Remedial Blogging, May 2nd 2013

Well, I've been away, obviously. I was a little bored with the blog, had a lot of things on my mind, and my old tripod didn't fit my new phone. So.

I'll clearly be learning how to take pictures of myself all over again, and here is an outfit that points that out.

MOST of my head is in the frame.

But this is cute, no? Another thing I forgot how to do is take closeup shots of details. The jacket is an eBay find after typing in "polka dot jacket". The dots are actually little octagons woven into the fabric.

This is probably the last wearing of tights, unless the temps drop unexpectedly.

I can't remember how to write, either. New purse fancy.

Where Have You Gone, Joe DiMaggio?

It seems that the lack of a new tripod isn't the only thing standing in the way of my near-daily blogging. I've spent the past twelve months chronicling what I wear and why I wear it. Them. Seeing myself through the camera's eyes has given me a much more clear picture of what looks good on me, what I own, and what my style goals are. It is so much easier to get dressed these days, and it doesn't seem as necessary to process it all out loud, as it were.

So I think I'll extend my little break until the new year, and then only post occasionally thereafter.  The last outfit picture I posted was completely representational of my style, anyway, and I'm kind of digging it as an end point.

While wearing that outfit, I had a conversation with my boss about brown going with black (this was in the context of furniture, actually), and she said with a smile, "But you think red goes with purple!"

Yes, I do.
