Hello World!

Hi! Welcome to my brand new style blog. I will soon be trolling the streets of Chicago, hunting for styles that pique my interest. For now, let me introduce myself...

This is me:

Admittedly not the most flattering picture. Anyways...

I am a student in Appleton, WI, but my home and my inspiration is in Chicago. I get most of my clothes for free or from thrift stores, and my two favorite places to be are Argo Tea and Vogue Fabrics. Here are some styles I have been liking lately:

bright solids
too much lace
'90s garden party dresses
lingerie as clothing
cultural melange
menswear on women
neo-hippie
loose tops, tight bottoms
tight tops, loose bottoms
deconstruction
tights (INTERESTING ones)
skirts as dresses
short hair on girls
totally insane thrift store shoes
super short everything


And here are some styles that have lived way past their prime:

leggings as pants (except in very special circumstances)
bootcut and flare jeans
wedge espadrilles
short jean skirts paired with Uggs (this was never ok, and has gone on far too long)
gym shoes (THESE ARE NOT AND NEVER WERE FASHION!)
huge sweatpants and tiny t-shirts
any shoe with pointy toes
drop crotch pants


Here are some of my current style inspirations:

Cassie from Skins (totally addicting British TV series) ...

... 1920s lingerie ...

... and European Folkwear

I think that's enough for now. Expect an introductory post by my guest blogger, Rebecca, within the week, and some real posts from me next week!
