I'm NOT a fashion blogger

I put tag "fashion" under my post and then removed it. I do not want to add label "fashion" or  "blogger" under my name. I even do not like fashion, and I hate blogging! I like to dress up, but I do not like fashion! I like to write, just because it's the only way I can get rid of thoughts in my head...

Following fashion for lots of people means to wear all the latest trends and throw away everything that was trendy last season. Well, I'm trying not to buy something that is super trendy, and looks ugly and uncomfortable, something that I will not be able to wear once the fashion season is over.

Did not you notice that some clothes or shoes have date of issue written all over them? Well, I'm not ideal and sometimes I buy such items, so people with good memory can say what year they were made... But most of my clothes, shoes and accessories lives more than one season. I love rounded toe, platform, classic shape heels and I do not care what is trendy now. I like certain size and shape purses, I'm not a big fan of jewelries but love scarves...

Color Inspiration 16

Last week we were lucky to have a bit of a summer weather back!!! I want to be bright again, I took out clothes I was going to hide till spring. So my colorful craziness was back last week!  
You may see this Chaps flannel shirt from Kohls in some spring pictures, but... remember: I never repeat exactly same look twice! Jeans from Ann Tayor are the same, but different Coach shoes, Christopher Kon purse and Chico's tank underneath. (As you see I have not added all these photos to my virtual wardrobe, just because I'm trying to shot as much as I can while it's warm and sunny and work on organizing everything during long dark winter night later. Promise-promise!)

Crochets Projects Part #1

Did not plan this story but bragged at the Group today that I have some old summer crochet projects to show. So here I am with a new unplanned post.

I used to do lots of crocheting, before I started working and  of course before I started my daily "Fashion Shows". So  now I think that I need to cut down time I spent on showing clothes made by somebody else to make my own stuff. And coming winter looks like a good time to do that.

I stocked up on yarn long ago, so I have enough thread for next 5 winters, I just need to kick myself and start crocheting again!

T4T #3

I just realized that it's true!
Now I probably spend much more than I actually make. It's just hard to change your spending habits when you got used to a different style and speed of life. I just hate wearing polyester and acrylic from local stores and flat shoes!!! I need heels, and expensive fabric to feel good!

Leaving in a small town does not give you many options to dress up. I already look ridiculously overdressed when all people around you wear super casual stuff until they drive to nearest city, so nobody just walk down the street in heels and business jackets! 

And of course working in a small town cuts your paycheck several times... So... You can consider my job as an entertainment, as a hobby (because I do like to work and I do not mean work around the house - this one I HATE), and going to work for me is a reason to dress up and do my morning FASHION SHOW!

Planet of Apes

Nice September weekend we decided to go to a local movie theater. They showed Planet of Apes, and I've heard a lot of this movie and how they generated all faces on computer without using masks. Emotions on monkeys' faces look incredible, so real! And even if we knew how it's gonna end, and knew the story, we really enjoyed it!

Color Inspiration 15

I'm wearing:
TopJacketTrousersShoesPurse

Should I even call it color inspiration? This week I tried to wear colors and styles I used to have in my "previous life".  

Conservative and reserved, above time and fashion, to fit any office dress-code. And since I had hardly any time outside of work, my most casual outfit was something I could wear on Friday or Saturday, which I usually spent in office also. 

Some of the items I wore last week I even brought to US in my suitcase!

Thought 4 Today T4T #2


One day Aleksandra - great fashion blogger and really pretty lady - posted a question on TagBrand: How many jeans a woman needs? I do not know answer to this question. Probably because such number simply does not exist!!! :)
