One of my favorite things about putting an outfit together is creating something that is uniquely mine. I love to have fun with clothes. That’s the point of us not all walking around in uniforms, right?
So, if we’ve decided as a society that clothes should be a reflection, then I plan on running with it. If you ask anyone who knows me, they’ll tell you that my style of clothes changes like the sand dunes of the Sahara, daily. No two days are alike. Sometimes I like to channel a mood, or an era, or a particular culture. Sometimes, I just like to throw things into the air and see what lands together. I’m speaking figuratively; I only wish I was that wild. Maybe some day.
Some days, my outfits don’t seem to have a rhyme or reason, but something about it just works for me. And that’s really what counts. Of the fun I have with clothes, unexpected combinations is at the top of the short list.
Here I’ve combined a soft pink ballerina tutu skirt with a black crop top, black leather boots and a snapback. What would I call this look? Hodgepodge. I’ve been known to pair these boots with just about everything that I own. They are a stable in my wardrobe.
I’m a very squirmy sort. I probably switch positions a dozen times when engaged in an activity. Except for writing. I usually stay hunched over my journal or the computer until I’m quite sore and then I lean back into my perfect chair that you’ll all remember.
It’s great to be a lady, but it’s even better to be ready for whatever adventure might come my way.
I love this look! Super cute!

What a lovely look and somehow the boots toughen up the entire look in a jiffy. Beautiful photos. That second one of you is a winner. You should frame it and hang it on the wall above your bed.

Mmmm, these illicit images and styles in MY head of a softer Tank-girl. Are you familiar with her?Does that make sense? Also, I think you’d make an exquisite Steampunk Lady, ala Kato (the blonde), with a spunkier Tank-girl flare…

Oh believe me, I’ve got tons of open toed shoes as well, especially in Florida. But I do like to toughen things up as well. If you ever get boots, make sure they are soft, flexible.
