be stylish

I have enough clothing for the remainder of winter and spring at my job and school. I need to exercise the utmost restraint and only buy things that are absolutely crucial. I can work what I have beautifully if I try. I need to keep up my routine of my lookbook/internet fashion browsing and use my things creatively and stylishly. I want to save money and not buy cheap junk clothes in order to be able to shop in Korea this summer. 1 week ago

I am trying very hard these days to only buy things that are the best. I have trouble discriminating and commiting sometimes, which is why I buy any junk that is cheap. But I am trying to be more purposeful about how I show myself to the world. My lookbook and general fashion conciousness lately has been helping to guide my decisions in buying clothes and what I wear. 4 weeks ago

I have made it an internet habit of mine to check in and view fashion videos on youtube as often as possible. I created my own “look book” last week using magazine clippings. and speaking of lookbook….lookbook.nu is a site I visit regularly for some style inspiration. 3 months ago

I just ordered People Stlyewatch, my favorite fashion magazine. I really like it because it is so practical. I DO like high fashion magazines, don’t get me wrong, but this magazine shows real wearable looks that are current and not ahead of their time. Its so useful as far as shopping and putting together outfits!!! I’ve been meaning to subscribe forever. Glad I finally did it! 5 months ago

Stop wearing things that don’t make me feel good! I am at a weird place fashion-wise… Right now I am more concerned about looking professional and looking “like a teacher” than being “cute.” But I don’t have ANY cash to buy nice and stylish professional clothes that would allow me to do both. I am working with things that are already old and outdated, then making it even worse by pairing them with slacks. It makes me look older and frumpy. I have enough clothes, so, I want to make an effort from now until the end of the school year to wear the outfits that I own that are professional without being too school-marmy, while I continue to visualize a more affluent and stylish future :-) 9 months ago

I would like to surround myself with beauty. I really want my surroundings to resonate with my ideas about what is nice and beautiful in life. I think the first step to matching my ideals with my reality is making my thoughts beautiful. A beautiful mindstate will bring about increased attention to the beauty that exists in my day-to-day reality, as well as inspiring me to make beautiful choices. I feel this goal is more about my mindstate than controlling outside factors. A photographer takes a picture of what is, but the way they frame the shot is where the art happens. I want to frame my life in a beautiful and artistic manner. I was sort of musing about art today… I feel it is such a spiritual endevour. Creating art (mentally, physically, or meta-physically) is a way to notice and honor your individual experience in reality. Art is reverence. 9 months ago
