Fashion Pick-Me-Up

I live in a place I hate; I don't really have any friends here, and the one person I talk to most (who is actually like 14 hours away) is clearly changing into someone I don't really know. Yay transition phases in life?

This is not a poor me rant though. I'm just going through the standard desire for shopping and a change in hair that often comes with moving on and letting go.

I dunno what I want to do with my hair. I'd like it to be edgier, but I'd also like it to be longer. Edge is easier with short, and I have a long ways to go before it's long. I also don't know if I want to let it go natural color again or do something weird. I've been thinking a dark chocolate brown with a streak of a crazy color. Either or blue or orange. I wonder if Molly would give me permission to do so for her wedding. Mom would freak.

I've also been doing some window shopping online. I've been taking more and more to bohemian fashion, but it's hard because a lot of options in that range work best on skinny legged girls, and I have thick legs and a skinny top. Complicates the wardrobe options.

I can't buy anything, but I am window shopping. Here are some things I like (or hate):
I should stop giving free advertising to modcloth.com, but I love their stuff. I also hate some of their stuff, but usually enough of the hated clothes are funny enough to get a good laugh. It's a fun site to browse. They have shoes and neat home decor stuff too. Lots of kitschy knick-knacks--best salt and pepper shakers ever.

Getting Girly...Bridesmaid Season

So I'm in two weddings this September. Two weekends in a row. Blergh. And of course I am in weddings for people with no particular wardrobe. My sister at least gave some direction. She said a black cocktail dress. I'm borrowing one from my mom. I still need to figure out shoes.

The other wedding though, blergh. I got a random range of "fall colors" that didn't fit into my definition of fall colors, so I got online and searched for a dress I might like.

I'm always falling in love with dresses on ModCloth.com, but I can rarely afford the ones I like. This time I got lucky. I found one I loved, and it was in my price range. It was however, a bit bright, so I was worried the bride would not be okay with it. She said she didn't care, but I sent her a link anyway, and she loved it and said I had to wear it. Woohoo for awesom bride friends.

So here is the dress I ordered to wear for my friend's wedding...in an approved wedding color.



Also...I hope they bring these shoes back. I have a blue dress with which they would be perfect, and I have been looking for the perfect yellow shoes for a long time.

I do love yellow!

I need to stop perusing ModCloth though. I have no money. Someday though, I'm going to actually give my wardrobe some retro edge. Soon, I hope.
