clothes for nice people

Yesterday, in a moment of weakness, I stopped by Zara in search of a new pair of pants.  Turns out the search was successful (see below images as evidence), but that isn’t the point of this story.  The point is this: Whilst shopping I overheard a young lady describe a blouse as “something a nice person would wear.”  And, despite some speculation over twitter, I am pretty sure she meant it as a descriptor as well as a compliment. But here’s the thing:  I am confused.  I didn’t like the blouse, ergo am I a mean person?  Is “nice personality” a style?  You are nice therefore you must like lace?  I truthfully have never thought of personal style as a reflection of one’s personality in this way, although that is sort of the point…isn’t it? Hipster, yes.  Prep, yes.  But jerk, sweetheart or “nice”?  Never have I ever. So I went home and trolled through my closet looking for a descriptor about the personality that might somehow be reflected in my closet.  All I could come up with was schizophrenic.

white on white on blush on grey

This spring I have been fully embracing the layering of neutrals.  White on white on white with a hint of blush and gold is what chic spring dreams are made of, making this editorial from Elle Vietnam my spring work wardrobe dream come true.  Which is doubly the case due to the use of the YSL pilgrim pumps I so adore in the last image.  Yes, my friends think they are hideous.  But, in my world, others having a strong reaction to a shoe, albeit disgust, just means they are pure solid gold.

buzzing just like neon

Sorry for the radio silence.  I have been running around a little like a chicken with my head cut off, as the kids say.  Having returned from another two day trip to New York, we are back in action and back to faux walking along the pier.  This time said faux walking was done in attempts to re-create Abbey Road, only as a one woman show dressed in neon.  Casual Friday at its blinding best.  Updates on what has been going on coming soon.
