Confused Speech

I took these pictures early this morning in front of my apartment. Even though I look a little dark (and I'm much too lazy to photoshop them) I really like the lighting in them. The dark contrasts with the light really well.

This was actually the first time I've taken pictures of myself in a public place and I felt a little silly doing it - and obviously my picture taking skills could use some improvement. I still don't know how to handle myself in front of a camera. I hope that that will improve with practice.

Since I'm just starting this blog I feel as if I have so much potential for it to truly become a reflection on who I am. That will require a lot of work. I have some ideas for some weekly posts and such. They might include food, stuff I'm sewing/designing, clothes, books, random inspirations, and stuff that I love. Hopefully I'll get myself more organized soon.

They Found Me Different

So for my first "official" fashion post I wanted to do something really cool that would be a promising start for the rest of blog. What happened was a different story. After walking to campus from my apartment and back again my feet were crying for relief. I snapped these pictures of my outfit for the day and then kicked those shoes off. Instead of going to several really cool places around here I just took them in front of my closet doors in my apartment!

Besides the fact that my feet were killing me the pile of homework that is awaiting my attention would be enough to stop any excursion to take pictures. Sigh. The curse of being a college student.

Demure Rebel

As I'm getting older I find myself breaking out of the social norms more than I used to. Trying new things. Being adventurous. Becoming a rebel.

My only problem is I'm too shy. I'm demure. Calm. Not comfortable in my own skin.

I hope that in turning over a new leaf by starting this blog I will be able to break out of my shell even more. I will take those big steps. Because I can do hard things. I can break free of my own constraints.
