A NEW YEAR!

Ugh. I am utterly sorry for the lack of posting.


In better happier news, a new year has come! I of course welcomed the year 2008 in with a bang avec friends. Perhaps I was a tad over dressed, but sometimes, that can be a good thing.


I do admit that a good 75% of the reason for my lack of posting is due to the fact that I have been in posting deadland. So, I bring you a what to wear for a winter return for school. Simply because any fashionista knows that one cannot wear the same attire that they wore in December (uh, unless that is just me). With a new year, means a brand new style change. From September to December, I was dressing with French influences, with lots of stripes, light layers, skinny legged pants (you know I prefer the title cigarette legged), and colourful flats. This season however, for the few days into January that we are, I'm seeming to be drawn to a more heavier style. When I mean heavier, of course I mean darker colours, longer sweaters, thicker layers, and boots. Brown and dark green have entranced me this January (along with my current obsession, motorcycle boots, which now have a higher leg rise), and I have ditched the navy blue and purple hues. Now that you are fully aware of my style change from last year to this year, I bring you the style guide for January back to school.

like the long grandpa cardigan, looks comfy

interesting idea to switch styles, i don't think i ever fully fit into one dress category of inspiration actually, yesterday i was in a class j. crew gray blouse with funky accessories and today i'm kinda punk london with black skinnies and grunge cardigan (by this i mean black and green wide striped) and london t-shirt, who knows, i go by whims haha
