This week’s first world problem: a creative block about clothes. I’m pretty sure I’m going through a style change because 90% of what’s in my closet doesn’t feel “right” anymore–but I don’t know what would feel right, so that’s making it hard to plan any knitting or sewing projects or even shop for something ready-made*. And when I say “hard to plan,” I mean I’m drawing a total blank, which I don’t remember ever happening before. Not even shopping for fabric is doing it.
In other creative news, I colored a mandala. It didn’t help me figure out what to wear, though. Maybe I should color some Fashion Plates instead.
*J. Crew, which is usually good for an outfit idea or two, is in the middle of its worst season in recent memory, too. I don’t want to wear boxy mauve things, J. Crew.

P.S. Maybe you just need new accessories to play with?

I don’t know what I need. Other than all new pants, sweaters, and shoes. đŸ™‚ But maybe I’ll take your advice and not spend money on clothes this season.

I’m taking this as a sign from the Universe to not spend any money on clothes this year (2013 Chanel knock-offs excluded). It’s NOT 1983 for f*#%’s sake! This season is my opportunity for a re-styling challenge. I’ve been pushing the envelope a little and came up with a whole new outfit today from things I had, but never put together. But yeah… not much inspiration out there for me either. :-/ I have to say your fur and tribal skirt was *hawt* though, so part of me doesn’t believe you!
