see. through.

Oh you know, just bouncing around.

Lately I've realized having a fashion blog is more than a hobby. It oddly becomes it's a lifestyle. It becomes it's own thing. People do recognize me from this (which still catches me so off guard but I am very flattered) but having a fashion blog doesn't mean I know everything about fashion. No. I just know about my fashion.

What I like and what I don't like. It's about my personal style and how I do things. It's an interactive, live, public record of my fashion and style journey as a 20 something. A girl, a guttersnipe who loves wearable art and getting it for very cheap.

All honesty; I think everyone should have a style blog. If not a blog in general. Who cares if no one reads it or if it doesn't get big? It's something you do. It's something you like.

So; fuck it. Just do it for fun. Not fame.

feels like september, morning

I woke up early this morning to rain. So I made a cup of tea and smiled. To me, it felt like September which I love. I enjoy summer but love fall.

On Sunday I did a TEDx Talk which was amazing. It was myself and the rest of the 2012 Seattle Slam Team. It was life changing! After that day, I have so much more fate in the world. People are doing things, people are changing the world.

Yesterday I went with the boo and we watch World War Z. Crazy ass movie! It had all my fears; little dogs, needles, and a massive horrible airplane crash. All that was missing was a banana.

Yes. I have a fear of bananas.

Alright. Another one.

Since I have a day off I got to catch up a lot of things. Like this blog, tv, and of course my hidden love; sewing. I had a bunch of fabric laying around my room so I started making stuff.

I am actually very proud of what I was able to make.

Like this little summer top. I like working with jersey because its so easy to drape and great for summer. I kind of just sewed this in half and cut out arm holes. Just that simple.

Guttersnipe worthy.

brain cells

It's been a long week.

Couldn't you tell?

It's not raining, so I take that it's going to be a good day. It's also the weekend. But it's also St. Patrick's weekend, so that means I have to work.

I really liked this polka dot shirt I got at goodwill awhile back. It reminded me of Supreme's Polka Dot collection. I wanted the hoodie in white or navy but I don't have "that" kind of money. So I just found that would make me just as happy for waaaaaay less.

True guttersnipe.

it's better than that one thing.

There is a massive wave of nervous happening right now. It's because taking risks and going out a limb is scaring. But you have to do. So, I am doing just that. Trying new things. Seeing where it takes me.

Starting a fashion blog was a risk. You are literally putting your stuff out there for people to ~~judge~~ see. Bare witness to your personal fashion and lifestyle. So what would I have to fear?

A lot. Until I do it. Then it's no longer scary.
