Polyvore

Fashion should be fun!  And Polyvore is one place that is for sure injecting a whole heap of fun back into fashion.  I read about this on one of my favourite blogs, Ann.  So I sashayed over (in an internet sense) to check it out.  Wooee!  And Ann did warn us in all fairness; this is a seriously addictive site!  I’m going to have to set a limit on myself here…

I made up an outfit that in a dream world I would wear out to a casual lunch with my gal pals.  In reality I own no clothes that look anything like these items.  Apart from maybe the grey marle camisole, the most boring and basic item.  But a girl can still dream!  Also … in reality, I like to make my own clothes and have no intention of buying any of these garments.  I only buy ready-made once in a blue moon, usually from the same few local shops or as souvenirs from a holiday.  And I find my inspiration from high end fashion shoots mostly, or stylish people I see on the streets, rarely from RTW internet shops which I pretty much never look at.  I’m only interested in other seamstress’ blogs etc on the internet.  But, for a commit-free fashion play-time, this site has sucked me in, big time.
When I was randomly selecting and rejecting these virtual items to go into this little virtual ensemble I felt the artistic excitement a stylist must feel, when faced with piles of endlessly beautiful clothes with which you get to play with to put together “looks” for a fashion shoot; you can go for as beautiful, as colourful, as wacky, as goth, as elegant or as twisted as you choose.  You can really go to town here and play dress-ups to your heart’s content.  What’s not to like?  Check it out and enjoy!
