Back to blogging

Summer, work, lack of time, lack of a decent camera, lack of patience... I don't know what that was. But here I am, looking for some social contact and inspiration. Once a blogger, always a blogger.

Hat and comfy shoes

A sunny day

Joie de vivre

Dress and lace-up boots

Lace

Her body is not so white as
anemony petals nor so smooth—nor
so remote a thing. It is a field
of the wild carrot taking
the field by force; the grass
does not raise above it.
Here is no question of whiteness,
white as can be, with a purple mole
at the center of each flower.
Each flower is a hand’s span
of her whiteness. Wherever
his hand has lain there is
a tiny purple blemish. Each part
is a blossom under his touch
to which the fibres of her being
stem one by one, each to its end,
until the whole field is a
white desire, empty, a single stem,
a cluster, flower by flower,
a pious wish to whiteness gone over—
or nothing.
(Queen-Anne’s Lace, William Carlos Williams)

I often repeat repeat myself

I often repeat repeat myself,
I often repeat repeat.
I don't don't know why know why,
I simply know that I I I
am am inclined to say to say
a lot a lot this way this way-
I often repeat repeat myself,
I often repeat repeat.

(Jack Prelutsky, A Pizza the Size of the Sun)

Pastel tones

The sun is down, the air is blue,
And soon the fingers will be, too,
But there are children to appease
With ducking in those leafy seas.

(Robert Fitzgerald, Lightness in Autumn)

How to wear red jeans

Complementary colours are opposite to each other on the color wheel.

When placed next to each other they appear to become brighter. The high contrast of complementary colors creates a vibrant look especially when used at full saturation. Therefore, they work well when you want something to stand out.

Complementary colours are also used together in colour therapy to give balance.

Red and green are complementary colours.

Think about complementary colours when wearing your coloured jeans.

Sweet T.O.

Happy Valentine's Day

It may take a while, but it comes.

For a pair of shoes

Go on green

I was angry with my friend:

I told my wrath, my wrath did end.

I was angry with my foe;

I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I water'd it in fears,

Night & morning with my tears;

And I sunned it with my smiles

And with soft deceitful wiles.

(William Blake, A Poison Tree)

Mixed patterns, one more chapter

I never thought this one would work, but... loved it <3>

Stripes

I really like stripes, and I've been enjoying to mix them with polkadots. As you can see now, the top I wore here is more of a tunic dress. I got it at Fairweather. They have great deals - you just have to know what to buy.

Bag is from Lug (this one). 

More plaid

Mixed patterns, here we go! I love playing with this <3 br="br">

Round collar

Here's another look, now that I'm trying to take my blog more seriously:

Bag: Abercrombie&Fitch
Sweater: Forever 21
Boots: Urban Outfitters
Jeans: somewhere in Uruguay

I really don't think you have to have tons of clothes... you just have to match them differently. And if there's something you really like, you need time to wear it over and over. Right now, as you can see, I've been wearing these boots a lot, even if I have other boots in my closet!

An early Spring?

Groundhog Day is a holiday celebrated on February 2 in the United States and Canada. According to folklore, if it is cloudy when a groundhog emerges from its burrow on this day, then spring will come early. If it is sunny, the groundhog will supposedly see its shadow and retreat back into its burrow, and the winter weather will continue for six more weeks.
(From Wikipedia)

Ontario’s Wiarton Willie and Nova Scotia’s prognosticating rodent Shubenacadie Sam failed to see their shadows on Thursday morning. (...) However, the predictions by the Canadian groundhogs are at odds with Pennsylvania’s Punxsutawney Phil, who is calling for six more weeks of winter.

Plaid shirt

We haven't had many cold days this Winter. I can't say that I miss them, but if it continues like this we'll get to March, Spring, and it'll almost feel as if we didn't have any Winter at all. Yesterday it was 10 degrees, but fortunately we had some snow two days ago. It accumulated but now it has completely melted away. What I really don't like is the amount of rain and mixed precipitation that may come in the next few days.

The vest I'm wearing belonged to my mom. Obviously, the jeans and the bag are the same you saw in the last post, and the shirt is from Abercrombie & Fitch.
