how i spent the weekend






i've only recently joined the iCult and i absolutely LOVE this phone! it geotags photos!!! and takes 3MP photos!!! still can't type on it, lol. used to the itap on the Verizon plan. AT&T gets a big thumbs up for this phone. hmm...wonder if i can unlock it and get one from Verizon... :-)

in other news, considering going back to school for the fall, working part time while i finish some pre reqs. scary...with the recession in full swing, it's a great time to go back to school, but i must admit, i'd feel rather...odd. but happy to be moving along with life, away from the dead end entry level work i'm doing now. i truly love non-profit, but healthcare is my passion and getting into a working world where i can make solid plans vs living paycheck to paycheck seems like such a big step forward. of course, the additional degrees (and zeros on each check) won't hurt either.

any thoughts? this adulthood thing is tough. and i'll buy some batteries, lol, so i can use the camera. i finally updated my wardrobe with cool stuff i LOVE to wear, and am now uncertain what to do with all these clothes. plan 2: ACTIVATE social life.

Playing

I get 'inspiration' sometimes. I'll be watching a movie and I'll see leather gloves, or a really nice silhouette and suddenly pop up and go to my closet and start dressing up. It's pretty strange, I know, but the Photographer's gotten used to it. This is a display of last night's (or rather, 1 am's) experiments. Not very daring, but I thought it was very wearable. I spend most of my time at work and/or in transit, so it's nice to be comfortable. Check out the socks...Gap's fake argyle. Yum. Yes, the shirt is scandalous. Will have to wear with tights to actually go outside.

History

Since I decided to start this little pet project of mine, (read: give myself shamelessly to my sartorial fascinations) these are some of the pictures I started out with, splashing them on Chictopia in hopes of getting a little guidance, lol. I'll continue to test them out here. Keep watching! Something fun might develop out of this little blogger yet.
