I don't have a Step-Mother!

So some of my favorite blogs are Garence Dore (it has an accent mark on the "e" but I have no idea how to put it in without copy and paste) and The Sartorialist. Lately the fashion blogs have photographed the same thing. Now I question whether or not they are the same person but almost identical. I love this Prada dress. Looks like style runs though the blog-o-sphere.

same person??? I can't tell but they both look like Charlotte Gainsbourg, werid.


Next is an update on my life. Update: nothing has changed.


OK well maybe a bit has changed like I am working so much more at IMAX in the coming weeks I will pick up 20-22 hours a week (this is just at IMAX). Also there is a new guy working there and guess what ..... he is a high school student. Although he looks like one of those guys into duck hunting (like my neighbor and half brother), at least I have someone that is more my age. I haven't worked with him yet but just met him for a few seconds.



Oh no!!! I my camera is starting to mess up again after I accidentally dropped when taking potential outfit picture. Arghh! D***, F***, Holy S***.



So today my parents were supposed to come back from spending a week away from my sister and I, but first you might want to know that they have been extending this trip back a day, everyday. They were actually supposed to come back late Tuesday/early Wednesday, that didn't happen. Anyways, so I had to work until 3:30 today and they would pick me up on their way back. They ended up staying a few more hours for the 4th of July parade in downtown Boone. So they got a lifetime friend to pick me up....he couldn't pick me up so he got his sister to pick me up..she eventually did pick me up, on time. So almost to my house I realize that I don't have a key to my house (thinking I wouldn't need it if my parents were eventually going to pick me up) so I asked (Laura) to go to my sister's work. My sister works for the pool club in my neighborhood. When we got there Laura left assuming she had to meet up with somebody then after waiting 10 minutes in jeans, converses, and carrying my laptop. My sister finally got up with me and just gave me the keys to everything. Now I am not a licenced driver, nor do I have a permit, nor have I ever taken driver's ed (I know pathetic), but it was just extremely hot so I decided to drive my sister's car the 1/2 mile to my house...unlocked the door...the drove back to the pool. Now by the time that I got there the place where my sister's car was parked was taken so I parked a few spots down. At that point I was terrified thankfully the car next to where my sister was parked was leaving the only thing is well....it is a very tiny parking lot and only one was direction (diagonal parking spots). Luckily those lessons with my dad in the empty parking lot of Triangle Town Center helped out. Unfortunately my sister noticed the car was moved, I confessed, then I was forced to tell my dad [thankfully I begged my dad not to tell my mom ("step mother" haha Karen) which he didn't so far]. Even though I did a very stupid thing that could of had some bad consequences (even though I was not drinking...yet?). So I finished my Independence Day trying to NOT listen to fireworks (I hate them), playing Scrabble and lossing, and playing Sorry and winning!!!



So I know that there are like a million fragments and run on sentence in that but do forgive me as I am writing this at 1:30 in the morning. I think this is it for now as I should go to bed seeing as though I have to work tomorrow.



Until you know that my "mom" is actually my mom (Karen),

Potential Outfits

Well I know it has been a long time as Karen keeps on informing me. So I finally took to it and made some potential outfits for New York. My inspiration comes from watching non stop movies this week. From Roman Holiday, Funny Face, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Sunset Boulevard, To catch a Thief, A Place in the Sun, Elephant Walk, Rear Window, and a little bit of Gidget. Mostly Edith Head was the costume designer on these movies. Her styling are perfect for the parts. I love her.

So back to the fact that I put together some outfits and photographed them, below.

First this is a jacket my mom just got me I just love it. It just sways out and if you can't tell it does have sleeves. NO IT IS NOT A PANCHO. I haven't decided what i would wear it with but it seems versatile.

This is a great walking outfit. It includes cut-off shorts with some scrapes, a very feminine blouse to contrast to the rough shorts, one of my favorite cardigans (I should have gotten many more in different colors), and the bag is a pastel clutch which has the strap to easily wear when walking.

So I put a few options up with the same blouse (seeing that I love it so much). This option consists of the floral blouse, jersey knit skirt, cardigan, and my favorite part THE BELT. It is my mothers vintage which I am pretty much leaving my soul at home to make sure I don't loose this belt. It is a woven material with light brown leather accents. It is very 70's which I love with the floral. Great spring/summer look. I question whether it is too spring looking???
Ignore my huge legs in this and my mess room. I think this option is a great look for a Sunday night, maybe dinner? It is basically the same outfit above but with the black vintage belt (again my moms) and the woven two-strap wedges. I was thinking I might pair this with the red jacket. I think it would make a great silhouette. This look is one that is not using that same blouse (thank god). No this outfit consists of some brown shorts with a bit of pleats on them, a guys blue and white strip dress shirt, an undershirt, and a great brown leather belt. It is a skinner belt which I love. Also, it has a gold pendent a the belt buckle. Now I don't intend on wearing these shoes with it but am questioning what shoes to wear with this. Maybe these knock off vans that are blue and yellow plaid or there is always some brown leather flip flops or I just thought my goldish t-strap sandals. Whatever the case I am not quite sure I absolutely LOVE this outfit. Hopefully it will grow on me. OK I absolutely love this outfit. Definitely a contender. This outfit would be great for sight seeing then maybe a quick lunch at a cafe. I like the simplicity of this outfit. It starts off with this off red color skirt I'm sure you can't tell but this skirt has some gold detailing at the bottom (also it hangs off the hips), this cardigan that I got a size too big but when you roll up the sleeves it looks really cool (Karen also has this cardigan), all of this is squeezed in by the same leather belt in the previous outfit.

So now it is your turn to comment on my potential outfits. Now I want you to keep in mind that this is just a few outfits with more to come. PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS!

Until whenever,

Carey
