i. Almost all of my new clothes for spring and summer are black and I'm not even in grief. As always I spent the winter yearning for color and as always I'm back to black because it's black. It reduces the hassle. It's comfortable. It speaks volumes even when you don't intend to express anything in particular.
ii. I know I've put together a good outfit when it communicates the message that I'm not stuck-up. My shyness is often misinterpreted and I have yet to figure how to approach this problem. Until then, I'll let my clothes help me do the talking.
iii. Sometimes clothes don't talk about me but to me. I'll never forget the baroque/gothic red velvet dress I saw in Milan's Via Verri last October. I was so struck with it that I paused in the middle of the road, stopping the traffic. The dress was by Alexander McQueen.
iv. Beautiful fashion illusion. "You can have anything in life if you dress for it." Anemic faces incapable of supporting powerful stories. I prefer a Yamamoto summer dress made of white linen that clings to the body without straps or buckles like a Roman toga.

I agree...you have to be appropriately dressed to get what you want out of life. As Mark Twain said, “Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society."
love love love the top pic
Lovely post girl and thank you so much for your comment!
I need that hat in the first photo, its genius.
And although I can't see much of it, the sweater vest in the second photo also looks pretty rockin'.
I like your thoughts. Black is a safe color and it tends to work with everybody.Sometimes we have to leave this safe zone. ;)

wow prva fotka mi je skroz wow :)
znimljive su ove male crtice o tebi i skroz te razumijem, odjeća je nekad više od odjeće a moda skoro nikad nije samo - moda.
Najbitnije je da je tebi dobro.
p.s. ako može molba - na mom blogu je link za natječaj pa ako ti se svidi, glasaj za mene :)
hvala unaprijed i lijepi pozdrav :)
"My shyness is often misinterpreted"
This happens to me too!
I love your blog.
