I think part of it is sheer laziness, but there is definitely something else going on too. I get frustrated sometimes reading other blogs because I don’t think mine is up to the standards of my peers, and then I get discouraged. I also start to think that I am not being creative enough in my outfits. Anyway, I guess basically my own neurosis is getting to me. I do want to try experiment more with texture and more complicated outfits though.

Also since we expanded the page, I’m playing with making my pictures wider! AND I found what is now my new favorite place to take pictures – the back door at the shop!

I finally put something together that my critical mind didn’t find overly simple. I had been looking for a suspender pencil skirt like this for years, so I basically lost my shit when I found this one! I just picked up this shirt at a half off sale and was really pleased with how well it went with the skirt. Add complimentary tights and presto!
