i'm ready for a challenge.
an adventure.
presently, i want to throw every article of clothing i own out the window. i have nice clothes. most of them are timeless and in really good condition. i am simply tired of wearing them. i want something new to wear. since throwing my clothes out the window is not really a viable solution i must go to plan b.
plan b = reworking what i already own.
i'm not huge on following trends. there are trends happening right now that i can't stand. neon. i did the neon thing once when i was 10. unless it is halloween i have no plans, at 36, dressing like a hi-liter. for some reason neon seems like a juvenile trend to me. when i see adults sporting fluorescent pink shorts i think really? who are you trying to kid? personally i think my outgoing personality and stellar smile is loud enough.
the "high-low" skirt. although i think that garment can look really nice stylized by a professional for some off the wall photo shoot, i find the whole look indecisive. as if to say i want a short skirt, no i want a long skirt, hey i know i will wear a short and long skirt. it reminds me of split level homes. you know those houses that you enter and you have to make a choice go up or go down? can't stand.
anyway, i am not big on trends. in my experience there is a small percentage of humans that can actually wear the current trends. i take a different approach to fashion. i stick to what suits my shape. this approach can be rather mundane, but it works. i prefer to wear clean, simple lines with just a smidge of kooky thrown in. i'm not a pattern wearer, most of my clothes are solid colors and in the same color scheme.
i have several items of clothing that if i knew how to adjust them a little (shorten the hem, fix a ripped seam) i could actually wear them. this means i should take the sewing machine i have had for the past 10 years out of the box and learn how to use it. learning how to sew is on my bucket list, maybe this is the year i will find the time to do it?
i have spent the last several months pining over clothes on pinterest, reading blogs about regular people and how they put their clothes together in interesting ways, and people watching. there is so much inspiration to be had for anyone who pays attention. well i'm thinking it's my time to put some of these ideas in to practice. last year i did a clothing challenge, so we know that i am not lacking in the clothing department. i simply need to get creative.
