Said That You're Unstable

A friend of mine is looking for a place to live in Bumpass. I'm sorry, but what? I could never live in a place with a name I couldn't say with a straight face. It's so bizarre.

I love the show Castle. In the most recent episode that I watched, his daughter, Alexis, met one of her elementary school friends after years of not speaking. Alexis is smart, well-behaved, beautiful, responsible.. you get the picture, and her friend shows up at the door in full goth gear. It was interesting, because the side story about the girls related to them being different than they had been as children, it was about growing up and changing, as exemplified by dress. By the end, the girls have reconnected as the people they are now rather than as the people they were way back when, and again, the change is exemplified by their dress, specifically by Alexis wearing something that her friend has found for her.

I wonder what my outfits would say about me.

When I was a baby, it was all dresses, all the time and ribbons around my little bald head because my mom was scared I'd be mistaken for a boy.

When I was little, I had a blunt, pageboy haircut (so that when I rebelled, it was by growing my hair long... ooohhhh, how avant-garde), and ran around in a lot of leggings and coke-bottle glasses.

When I got older, I grew into a pair of heels and I've basically remained in them (not the same pair, but you get the idea).

I've gone through many phases, but certain bits and pieces stick out in my mind and now I'm here, very comfortable with the way I dress. I love short shorts, long-sleeved blouses, gravity-defying shoes, enormous jewelry, and cashmere. I wonder what that says about me.

Adolfo White Silky Shirt (Goodwill)

Funny thing about this shirt. I read a post on Sea Of Shoes (and PS- I want her hair color) where Jane referenced Adolfo as being this incredible sleeper label that people don't really know anymore but with the most fantastic clothes. Well, wouldn't you know, a couple of days later, I was at Goodwill just flipping through the racks, and came across this shirt. I might not have tried it on if I hadn't taken a look at the label and remembered her endorsement, but having tried it on, I can safely say it's an incredible piece. It manages to be just sheer enough without exposing the important bits, and I think the drape is pretty freaking flattering. It always makes me feel sexy and pretty at the same time without being trashy.
