the clothes 2011

Some of my favorite bloggers seem to appreciate wide open spaces and the innate beauty in a field.

I readily admit that shorts and jeans are not my common choice, but when I recently wore my red jeans and several people stated that they could not recall seeing me in blue jeans, I felt it necessary to remind everyone that I do (on occasion) wear blue jeans. Sometimes I wear them when the wind is strong and I don't feel like exposing myself to the general public, and at other times I feel it necessary to don them so people don't think I have a religious conviction against women wearing pants...So, here's a little blue jean remix from the past year.
It was also laundry day recently and to save time and energy I snapped my pics there...but I didn't climb in this time!

The photographs of Erez Sabag are filling me with a warm, golden feeling.
The site for Orla Kiely has a similar feel in its photographs of this season's clothes. I would happily pass my days dressed thusly.

I made a visit to the Senior Art Exhibition on display this weekend. The art majors at my school all had final portfolios to produce and now their work is available for viewing for a short period of time. Some had created amazing pieces--like a girl who was inspired by Russian fairy tales or a boy who made an interactive project that was both thoughtful and amusing.

When not working I have been laying down by our creek on a blanket with a friend. It's rather amusing to note that she got quite burned from the sun and I walked away without any color...sometimes I feel as if my skin rejects sunlight...

My favorite pieces at Alexander McQueen Fall 2009 (once I was able to get past the garish make-up...) were the patterns that reminded me of artist M. C. Escher.

I have a friend visiting at the moment. This means late night dancing until 2:00 am, picnics by the creek, and general camaraderie.

I recently made a very impulsive purchase of a vintage dress from this seller on Etsy. The polka dots sucked me. However, despite the speed of my decision-making on this dress I do not regret the purchase at all.
