An un-stylish blogger writes about Vogue 8333

08/04/201115/12/2015 CarolynUncategorized17 Comments on An un-stylish blogger writes about Vogue 8333

I didn’t intend to take a photo of today’s outfit, as it was one that I threw together with no intention of looking stylish or put-together.  Purely randomly chosen things.  And I ended up being perversely happy with it.  You…

Deep Scarlet socks

A pair of sockies hasn’t been seen here on the blog for a while, although actually I finished these right at the beginning of March, and then got mired down in the me-made March maelstrom and sort of forgot about…

Billowy black shirt, with skulls

06/04/201115/12/2015 CarolynUncategorized32 Comments on Billowy black shirt, with skulls

The dress that wanted to be a skirt

31/03/201115/12/2015 CarolynUncategorized19 Comments on The dress that wanted to be a skirt

This skirt was originally a dress.  I posted about my dissatisfaction with it here, and Terri brilliantly commented that she thought this dress wanted to be a skirt.  Well, that revelation was like a bucket of cold water over my…

Brighty tighty

30/03/201115/12/2015 CarolynUncategorized19 Comments on Brighty tighty

Me-Made March, Day 30 I’m not 100% feeling this outfit.  Both the top and the skirt are getting old and have been kicking around in my wardrobe for a few years… both were part of my earlier plan to inject…
