figuring it out dress

the other day, i had a bad wardrobe day. when i got home, it took all the self-discipline that i have to not pitch all but a handful of my clothes in the charity pile. the result of that experience? i returned to wearing black clothes and outfits that are tried and true. now? i am trying to figure out where to go from where i am at.

i am wearing an old jacob top. my dress, skirt and vest are by kaliyana (lausanne a/w collection). i am wearing an old jacket by olio organics. my boots are by trippen.

dilemma jacket

all of the clothes that i have i like how they look from the front. some clothes that i have i like how they look from the back more. then again, with some clothes that i have i like how they look from the front and back equally.

i am wearing an old random label knit turtleneck and old leggings from american apparel. my jacket and skirt are melow by melissa bolduc (s/s 2012). i am wearing an old beret from american apparel. my boots are old by cydwoq.

new grey shirt

the greatest thing about being off the fashion treadmill? you can rewear outfits without feeling the teensiest bit guilty -- for not making an effort to be creative. the shirt is new. it is the perfect shade of grey.

it feels so good to get off the fashion treadmill, to wear what i want, to forget about what i am wearing the moment i get dressed and to not worry about what i look like.
