oneSiDED...

Sometimes, life can come across to be a little lopsided, unbalanced, asymmetrical, one-sided... but in the end things turn out how they are supposed to be (at least that's what we hope for). Yesterday, I started out my day one-sided on purpose. The night before I decided to get creative, so I started a project too late after a great evening. It was deffo an aesthetic adventure inspired by trying on a variety of different hairstyles at work during a slow morning. It was fun, but led to an urgent desire for change. So, of course, near midnight, I indulged in this longing... and cut some hair.
so doofy-- my photographer makes me smile :)

Even though I occasionally (or maybe more than occasionally evidenced in my frequent hair style and color changes and even more frequent shopping trips) need change (by need I really mean dream of, and by change I mean more practically, impulse decisions). I get really anxious about showcasing these new things. Whenever I wear new clothes or a new hairdo a flurry of nerves hit, until confirmation is received (usually from myself).
not sure what is going on here
Yesterday though, I went all out. I put on some earrings I never wore before as they are more dangley than I am used too. New lip liner, purchased that day at work (ricky'snyc= danger). I wore a new shirt (well new as in unworn since it was purchased a few months ago). I love the top from Forever21 but could not figure out for the life of me how to wear it anywhere except the club. I ended up wearing it to work, pairing the asymmetrical blouse with my diy asymmetrical blonde hair.
It was a day full of changes and lopsidedness, but it ended up being super great!!

tribal...

For some reason I am extremely attracted to this print, and this shirt. It really gets me going, and it has become my go-to top of choice. It's light, easy, and neutral in color, but dramatic in pattern. Like, honestly, I want to wear it all the time. I have already paired it with skirts and jeans, and am slightly excited for the fall and winter weather to put it with opaque tights and heels. With the heat and the humidity, the large armholes and the kind of fabric, keep me easy and breezy.

Don't be surprised if this shirt comes up again soon... I can't stop putting it together with other pieces. What a versatile goody!
