style diary: week 2

In week two of my Style Diary I had to challenge myself to not go against my initial idea, which I always have a habit of doing. Most times I usually should follow my gut, and there are other times, like I think now, that I should have listened to the other voice in my head.

I had this idea of playing with seated positions for this week. I wanted to change up the scenery, but I quickly learned that I prefer consistency in my backgrounds, it looks cleaner, and from a photographic standpoint, by the end of the week handling the lighting becomes really easy because you become familiar with the setting. Regardless, I’m suppose to document what I’m wearing, and not how or where I took the picture.

This week I went back home to my small hometown in Florida to visit my family. There is not too much to do when I’m home, and even less when its 30 degrees in the Sunshine state (it was too cold to leave the house Saturday & Sunday). When I’m home it’s a great time to relax with family & friends, listen to the singing of cicadas, eat good food, and not fuss about clothing.

I have another week here, and I’m pretty sure by the end of it I’ll be screaming for the streets of NYC. But for now I’m just going to chill, it makes no sense to get all decked out to walk up and down the mall or Wal-Mart.

This week, it was a toss-up between Monday and Friday, but my favorite outfit was Friday. The colors made me feel happy and vibrant, plus it was a great day of seeing old friends…just one of those days when you feel great about yourself. Hope you have one of those days; enjoy the week!

style diary: week 1

4 Jan

For the last couple of weeks I’ve been toying with this idea of documenting everything i wear for a year, an experiment of sorts, better yet, a styling diary. I’m not some self-professed fashionista, nor do I have an exuberant amount of clothing; I actually don’t even like shopping. What I do like, are to wear clothes and mix and match outfits, as a now extremely budget conscious freelancer hit by the recession, I find doing this very challenging, but fun. More than anything, I love how clothes can just describe your mood, or say something about you as a person. I can’t fully describe why I’m doing this Style Diary, because I don’t fully know why, but you can join me along the ride as I figure it out in my head.

My Style Diary won’t be like flipping through Elle magazine, wishing you could somehow save up for the new Balenciaga ballerina flats. It also won’t be like looking at the red carpet style pages of your weekly smut mag, sorry my life isn’t that exciting. Although i have my dealings with the ‘industry,’ I’m a pretty regular, but dress conscious kind of girl. I do have the luxury of doing things in spurts, so there will be times I don’t leave the house for days or don’t change my clothes, because I’m curled up with a good book or I’m working on a project, and my clothes will surely reflect that. I’m mostly running errands, and now I’ve added classes to my schedule, but there are other times when I need to get creative with my limited wardrobe, because I’m always on the go, and I have events to continually get dressed for. Regardless, over the years, I never thought that comfort would overshadow glamor, but it has begun to, so you’ll notice that most things are quite comfy.

I’m excited to get this idea started, the only part that sucks is now I can’t double up on an outfit in a week, thinking no one really saw it (yes, I’ve done that =) ), because now everyone will really see it!

This week my favorite outfit was Wednesday when I went to Greenhouse and Negril Village. The skirt was new, i got a great deal on it; I love thrift shops!
