I will probably feel happier about myself if I wear those things, so maybe you're onto something.

if that's the case i have a personal prescription for youdrive to the nature area and walk far into the woods 1x weekly in order to (1) be around nature (2) get some exercise and (3) record things. field recordings and clothes that fit you again can happen at the same time. bring a picnic and a friend and you have a social outing. you can also try out new fashions on these outings to see if you like them. if you don't have field recording equipment yet, you can scout out places so you know where you want to go once the tape starts rolling/digital recorder starts doing whatever it does.
worst possible scenario: you spend time in nature and nothing else happensthat is a winning scenario unless you are attacked by wildlife

I like that advice! I totally did get a Zoom H4n and it is the greatest thing I own.
aw, thanks! possibly it just appears this way because I only take myspace photos of myself.

i feel like i've only worn black, grey and dark blue for the past week+which is a change in my style but not necessarily a conscious or desired one

I like LL's suggestion
and I hope that it results in your personal style being John Muir knee breeches at the very least. And a walking stick!
srsly, it's a cool idea

question: when did dressing become "styling"?
― these albatrosses have no fear of man (La Lechera), Tuesday, 9 October 2012 19:08 (eleven years ago) link
(i just got a stupid email from an internet store saying "Styling for Fall doesn't have to be costly..." but i've seen it all over. creating an outfit = styling, wearing = styling, wtf is styling?!)
― these albatrosses have no fear of man (La Lechera), Tuesday, 9 October 2012 19:10 (eleven years ago) link
Oh, I know. A girl I know has a blog and all the captions are "styled by me!" when the picture in question is of, eg, a girl in a tshirt with a watch on.
Teach me your powers, super stylist!!

styling is kind of a gestalt, isn't it? it's not just individual pieces & accessories & grooming, it's how they all work together as a whole.

Really need a new jacket more than anything else though. Maybe something like this?

Still not 100% sure I'm feeling it and I'll have to wait for the sales anyway.

Goals for 2012~!!
^ Keep the short hair.^ Maybe have shorter hair!^ Sew!!!! In spring, probably, because spring clothes are easier.^ Collect shorter straight skirts instead of below-the-knee pencil ones, because squared-off look is more in keeping w the rest of my look than the whole '50s bombshell shape.^ Wear shoes that I don't have to fight to keep on my feet: things that lace up or have straps. This is a tragedy because I ADORE tiny little skimmers/flats that are mostly open, but they pop off when I walk and my feet can't handle the extra strain.^ Buy at least a few expensive bras

Shorter hair accomplished! Straight skirts in progress! Oxford shoes, 1 pr acquired (more still TK).Bras...2 new purchased, neither especially fancy but serviceable. This goal half met, let's say.
Not bad for early October?

I find kiddy-style ear muffs more entertaining than those headband things, if ears need to be warmed. But if anyone can make that thing fabulous, Lechera, it's you.

Also I wore those headbands made out of fleece to downhill ski in the '90s and just personally I cannot go back there style-wise.

I never really could have predicted that in July of 2013 I would purchase a pair of high waisted turquoise leopard print dress pants at Target, but there they are hanging in my closet. I bought em. I haven't felt this flummoxed by a garment I brought home with me in a long time. I think they might look ok with heels, but under what circumstances would I wear them? Are they ok for work? Going out? Any old time? No clue when I will wear these bizarre dress pants.
Also I now have kitchen curtains that enjoyed a previous life as a caftan.

Wd wear w heels, with little flat skimmers, or with ankle boots, based on just that description. It is possible that you'll have to schedule more rock'n'roll calendar events to wear them to tho?
