one of the new skirts (the grey one pictured) and the “save the whales” shirt Ty brought me back from Australia. I wore my sporty red flats, which were not a problem this time because I remembered extra band aids and I rode my bicycle.

Today I picked up two new skirts. The bright blue high-waisted one goes perfectly with the shirt I am currently wearing and makes a perfect outfit with sooo little effort. And the grey one is just sweet as can be.

I’m doing really well…!

Is full of outfit-wearers. I just love looking at them all.
