I'm gonna keep on hopin'

What I wish I was doing last night:



(this was taken on a Sunday afternoon to record my favorite way to spend a Sunday. You can't see the coffee, but it is there!)

How I actually spent last night:
packing up 2 boxes. How on earth do I have this much stuff? I alternate between wanting to throw everything away and the feeling that maybe, maybe someday I will have a daughter and she will want to look through my old high school photos and concert tickets. I am still too hopeful to throw it away. Even if it stays in boxes in garages, those boxes are a tiny reprensentation of the hope that I retain, even when statistics and culture are telling me that I have no reason to keep them.

call me naive.

(for those of you who read the post I posted last night, sorry! I posted that before sleep but after I had taken my sleep aid. Lesson learned: do not operate macbook under the influence...).

Fashionable Renaissance

I have taken an interest in Fashion again, which is nice. I am enjoying Vogue and The Sartorialist. For someone who left Fashion because of what it was doing to her (making fashion no longer fun and getting dressed a pressure induced panic attack), this is growth. Interestingly (or maybe not actually), it is the more classic looks that I love. I have always loved classic looks and have always dressed myself in that way. Occasionally I will stray, whether to rebel or follow some shitty trend), but always come back to simple t's and clean silhouettes. Is it a wonder my wedding dress was a classic Tea length gown? Or that my wardrobe is chock full of unadorned colored T's and pencil skirts? Dresses that have little or no pattern? Shoes that are pretty unadorned (not counting checkered Vans, but they are classics, Man!).

Menswear has also recently been of interest to me. I used to concentrate wholly on women's because of my job, but now i find myself scrutinizing the menswear (and discussing it with Trip!). Don't get me wrong, I still love a man who looks almost homeless...but homeless with style, Baby.

below are just a few of the images that have caught my eye lately.
